    Talk jocks who heap praise on themselves.

    Jo Good for example. She finds it impossible to read out a listener’s message without including, ‘Hi Jo, love the show / loving the show / Great show as usual’.

    I mean, it’s not even a show is it? There are no singers, comedians, musicians, or dancing girls, it’s just a bit of old chit chat.

    Very hard to teach your grandchildren to behave properly when they see other children being allowed to do what the hell they like to the annoyance of others without any input whatsoever from whoever is meant to be looking after them.

    I guess in this day and age trying to teach children manners and respect is defined as child abuse and I am the one in the wrong.

    You're not alone... This pisses me right off. Just tell your kids off when they're not behaving FFS! It's not hard!

    Nah, the good parents are still the majority. The bad ones just stick out. And really, really annoying me.

    The widespread misconception, within the world of greasy spoons, that a bacon roll should contain one rasher and a bacon sandwich should contain two rashers, because that is sufficient to visually cover the full expanse of the bread.

    In order for a bacon roll to taste like a bacon roll, rather than a doughy, dry lump of bread that once spent some time near a piece of bacon, 2 rashers should be used. For a bacon sandwich, the correct bacon ration is 3 rashers per 2 slices of bread.

    Obviously if you are using the above as a guideline for bacon/bread preparation in the home, the above should be considered as a minimum acceptable quotient, with no upper limit on the bacon to bread ratio.

    When something small is broken on the system that you need to fix at work, has been baffling you for a while and you cant work out why or how to correct

    Only to suddenly realise the answer is right in front of you, and that it isnt broken!!

    Travellers. On the Gatwick Express from Brighton to Gatwick and they're blocking off the toilet whilst they fuck around with the toilet there's a lady with a toddler waiting to use the toilet.

    I step in to tell them to stop mucking about and to let the woman and her child use the loo... The fattest one of them starts repeatedly screaming in his full on pikey accent "who are you?" About an inch from my face.

    Part of me wanted to smash his teeth in but there's a kid there and I have a kid to get home to and there's 4 of the cunts.

    Only thing to do was respond with just let the woman use the loo.

    They started smashing the loo up and the lady and kid went to find another loo.

    They didn't do anything to me but start threatening and one of the fuckers snuck off and came back with another three... They were giving plenty of threats to which I just stared into the main fat fuckers face as he gave it all the large.

    As soon as the train stopped at Gatwick off they went, no sign of the promised violence, they just scarpered the cunts.

    I don't agree with swearing or using aggressive behaviour in front of kids, exactly why I didn't do anything (and the fact I was hugely outnumbered and I'm not entirely stupid).

    Pathetic wankers they really are.

    I'll await my flag for using the term pikey for these cunts.

    *Was writing as they were having a go hence the unusual structure of the post!

    Are you sure they’re not just tacked? Usually you can remove the stitching to find a perfectly useable pocket.

    What annoys me with that show is the amount of time the couples decide that they want to rethink their plans, or some other lame excuse, and dont buy a place, they have a week away for free the scrounging buggers, FFS. Part of the deal when you sign up is that they must buy one of the properties.

    The fact that when you look at online forms you are unable to scroll through and read the whole thing. If you try to access the next page before filling in the current one you get an error message.

    I like to read the whole thing before I commit personal information either to paper or cyberspace.

    The fact that agnostics and atheists like myself say "Jesus" as a throw away line.
    Why not Daniels, Copperfield or Dynamo.

    Cyclists on road, jumping red rights and generally being morons. So many self righteous pricks on bikes.

    As a pedestrian, a cyclist, a motorcyclist and a driver, I can say that this bolded line can be finished simply with "the road in all forms".

    That's right

    There are so many self righteous pricks on the road in all forms.

    Be it pedestrians crossing in unsafe areas

    be it cyclists jumping red lights

    be it motorcyclists weaving in fast moving traffic or riding on the wrong side of the road

    be it cars cutting one another up, speeding, being generally aggressive

    There are just too many pricks on the road.
