Things that annoy you beyond reason...? [Vol 3]
Discussion
Near me there is a pub that has for as long as I've lived in the area had an entertainment licence, Bands playing a couple of times a week. It closed for a refurbishment about 2 years ago. I assumed the landlord/brewery has run out of money, or some sort. I found out a couple of weeks ago the work stopped as the People in the NEW flats (Built whilst the pub was still open) objected to the entertainment licence so it's been revoked and the brewery don't know now what to do with it.
What i find ost annoying is the last of common sense within the council. Really the council should have written to the residents and said " If you don't like the noise , why did you buy property overlooking a pub, now pss off"

Harpenden 'Classics on the common' show usually has a couple each yearI've never even ever seen one in the flesh.
Not much good if you're in India at the time though...

I had the pleasure when I was 18. I went to the Ferrari Maserati Festival at Brands Hatch and my friend collared the owner and asked if we could sit in it. It was shoddily put together, cramped (I was ~6' 1" at the time), smelt funny and was really rather uncomfortable. But it was wonderful, and when I think back I just wish I'd had the keys! I've never even ever seen one in the flesh.
However, he wouldn't let us sit in his F50 next to it.

An acquaintance of mine in Knutsford owns one. It's garaged - he's hoping its value will keep rising astronomically. PM me if you're ever up Cheshire way.I've never even ever seen one in the flesh.
Thank you,thats Jolly decent of you - Won't be for a while yet though!

To be fair, most of the pub gigs I've been to, and that's quite a lot, the music has been so LOUD that it could be hear streets away. In the pub itself I always wore ear plugs and was amazed at how many people seem to think having their ears reamed was really good stuff. There really isn't a need for such high volumes in a pub or similar.What i find ost annoying is the last of common sense within the council.

I've never understood this; I've been dragged to several such gigs and it's torture even with earplugs. The distortion means you can't tell whether they're ste or really good and it's so painful I have to leave. In a pub that's big enough for perhaps 60 people standing why the need for a speaker stack sized for Donington Monsters of Rock? Are they paid by the decibel? I know it's been done before, but women who bring their bloody children into the office.
The shouty woman here doesn't work Fridays but she's just decided to drop in with her smallest offspring and suddenly half the office goes 'ooooooh loook, it's the little princess and the other half cringes behind their screens and hopes they'll bog off soon.
All the cooing and aahing.
I don't get it.

Loud motorbikes.
Cars that hurt passers-by's ears are frowned upon, motorbikes are not. Why?
Also picture this: You're miles from anywhere, high up on Kinder Scout - a desolate high plateau in the Dark Peak with wonderful views over Cheshire, Derbyshire and the Ladybower and Derwent dams. A pair of hawks circle overhead. You've not seen another living human for two hours and to you and your dog it's total natural bliss. Hark! What's this? The distant cry of moorland grouse or scrabbling in the underbrush of a hare rare to theses parts? You turn your head to listen more attentively...No, it's the far-flung yet ubiquitous noise of two tts on motorbikes living the Barry Sheene dream in a 50 zone and making sure every other bugger in a 10 mile radius can hear them.
