Pointless redesigns like the latest Outlook one. Something works fine, seems to keep everyone happy then they go and change everything.
FFS WHY???
I'm wondering why the heck they've put ALL my inbox emails on ONE page, none of my computers can load the page up now without having to wait. Does anyone know how to get back to the (say) 30 per page system if at all possible?FFS WHY???

That's bonkers money for some air.2 TV adverts are bugging me at the moment, one from British Gas and one from Sky.
The BG one with the penguin is advertising free electricity at weekends from 9-5 or what ever it is, so why does the electric lawnmower have the noise of a petrol mower added??
The one from Sky is the cartoon one with the animals from the film Pets, where the little yappy one wants everyone to dance along with her. Yes it's only a cartoon but the wireless router is sitting beside the laptop up on the unit at the start of the ad, then magically makes it down to the floor so little yappy dog can jump on it, scratch it etc...
Not massively OTT things but once I'd spotted them I always notice them now.
Grr.

We have this argument, I rinse the plates when I put them in and the bint just throws them in, bloody chav.It must be stacked properly and precisely ensuring that the kitchenware is not just thrown in and hope for the best. It is sometimes, but not always, necessary to clean/scrape dishes prior to loading.
Large items, which take up too much space, must always be washed separately.
The stackee must always resist any intimidation or threats of 'Nothing for you tonight' to divert from the above.
All this stuff is written into domestic law and must be obeyed to avoid fruitless arguments over dirty plates and dishes.
Amen.
My neighbour recently built a BBQ with a roof and chimney in his back garden (and a lookout tower and added lots of wind chimes and lots of lights but that's for another time) - now this happens every night...
Now I love a BBQ so fair play to him for using it, but what annoys me beyond reason is that the smoke never comes out of the chimney. I just want to see the chimney work

No, not allowed at Reading. Which is why I love Reading so much. A royal PITA if it's wet as you can't take golf brollies in either, but hey? You win some, you lose some.TV Camera shots of bands show that flags obliterate the view for most of the audience.

When I see the likes of Glasto on telly, with all those morons with giant flags totally obscuring the view for most people, I get an overwhelming desire to incinerate them. And their wretched flags too...
...Reading really is all about the music. Glastonbury seems to be more about "doing Glastonbury", with all the added 'hippy' b
ks. having just had a weekend in London with Mrs A, I'd like to nominate every single motorcycle rider anywhere vaguely in the city centre.
reving the nuts off their bikes, eg stationary at lights, accelerating at warp factor 12 just to go 100 yards, forcing their way to the front of red lights (mainly in spaces that barely exist).
I get some bike riders are poor, but I never expected to see all of them ride like such bell ends.
If any of them had gone under a car or been knocked off, genuinely it would have been their fault.
