Tonight: the one Friday night in the calendar when visiting the pub becomes an almost intolerable chore. That’s right, it’s good old Red f
king Nose Day (although I can’t help but think that, since the bleeding BBC is responsible for this wholly disreputable arsefest, a change of name might be in order. I don’t know - Dead Nonce Day perhaps? At least it has a ring of fking accuracy).
They’ll wait until about ten o’clock, the bds. Then, just as everyone is starting to get all nicely blootered, the ‘You don’t have to be mad to work here’ crew will cynically descend upon the unsuspecting hostelries. Dressed in the blandest, most inoffensive fancy dress costumes they can find they’ll frantically giggle their way through the crowds, slapping each other’s backs and dribbling into their pails. Oh, how we’ll laugh.
I don’t care for manufactured fun. I particularly don’t care for manufactured fun that has been encouraged by tedious, televisual tosspots who claim to be acting in the interest of the vulnerable while systematically turning a blind eye to several of their colleagues buggering their way through hordes of the very selfsame.
If anyone fking disturbs me while I’m gazing into my lager this evening they will be left in no doubt that I’m not remotely interested in "raising money for ADHD" and if they still won’t leave me alone I shall take a large, greasy st in their bucket.
Red Nose Day should fk off back to 1980, where it bloody well belongs.

Over running roadworks.
I was late for work this morning as the A232 between Wallington and Croydon was shut.
I'm assuming the resurfacing overran as there is no way they'd have scheduled a closure in peak period for this
busy commuter route.
Put me in a right bad mood first thing in the morning it did.

The FU@KING Muller adverts with nicole sh!tslinger or whatever her name is. They really don't make me want to buy a muller yoghurt or yogurt as we now seem to call it (I wasn't aware we had suddenly jumped the pond and are now living in FU@KING America) they just make me cringe and want to 
What on earth are Sky F1 playing at? They've split their live coverage of tomorrow's race up into 4 programmes on the Planner, which means you need to explicitly record / Series Link four different entries (which run sequentially) rather than one.
Yes, yes, First World Problems, blah blah
, but it's still irritating.
Yes, yes, First World Problems, blah blah
, but it's still irritating. Tough one this, as its a pedestrians prerogative to use a crossing correctly, but people who 'press the button' then cross before the Green Man really annoy me. Maybe its just me, but when I get to a crossing, I look at what traffic is coming before deciding whether or not to press the button. If there's lots of traffic, I'll push it then cross with the Green Man. If an opportunity to cross is apparent within a few seconds, I'll wait, not push the button and cross when the traffic has cleared.
The types that annoy me are the ones that push the button the second they reach it, then look around to see whats coming. If the traffic clears they cross leaving the lights to turn red and cars have to wait whilst no one is there crossing. Also the ones that push the button despite seeing there's only one or two cars closing in (on say a Sunday morning, very little traffic) forcing those one or two cars to stop so the person can cross, despite the fact if they'd just waited a couple of more seconds they could have let the cars pass and cross safely anyway.
A I started with though, it is of course a pedestrian's right to use the crossings correctly, but I get irritated by the above circumstances none the less.
Also, two of my housemates who are incapable of walking around the house without stomping. These two lads are skinny, light-weight types, but have the default walk setting of Elephant. They run up and down the stairs, even jumping off the bottom step for some reason, and its f**king annoying me as I see no reason to constantly run/stomp. I'm probably almost twice their weight yet can walk around the house in almost silence, I just don't get it.

You should direct your ire at the pillocks who insist on red light controlled crossings and then set the delay to "longer than any pedestrian is going to wait". aholes.Brigand said:

You're quite right with the Sunday morning one, it used to happen to me alot on the way into work. It should be a motorists right to run the selfish tw*ts over before 09:30hrs.
