    In fact, any music or musician I dont like annoys me.

    It's true, I could avoid him, but I'm not really happy unless I'm annoyed about something. It makes my life slightly more significant. In my mind.

    So I will focus on one musician, who is very rarely on the radio and never on the TV, and decide to be annoyed by him. No album for a decade, no tour for more than that, but grrrr.

    It says a lot about me.

    He's played a lot in my house and I can't stand him.
    Sorry if that doesn't fit your caricature of me and my life.
    I suppose your jumping to conclusion might say a lot about you too.

    But how else are they meant to show everyone that they’re absolute wild cards who just can’t be tamed?

    The middle aged bloke on my train laughing out loud watching his phone with his earphones in, the randomly ending the laugh with a ‘brilliant’. Honestly, what’s that funny at 8:30am and that you can’t laugh inside your head. Really wanna punch him.
    Sorry, I was watching an episode of Miranda, the one where she keeps falling over.
    Hahaha, brilliant!

    Any woman, especially single women this applies to, who post pictures of themselves superimposed as an animal is essentially saying "Youd rather fuck a dog than me" or at least, Inlool more attractive as an animal hybrid 

    Don't get me wrong there is nuances to that, I once banged a girl I'd met at a fancy dress party and she was dressed as a rabbit. Doesn't mean I'm into shagging rabbits but, ya know, it made me think.

    You can pretty much guarantee that any woman that has the dog filter on their profile pic has 'full-time mummy' as their job description.

    When you see a news story & then find out it was (mostly) stage managed.......

    Speaking specifically today of Boris' "altercation"  with a "upset parent" at a N London  hospital. On first viewing I really felt for the bloke & thought "at last.....someone has actually said something to a politician" when you see these photo calls. 

    Alas......the "upset parent" turns out to be a Labour activist. Apparently he had taken his child to that hospital last night & had to wait some time before being seen. Sheer coincidence then that Boris just happened to be visiting that hospital this morning.......

    Labour will do anything to get into power.

    Supermarket pears that are sold to 'ripen at home'.  Should be labelled 'take home and throw on compost heap'.  It'll save time in the long run as they'll remain rock hard for 2 weeks and then turn to mush in about 5 minutes flat.

    I'm sure Boris /his team/PR had organised his "walkabout" some time in advance & not that morning. Not agreeing with it for one moment & find those things cringeworthy......which was why I applauded (at first) this random bloke turning on the PM.

    But it then turns out that "random man" just happens to be a Labour activist & at that very same hospital that morning. Call me cynical......

    Gents - I think the purpose of this thread is for light hearted observations of life, political shenanigans should be discussed on the forbidden part of the forum.

    Thing is - the bloke was right, wasn't he. Maybe that's what should be annoying folk?

    Quite agree. I couldn't have been one of the nice staff they showed sitting down drinking tea with him. I would have got up after 2 mins & said..."must rush....we are 5 staff members short today..."

    Same with Avocados.  Single most disappointing thing in life is cutting into an avocado that is either rock hard or brown.

    The 20mph speed limit in the London Borough of Lewisham. Particularly across Blackheath Common (The Heath). It's not practical. And other roads across the borough too. Particualrly when you are in a rush. These roads are designed for 30mph. Now cars dangerously tailgate or dangerously overtake those sticking to the rules.

    Whatever the limit that happens.

    Just for the record Golfy, I am in broad agreement with your point about stage-managed news items. In fact, I almost made the same point here the other day when I heard two stories in quick succession about Margaret Atwood's new book: Firstly that Amazon had "inadvertently" send out some pre-order copies before the release date, then some nonsense about "unprecedented" cyber security. These seemed to have far more prominence than to be explained by randomness - more Random House. It's not really important stuff, but it did irk me that I was being kept from hearing genuinely important news by what looks like some clever PR work by her publishers. The relevance here is that these stage managed news items occur all the time.

    As for politicians, they do seem to undertake rather more hospital visits than are necessary. It is the sort of cheap PR that I'm sure Random House would be very proud of. Personally though, I think their hospital visits should be limited to specific circumstances:
    1. When they, or people they are close to, are ill. In which case they should be kept private and should not be reported at all.
    2. Fact finding missions to inform public policy. In which case it should be the Minister of Health (or those working to him) not the Prime Minister doing them. Perhaps these visits could even be named Hancock's Half Hours.
    3. Times of national emergency. In which case they should encompass leaders of all parties and should be focussed on improving morale and showing support rather that party political point scoring.
    4. To highlight specific health issues. These should again be cross party and should be aimed at highlighting specific preventative/remedial actions that the public should take.
    Outside of the above I can think of no instances when I'd think it acceptable. In the case of Johnson, this is a man who has closed Parliament on the basis that his government needed more time. Yet he has the time to go swanning around Whipps Cross. He is threatening to drive this country off a cliff, but his priorities are to try and bolster his personal ratings by showing fake sympathy to  some sick kids. This should be a real cause of anger: the inappropriate use of Prime Minister's time for his own personal gain during a national emergency.  And yet the bit that you chose to pick up on is that his visit didn't match his aims because one of the hundreds of people in that hospital, a man with a genuine reason to be there, happened to be a Labour activist. It's a sick joke.
