    The data protection act.

    In the last two days, despite ticking the 'do not contact me with marketing crap' box, I have received a marketing telephone call from a Building Society at an inconvenient time and a begging letter from a charity.

    It all seems skewed to business and public sector abuse and obfuscation. My wishes are irrelevant as they can use, despite me requesting them not to, my details with impunity or sell them on to third parties to do similar yet when I want something or to help a family member out. 'Sorry can't help - data protection.'

    Really p***es me off!

    just glad I'm not near the stage of contemplating a syrup. imagine chasing that down the street if winds like this occur.
    Welcome to the forum Ben
    Usually, issuing a “lol” is for something that makes you smile and make a ‘heh’ noise, but this genuinely made me laugh out loud.
    Well played @Fumbluff

    The woman in the Jaguar advert who is walking through the hotel lobby with a jaguar.

    Receptionist attracts her attention and show her a list of restaurants that are popular choices.

    'I don't do popular choices' she replies in a snooty way. What a stuck up bitch.

    How about Paddy McGuinness cleaning his teeth? 
  • People who attempt DIY and don't use the same head screws throughout the job. One crosshead, one pan head, one countersunk, you know what I mean. Lazy bastards! FFS stop it.

    Totally agree about McGuinness.

    I’ll add more later.

    Ah a kindred spirit ... Vanessa Feltz?  Probably a good, intelligent broadcaster, but a voice so irritating, I just have to turn her off.

    I’ve now put talksport on through my phone speaker, she’s turned her speaker up so I’ve turned my one up.

    Getting caught short in a bar n Arras. French toilets are not the best place to have a dump.

    Hopefully the fallout will clear by the time we come back in July

    Food waste.

    I love my grandsons dearly but they have a habit of asking me for a sandwich and then not eating it.

    I'm thinking of cutting out the middle men and just throw them straight outside for the birds.

    As annoying as food waste is, I don’t think feeding your grandchildren to the birds will solve anything

    Perhaps, seeing as you don't eat them afterwards, they may not be that good.

    Any pronunciation of the letter H at the start of the word aitch.
    People who say tissue without the H noise of tish
    The same pronunciation that seemingly all politicians make a real point of using for "issue" and "negotiate" (which doesn't even have an 's' in)

    Ours was doing that for about four hours due to a power cut the other day.  In the middle of the night.  Kept waking the kids up too.

    Really annoying I agree!
