    Fireworks, Magnus just barking at everyone that goes off and wanting reassurance from me.  The last few days have been awful and probably got another week of it.

    Motorbike riders that think it’s great to do something to their bike that makes ear splitting noise and ride around in the early hours just to annoy people (or at any time of the day). Fucking inconsiderate c***s!

    When you finally sit down for some r&r, but suddenly remember you've got to get the recycling done and put the bins out  :/

    The TV show, Portrait Artist of the Year, or more specifically the judging on it.

    Love watching some amazingly gifted artists do their work and see how the paintings emerge - but the judges so often let it down by favouring what to most people (I suspect) would be the least impressive work.

    Painting doesn't look anything like the sitter - no worries, the artist captured their "persona".
    I went to watch the Portrait Artist of the year this year and it was like watching paint dry. I left after an 45 minutes and went to the pie n mash shop in lavender hill then a few pints in the nearby pub which was more interesting 🧐 shame really as I enjoy watching it on the telly. 
    Yeah, I imagine watching it "live" would be a ball ache. Much better edited, condensed etc. I like the freeze-frame shots when you see how in about 15 seconds how a painting evolved over 4 hours.

    I stopped watching it ages ago.
    The judges picking something edgy & different that bared no resemblance to the sitter. Feck off!
    Probably why I never went to Art school, pretentious eejits!

    Agree with this. We live at the side of a by way and get motorbikes going up and down. I’ve not got a problem with that but it’s people who blast up there at top speed with no helmet on doing wheelies and pumping exhaust fumes out of their shit exhausts and then ride over the farmer’s field full of crops. The by way is mainly used by dog walkers and the odd horse. It’s an accident waiting to happen.

    balaclavas need to be outlawed. Only exist to hide identity.

    I wear a balaclava under my crash helmet for warmth in the winter and soaking up sweat in the summer when riding. However, there is no excuse for wearing them in shopping malls

    When people don’t check the most recent email in a thread and reply to a previous version. 

    We have a project manager at work who does this all the time…..losing the context of more recent replies. Drives me mad.

    Makes me laugh when they do it on the boxing. They are broadcasting two blokes smashing seven bells of shit out of each other and they think you’ll be offended if you hear someone say ‘fuck’.

    People who only rummage in their bags for their Oyster cards or whatever they’re paying with when they reach the reader machine, leaving a line of pissed off passengers, including me behind them.

    Get your F ing card ready before you board the F ing bus or train!

    Literally 99% of women who are buying something from a till. Been standing in line for 10 mins but wait till they’ve had everything scanned to take 2 minutes rummaging through their 12 foot deep bag. I include my missus in this, but I think that’s a tactic so I just scan my phone and end up paying.

    Supermarket Christmas TV adverts. 

    Whilst they are just a bit of fun, mildly amusing and harmless why do they all have to launch today?

    Is there no spontaneity or individualism at all ?

    Websites that you sign up to, and are happy to hear about their products, but then start to send you an e-mail every bloody day. So in the end you just block or delete without looking at them. Like the bosses of companies that utilise call centres, surely the folk in charge of these companies feel the same, but still they persist in something I am sure pisses far off more people than it impresses?

    Then you get the ones where you buy something from and get emails saying: "We've got a 15% discount code for you, make sure you use it by X date" only to continuously get emails letting you know that the offer has been extended for a limited time... rinse and repeat.
