General things that Annoy you

Bloody barbecue smoke. First bit of weather decent enough to sit outside & the moron 2 doors down lights one up. I'd just finished cutting the grass & was relaxing in a chair enjoying the smell of the freshly mowed lawn. Do people not realise you can still have a Sunday roast when the temperature rises?

Same here. What’s wrong with a sandwich and a cold beer? 

I’ve never understood the British fascination with burning food in the back garden on a £30 piece of tin when just meters away they have kitchens that cost thousands.

People making noise by mowing the lawn while I’m trying to enjoy a barbecue... :-)

Sorry to urinate on the parade @charltonkeston but I love the smell of barbecues firing up. Bonfires make me angry but barbecues are welcome especially mashed up with fresh curry grass

Curry grass?! Cut grass I meant 

iaitch

Jamie, Gordon and the rest will be having that on their new menu.

Me too mate, love the smell of a lit BBQ, especially with a cold beer in hand.

Waiting for it to kick off big style here, fella one who objected to a wooden extension being built to close to the fence line has painted his front door. Fella two has lit a barbecue literally 6’ from his open front door and I think he’s burning car tyres on it, it’s going over the fence straight into the open front door. From where I’m sitting there doesn’t appear to be any cooking going on . 😂😂😂

When I get to rule the world expect some dietary changes.

I am sure that the arrival of Spring in the UK and hence the start of 'barbecue season' coincides with season food-poisoning breaking out as pissed up blokes wildly under-estimate how long it takes to cook raw meat - especially chicken - on an under-powered BBQ.

The confusion is enhanced by the fact that the skin of the chicken - in fact the entire exterior - has been turned charcoal black, hence, of course, disguising the fact that the middle is completely raw.

I always cover the chicken pieces in foil and bake it in the oven for twenty minutes before shoving it on the BBQ (on the very rare occasions that I do BBQ anything).

People who don’t know what social distancing means/is.
It was my turn to do the food shopping today, off I went on my own, a small queue outside supermarket, one in one out, pull up banners with the stay safe messaging everywhere.
i saw several people shopping in pairs, it’s supposed to be one person per family. FFS.
Where possible 2 metres apart, I bit difficult but if you screw your nut  and wait while someone is in front choosing produce then you’ll get your turn....but no, this brothel bred bastard leans right over me to pick up a tin of beans, FFS, I pointed out social distancing to him “oh sorry I forgot, I’m in a rush”.
Why is it always the thick twats that don’t get very basic messaging.
Maybe his like will get culled during this pandemic but no doubt it will be an innocent instead.
Sometimes I fucking hate people.

My memory (or lack of I should say).  

I'm so envious of those who remember their first game at the Valley and all the details.  I can't even remember the year that I first attended, although somewhere in the mid 60s.  I did see Billy Bonds, Charlie Wright, Lenny Glover, Alan Campbell Keith Peacock, Harry Gregory, Brian Kinsey and co. I recall seeing Eddie Firmani in his last few games - obviously, sadly lost his edge by then. I also remember being irritated by Ron Saunders, running after loss causes - and slowly - although his record is certainly better than I remember. 

Anyway there was something else I wanted to say - but can't think of it at the moment - I'll get back to you, it may hit me in a day or two.

Same here, I also usually cook everything under the grill for 10 minutes before finishing them on the BBQ.

Anyone who wears their hood up in a car, guess they do it because they think their ‘Gangstas and in the hood’?

Yeah right and a Skoda is the No 1 Gangsta car!

That you only have problems with smoke detectors in middle of the night.

It's weird isn't it that the batteries only start to fail in the night.

We used to get chocolate egg and a cardboard hollow one that had a little cheap present in it. Seem to remember getting a Disney watch one time. Always hidden round the back of the curtains

Mum knocked it on the head last year

The over use of drone camaras in practically everything these days. They do get some great shot, but reckon they get well over used

People who speak in a high pitched whiny voice when talking to animals or baby’s, I mean honestly why?

Last week Dog Owners were the selfish c**** who thought they were entitled to exclusive rights to pavements and made no effort towards 'social distancing.' This week's c**** of the week are cyclists who also think they have exclusive rights to the pavement despite there being less cars on the road. I'm not talking about parents with primary age or younger children - that's understandable but teenagers and adults. One woman even had the cheek to say 'you should be at home mate' when I suggested that her adult size bicycle should be in the road rather than on the pavement. She also didn't like being told that I had as much right to exercise as her.

When I were a lad bicycles of 20'' wheels or more were supposed to go in the road and not on the pavements. When did it change?

Keep getting the same Happy Easter meme from loads of different people.  What is it about Easter that brings out such unoriginality?.

I think at exactly the same time gobbing on the pavement became de rigueur and queueing for buses was deemed bad manners.

I always find cyclists take to the road with no comment.

So, there was i cycling along the pavement with two dogs either side of me on my 24” wheel bicycle. This bloke starts giving me grief when he ought to be at home as he had no reason to be out. Some people’s behaviour in this crisis really annoys me.
