    People that go all the way round roundabouts to avoid queuing with everyone else in the correct lane. Particularly prevalent on the roundabout near Bromley college heading into Bromley - really pisses me off

    Ha, never thought of that.

    Accidentally buying soda water instead of tonic. I was so looking forward to a G&T this evening, but this is absolutely disgusting.

    Doing a bit of work on my flat this afternoon. Want some form of football on the radio in the background while I'm working - non-league commentary would be fine, or just some form of banal football chitchat show. I've not set my expectations at all high.

    Talksport - rugby
    Talksport 2 - rugby
    Radio 5 - rugby
    BBC London - rugby

    Wtf?! The egg-chasers have just had their 2 months of taking over the pubs, disrupting coverage of the national sport, being raucous in a posh way, excessive wearing of chinos and being called Toby. This should have finished by now. Harlequins vs Newcastle Falcons can sod off.

    The Heights does.

    However in estate agent speak i think it is all the roads east of the A102 until Victoria way and as far north as (above) the railway. eastcombe avenue to Victoria way basically.

    That's "The Slopes" in estate agent lingo, not The Heights.
    Right... so between Sun in the Sands and Charlton Church Lane. What's that? I literally don't know where I live.

    I put Charlton, but that's not even the closest station. Shooters Hill is further up the hill? Or the other side of it?

    The bit between the Standard and Charlton 'Village' is Charlton Heights then? With Rectory Field, Nisa, etc.?
    I lived in Rectory Field Crescent, which was classed as Charlton, if I jumped over my back fence into the football ground, I was in Blackheath

    The cellist off Clean Bandit, I don't know why but she gets my goat

    It's because she's a twat.

    There's a girl I'm friends with on Facebook who I used to go to school with, and she seems stuck at the emotional maturity of a 14-year-old.
    She shares memes about relationships which either say things like "All I want is to wake up in the morning and be loved",
    or they're full of bitter regret and petty vengeance. For example, one she shared today said "There's NOTHING better than seeing your ex-bf with a girl who's uglier than you."

    Really? NOTHING better? Like, that's the pinnacle of your existence, the situation you strive and dream for? It's confusing. But it's also really quite saddening that she holds onto such negative ideals. It's also annoying because she shares about five of these a day.

    She's now started saying "awesome" as "ahhsome" and called the teenage turtles "turdles". Whilst i agree with the sentiment, there's no excuse for the accent. It's hard enough ironing out the Essex vowels as it is

    I also reset the clock on the cooker without looking it up too... Mind you we still get power outages here once in a while, so you do it more often than twice a year.

    They painted some of them bike lanes a lovely slidey light blue, that acts as a skid pan in the wet.

    I was cycling back from Strood towards Gravesend yesterday. Using that bike lane on a road bike is a nightmare. In the end I just cycled on the road but I bet plenty of drivers were getting the hump that I wasn't in the bike lane.

    The other thing that annoyed me was being less than a mile from home and getting a puncture on the rear wheel.

    They're just Pondlife, Scum of the Earth, just like the kids that press the button at crossings and carry on along the pavement.

    Despite our clocks going forward we are still an hour behind most of the rest of Europe.
    I thought we changed our clocks for the benefit of a few Scottish farmers? Why does the rest of Europe do it?

    You might want to take a bit of notice of what the kids are watching on Youtube, it seems some of the cartoons are fake and not suitable.

    The twat, who yesterday decided to stop to let cars out of the Tesco car park at Welling train station while the traffic light were green, resulting in me being stuck in a yellow box. Waiting for the ticket.
