That woman isn't royalty, she just thinks she is. Her opinion isn't worth a toss.http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/princess-...

"Fragrance" adverts, particularly the plethora at this time of year. Not all of us have an odour that requires covering up. Not all of us are desperate enough to believe that spraying a few droplets of these substances onto our person will turn us into a bed hopping Adonis. Get. The f
k. Off. Of. My. TV.
My particular bug bear is the one with the press conference and "Would you like her to rephrase the question?" Really grinds my gearsk. Off. Of. My. TV.

And you don't just click yes and let it do its thing, it asks you for confirmation on every bloody step and all the icons bounce until you give them attention!
How hard can it be for the stupid thing to just update quietly in the background and leave me the fk alone??

k alone?? F***tards who drive like they are in charge of somebody else's million dollar uber-powerful supercar, carefully and slowly drawing away from traffic lights at crawling through junctions! And I'm sure they think they are the only car on the road!
I live in the third world, where most people drive like unschooled spastics, yet the one area that is fairly strict they drive like some cop has a gun aimed at them. EG. A left turn filter lane near my home, with 15 seconds to get through, or you sit for another 60. (There are visible timers on the lights) Some cretins take 5 seconds or more just to even get rolling, then another five to crawl carefully and surgically across the junction, while ten or more cars are behind them all itching to give them a bumper-nudge!
Then they get out of the controlled area and immediately swap to the wrong lane, manoeuvre without indicating, stop at will, and generally turn back into the morons they are on a daily basis.

You eat Shepherd's Pie in a restaurant and you share vegetables?? You obviously have extravagant tastes but why have pie in a restaurant when the Findus ones, though revolting, probably won't result in any long term health issues?My admittedly ancient (in technological terms) Humax PVR (6 years old) can series link too. Except it doesn't allow for programs starting or finishing slightly late or early.
You can set it to start early and finish early, but NOT if you want to series link.
As a result, I've got about a dozen separate programs for soaps.
And let's not even talk about overlaps which are usually handled by the PVR just not bothering to record either program.
Thing is, it's always done it. Useless sack of st.

t.Airline websites that take forever to load on a slow offshore connection! Particularly Qatar airways. Twenty minutes just to load all their flowery moving pictures junk!!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Then you click on 'check in' and it starts all over again?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
And airlines web sites that won't let you check in on-line, just tell you that they can't find your booking, or some other nonsense, so you have to wait until you get to the airport and join the other once-a-year grockles queuing in the confusion and excitement, squealing "Oh good goody, we have a big long flight to enjoy".
I'm flying from the Philippines to the USA tonight, mainly on Korean Airlines, and they won't let me pick a seat OR check in on line, from their fked up website.
I have to get to Korea first and run up to their service desk, to check in, and HOPE their is still an aisle seat left for the 14 hour hitch to Houston.....
