Things that annoy you beyond reason...? [Vol 3]
Discussion
The news is beginning to really irritate me.
Every night at 6 or 10 it`s the same garbage about Muslims and the middle east.
Why not about something that`s happened in Denmark, New Zealand or Canada for a change or does the rest of the world not exist?
Add that to some `MP` that`s been caught with a bit on the side or had some other heinous crime uncovered to make news and it`s like f****** groundhog day.

Food served on anything other than a plate. We have had this marvellous invention for years that is great for serving food. It has a smooth glazed finish that means it is easily cleaned and has a raised edge to stop stuff falling off the sides. If I order a burger in a pub, they all seem to think we want it served on a fking wooden chopping board with a piece of greaseproof paper. I do not want a chopping board, nor do I want a floor tile, a piece of slate, or whatever other st from B&Q you think I want to eat off.
Yesterday I went to a bar in Manchester's Northern Quarter. When the steak sandwich I ordered arrived, it was served in a fking oven tray (lined with greaseproof paper of course). The salad was chucked on the paper, I had a separate bowl of coleslaw, the steak butty was plonked in the middle, and my fking chips in were an enamel-painted tin mug. Just put the fking food on a plate, and while we're at it, a fking round one. I do not want rectangular, square, or some fking wavy thing - just give me a normal fking plate, with my cow butty!

You should try a Cafe, a Good Mug of Tea and a Big round plate Yesterday I went to a bar in Manchester's Northern Quarter.

On a similar theme......Cups of tea in most shopping centers and Coffee houses, I would just like a Mug of Tea, Not a Bloody tea pot, separate cup, saucer, Milk jug, etc, You stick it all on a tray and there's no room left for anything else, then you try to walk it over to the table and the lot of it slides all over the place. They do this on Ferry crossings too.
Just chuck the Tea bag in the bloody Mug, Job done. Oh, and all those Bloody Twinings tea bags, breakfast tea, Earl Grey, Poncy stuff the lot of it, Good ole PG Tips or Yorkshire No Nonsense Tea bags for me please.

Someone "Do you want a drink?"
Me "No thanks"
Someone "You sure?"
Me "Yes, I am 45 years old and have got through all of those years knowing if I wanted a drink or not so why do you assume I don't now?"
This applies to countless other questions I get asked which seem to necessitate a 'Are you sure?" response!
Me "No thanks"

My 7 year old daughter is hooked on Minecraft and rather playing it herself she has now taken to watching Youtube videos of someone else playing it (work that one out!). Anyway there is a guy called 'stampylonghead' on youtube who is now a regular in our house hold.
The sound of his voice and his stupid Jimmy Carr laugh! I hate stampylonghead!
Anyone else feel my pain?
