Minor things that really annoy you

Owld biddies, keep stopping me in the street, and asking if I'm Kirky, off Corrie
Some nurses at Hartlepool hospital, thought I was Kirky, and a young lass, at North Tees hospital, also thought, I was Kirky.

I suppose you look like Lee Mack anarl?

Collective delusion of football pundits and commentators hyping anyone English with a bit of promise, telling us how they 'led the team' and 'ran the game' when all you saw with your own eyes was someone running into blind alleys or hitting it off the first man.

People who say "We'll all have driverless cars in 5 years time!".

They've been saying it for the last 10 years and they can't ever have worked with computers or cars or have a clue how much work needs to be done to get there.

People who slather on aftershave for the gym. There's a bloke here now absolutely honking of some knock off Aventus clone. Making me feel physically sick.

People who use their phones in gyms for anything other than music

People who say "We'll all have driverless cars in 5 years time!".

So maybe 12 to 15 then?

Lollipop men and women who stop traffic to let grown adults over the road. You're there for the bairns man, stop grinding the traffic to an absolute standstill every two minutes to let people over who are more than capable of navigating a road themselves.

In small, low speed, geofenced areas yeah, it can be done. New York, San Francisco, LA, Central London etc, wealthy high demand areas, it will happen.

Sadly it'll be double that before we see them on the roads elsewhere, if ever. If it does work haulage companies will be the ones who invest the billions needed to push it across the finish line.

Getting to the point where the steering wheel can be removed and they can go everywhere is about as technically challenging as going to mars.

Unfortunately this scares investors off so none of the companies working on it really want to admit just how long it will take.

The ones who stand 30 yards away from a zebra crossing, ffs.

You get the odd one that's aching to wield their power. Stopping cars when there's no one else behind and they could just wait another five seconds.

They're talking about ending production of petrol cars in ten or twenty year's time. Then consider how efficient the last one's made will be; they might limp on another ten, twenty years. I do think things like free, driverless trams will become the norm in most major cities. Something on rails that won't have to have 100% infallibility.
