Really minor annoyances


It's more the fact they pass on guessable ones. The question could be in which ocean is such and such island? Just say Pacific or Atlantic
Was watching an old quiz last week "Which country won the first football World Cup". The lady's answer was "Man United" - because her husband had told her not to pass on football questions "because the answer is usually Man United". I did wonder if she thought it was the Isle of Man football team.
 
People messaging me to tell me they're about to message me as part of a wider group to message about a meeting they want with that wider group.

Just send me a meeting invite FFS and put all the pertinent details into the invite, including an agenda and any pre-reading that I might need.

Slack message to warn about a Teams message to warn about an Outlook meeting request about a Jira ticket.

f***ing hell I'm glad it's Friday
 
Am baffled by the logic here
What mine or theirs ?
If you're driving on the right you want to give anyone outside you notice youre in a RHD vehicle and probably unused to local customs . Put the UK sign high on the left is maximum visibility , right bumper you'll have to be fully out before they see you. The Frenchies typically dont give much quarter even to each other anyway .

There was a woman on Pointless (I think) who's boyfriend told her to answer "Henrik Larsson" if any footballer question came up and it won her the money.

Oh sorry, when abroad?

I was thinking UK driving patriots, encouraging humping a GB sign on the right cheek of their vehicle
 
Now tv.

2 to 3 f***ing minutes behind the tv coverage when watching a match.
Or NowTV prices. £14 for the whole day of SkySports. They go on about all the value, all the sports you can watch. But I don't want to sit in front of the telly for a whole day. I want to watch the Sunderland game and that is it. A £5 match pass would be far better (for me).

I only used Now for the Spurs game, as my father in law is a Spurs fan and I wanted to make sure it worked.
 
Getting to a stage in life where I can now afford a nice Porsche that I would have relished in my 20’s but now it would look ridiculous à boomer in a car like that
There is a day of the year I call 'red head' day. The first hot day of the year where you can go out mid afternoon and see town centre roads full of short, portly bald over 45s cruising around in their soft top sports car with the roof down for the first time this year, getting the tops of their heads sunburnt because they are not used to it. You see them get out and waddle across the car park to B&M, proud of their little car now the mortgage is paid off or the retirement lump sum came through, glowing like a lighthouse.

Now I am in that age and hairline group, I'd actually prefer a camper van.
