Things that annoy you beyond reason...? [Vol 3]
Discussion
I don't mind London per se, its better than it used to be, pre olympic bid it was much much more unfriendly imho...
Manchester / Birmingham however, sprawling cesspits.
my main moan though is HS2 and the idea that in a country this size we need to be able to travel 200 miles twenty minutes quicker and this will somehow make the ecomonomy flourish - I know there is a separate thread but there seems to be a polotical blindfol on those in westminster supporting this to the hilt that just doesn't figure for me.
This has all the makings of a "New Wembley" but on a much grander scale. Why did Wembley cost sooooo much???? fingers in pies my friends, fingers in pies.

Being angry at the waste of £billions by London on an unsubstantiated and unlikely hypothesis - that The North will benefit - is not an annoyance beyond reason. Get thee to the other thread! Manchester / Birmingham however, sprawling cesspits.

That every thread on PH, seemingly without exception degenerates into multiquote battles between 2 or 3 keyboard warriors who don't seem to understand the point in a discussion board is to discuss and it's OK to have a different viewpoint or opinion. And everyone that posts seems to consider themselves an armchair expert and if someone as much as suggests what they have posted may not be entirely, 100% accurate the whole thread mutates and expands far beyond the original question and the Original poster gets lost in a series of tit for tat quotes that completely ruin the thread. Sigh.
Welcome to the internet I guess, but it seems to be getting worse and worse.

Bristol's Traffic
0.4miles covered in 55mins, 4mile journey covered in 1hr 22mins.
Would be quicker to walk.0.4miles covered in 55mins, 4mile journey covered in 1hr 22mins.
Why not walk?Dropping the kiddo off at at nursery is also really easy on foot - no problem at all.
Oh then there's my client meetings between Bristol and The City...
People use cars because they need them.
Posts that start along the lines of "Hey guys, how much did you pay for your 'insert rare/unusual modification' ?" implying that whatever unusual/rare/dumb idea the OP has come up with is an everyday occurrence. Why not just ask if anyone has done it before ?
People asking questions online in forums etc. that could be answered quicker and more easily by typing the bloody question into Google

Cyclists
Lorries and cars have extra lights for dealing with fog and very poor conditions: Ramblers and hillwalkers wear reflective clothing and carry torches and stay away from the roads - those with modern accoutrements like the internet seek out local weather reports before commencing their journey.
Do everyone who uses the high peak roads in poor conditions a favour and stay off them unless you can be bothered to take adequate care to make yourself seen. f

The New Christmas Advert by Sainsburys 
The fact that they take one of the most poignant moments from the First World War and use it to Sell their bloody products.
SHAME ON YOU Sainburys.
Why is it shameful? It's not like they're emotionally blackmailing the consumer. The fact that they take one of the most poignant moments from the First World War and use it to Sell their bloody products.
SHAME ON YOU Sainburys.
The Advert, and remember this IS an advert is about Giving at Christmas, Sainsburys is hoping you buy Gifts from their store. Edited by fatboy18 on Sunday 16th November 02:19

People using the word literally incorrectly, viz "I had a curry so hot yesterday my ahole was literally on fire".
I somehow doubt it.
We have some hot sauce at home measuring about 700,000 on the Scoville Scale (Blair's Ultra Death sauce). The day after some of that and the above situation was surprisingly close to being true. One small spark...hole was literally on fire".I somehow doubt it.
Back on topic, the current obsession with every track on an album featuring somebody. I list music on my phone by artist, the whole 'feat.' thing splits the album into 5 different artists so i end up going through and correcting all the mp3 tags so that the whole album sits under one artist. I truly, epically and heroically could not give the slightest
who else was involved. If i did, I'd Google it, realise that I've never heard heard of DJ McSchizzlefreakanizzle and revert back to my previous state of not giving a There must be a better way of getting this mutual promotion across than buggering up the artist name?
