Expensive Yorkshire hotels that shut early for dinner.
If I've booked and arrived a bit late I still expect to get some steak at 9 bloody 30 at night.
Especially when it's Steak and BJ day (14th March)!If I've booked and arrived a bit late I still expect to get some steak at 9 bloody 30 at night.
Woops!Why are newspaper websites so f
king ste at including video in their pages ?
An example I saw today - a large building being explosively demolished in the centre of a city, and the best the local rag can do is some low resolution footage, probably shot on a crap phone, which consisted of a minute of static footage looking at the building before the explosions and cut off midway through the actual collapse.
Even my relatively cheap camera can shoot video in HD so there is no excuse for a newspaper which employs professional photographers for not being able to shoot something reasonably professional looking, editing it to include all of the actual event, and uploading it to Youtube in HD !

Yet if you had thought to go on youtube there are about 100 different videos of it from this morning... king ste at including video in their pages ?An example I saw today - a large building being explosively demolished in the centre of a city, and the best the local rag can do is some low resolution footage, probably shot on a crap phone, which consisted of a minute of static footage looking at the building before the explosions and cut off midway through the actual collapse.

At all shops, always, forever.
Or people behind you that push it right up to yours...despite you leaving a gap....its called personal space people bacl off...then they pack their shopping 3 tier high immediately behind the divided with the inevitable overflow collapse when the belt stopsAt all shops, always, forever.

Worst was one time where I was loading my shopping onto the conveyor and the girl behind me plonked a divider down and started to load hers on too. I simply said "I'm sorry but I'm going to need a bit more space than that" because she'd left me almost no space and I still had most of a trolley to unload. 
Weetabix.
Annoys me that ever time I try and get one out I have to concentrate so hard to not spill fking crumbs all over the place, concentration shouldn't be required in the morning.
Never have this problem with corn flakes.
Really winds me up.
(btw I don't eat weetabix, kids do. Just before I'm told to eat corn flakes....)

Red Bull/Christian Horner/Helmut Marko whingeing because they aren't winning
I would argue that's not "beyond reason". They're a bunch of self-important poseurs - they'd annoy the Pope.They seem to have got carried away by Bernie's attempt to mould F1 into his idea of entertainment, rather than a sport. The whole point of GP racing is that you try to built a better car than the opposition. If one car is clearly superior, so what? That means they have successfully out-engineered the other teams, which is the aim of everyone in the game.
If F1 turns out to be closely-fought, that's a bonus for the spectator. But it's not the aim. I hate everything about Red Bull - the soft drink of choice for all 15 year-old disaffected youths hanging around the precincts and parks before they get hyper on the stuff and damage property and mug old ladies. Austrian piss.
