Just caught an ad for Morrisons on GOLD.

"Smoky pulled pork beefburgers."

How the raging fk can a burger made of pork be a 'beef' burger. Situations vacant: advertising copywriter.
There's (a lot) more beef than pork in them, so no copywriter required.

Drivers that have their wipers going full speed when there's only light rain falling.
This is so true. Either means auto wipers or are totally clueless as how to use the controls of their car.
My auto wipers do this: On slightly or manic with no in-between - They're fundamentally stooooooooopid...

Cats taking a censored in my garden. A few weeks ago, the cats owner witnessed it do it too.

Her: "Well.....cats will be cats"

Me: "Do you mind picking it up?"

Her: "Only if you can prove it's my cats mess"

Me: "You've just watched it take a dump on my grass"

Owner is suddenly convinced the cat is not theirs.

Her: "That wasn't my cat, did you see how it didn't look at me when I called it?"

Me: "You didn't call it"

Now that I'm looking after my in laws labrador, cat leavings have stopped. However, noticing the dog and the sudden explosion of cat censored in her garden, I've had nothing but negative comments thrown my way. She's moaning about how disgusting the cat censored is and about how she's picking up dog mess too. I suspect the latter is a lie. If it is dog mess, it's not ours unless the dog has a gold medal in flying high jump scensoredts.

I'm no longer allowed to let the dog have free roaming privileges in MY house or MY garden with a door open, just incase it decides to tear the cats apart. The dog should be kept locked up at all times and supervised throughout its visit to MY garden but a thoughtful suggestion that perhaps her cat be locked up too for its own safety was ludicrous. Cats are allowed outside, her cat was here first and if it wants to, it can and should be allowed into my garden.

She's gone batcensored crazy. Amazing how cleaning up your own cats leavings, rightfully on your garden, can suddenly cause this much hostility/mental.

I'm so glad that you posted that because I have wanted to post something like this for weeks. But haven't.

Several times over the past... well, months really... I have found myself in stop-start traffic where I have my wipers on slow intermittent and the person in front has theirs on full fastest speed. And it really does annoy me beyond reason. As in, I genuinely do not know why it irritates me so much but it does.
People who still have their rear wiper on days after it last rained, you sit behind them in traffic watching it drag and judder across the dry glass half expecting to see smoke coming from it.
It proves they never use their rear view mirror nor have any clue about what is going on around them.

All that jazz

yes I was just about to make a post saying the same. How the juddering fk can they not HEAR the wiper taking chunks out of the rear window glass? Boggles the mind..

I'd erect a 5ft neon FRO sign pointed in her general direction.

Dog is allowed out - the cat needs to up it's game (and we have two cats).

PC games are no different and it hacks me off no end. They must have some pretty poor developers if they can't get a bug free game out for the release date and require a 15Gb patch. a few Mb sure but Gb, thats just rediculous. Are you sure it wasn't additional content?

Its because the deadline for the game going gold (pressed onto discs) will be too tight for the project, so game ships unfinished effectively, you download the finished bit that they worked on for a further 6 weeks.

Because everyone has 100mb fibre nowadays.....what do you mean no!WeI do in our Silicone Valley Studio office.....

Yes, because cats are well known for responding when called.

Really nice watches (especially chronographs) - that don't come with a metal bracelet option.

I have seen so many nice watches that only come with rubber or leather straps, but I can't wear them as they irritate my skin.
