Sports commentators that say, "well technically it was a .........", foul/freekick/penalty/forward pass/offside....etc.
Betting adverts and more that continue to say......"blah blah blah is FUN"....
When the fun stops... STOP!Betting adverts and more that continue to say......"blah blah blah is FUN"....
Good advice; works' sweepstakes and small money card games, when I can be arsed, rarely, give money to bookies? 'koff.
The fact that at Stevenage station they apparently need these signs (apologies for slight blurring and orientation (bloody iPhone)):
The fact they think they need the signs doesn't give me a warm feeling about the calibre of the train drivers.

My wifes inability to load a dishwasher properly
This kack handed technique managed to stop both spray bars from rotating, so another cycle was needed. Not to mention poor use of space, cups turned the wrong way so they collect dirty water etcs etcs
Doesn't matter how many times Ive mentioned that the bars need to spin, honestly I might as well be speaking in Russian.

Yes, my wife is exactly like this! This kack handed technique managed to stop both spray bars from rotating, so another cycle was needed. Not to mention poor use of space, cups turned the wrong way so they collect dirty water etcs etcs

She also doesn't understand the difference between a clean and dirty dishwasher, and that in the morning, it will be clean from me putting it on before I go to bed, so if she needs a teaspoon or mug or whatever, there will be a clean one in the dishwasher rather than having to improvise and use something else like my travel mug which I then have to wash up again before I can use it to go to work... grrr.

I notice that you had pasta for lunch and that you have a baby/toddler, and I like bullseye style bowls.
But otherwise poorly loaded.

No idea what was eaten at lunch, this was the devastation I came home to after work!I also found out later in the evening that she put one of my t-shirts in the tumble dryer, it is now probably going to be too small for my 5 year old to fit in it.
Is there a return centre for wives?
The bloody CSA wasting f
king money - again !
New legislation means all existing cases have to be replaced, with a deadline sometime in 2018.
Anyone sensible would realise that any existing cases which would expire before then due to the child turning 18 could just be left to die a natural death.
Not the fkwits in charge of the CSA though - they are happy to piss away taxpayers money on sending numerous letters and wasting everyone's time to transfer such cases to new arrangements

my cleaner (oops, did I say that) washes the dishes first then loads it badly......
At least you can sack a cleaner, or explain to her what she's doing wrong.Neither are possible with the wife.
I was going to ask "the question" in the near future, but thinking about it now ?.......pay a cleaner, pay for the odd dinner out, youtube for those lonely nights in = mega save, thanks
People on trains (and planes) who can't just stand up/sit down without grabbing the seat in front, putting all their weight on it then catapulting the person in the seat forwards when they let go and slump down. How do they manage at home?
Also, people who let their toddler run up and down a train carriage screaming its head off for over an hour while they just chat to their mate, oblivious.
Actually, train journeys.
In fact, people.

Footwear manufacturers who use fancy, specific, consumable elements in their shoes but provide no OEM aftermarket supply.
So when the laces snap, for example, you're left with the full Timpson range:
"Flat or round, mate?"
I bought some walking boots last year - £175 - which have a fancy, removal insole. Smart-thinking me, I call up the retailer as soon as they arrive wanting to order additional sets of insoles (as the boots themselves will outlive me). They made some enquiries and... whaddayaknow... the manufacturer doesn't sell the insoles separately.

I was once one of those people on a long-haul flight. Had no idea I was doing it until probably a year later when my mate decided to tell me I was doing it and really pissing off the person in front. Honestly, don't even remember doing it. Needless to say I never did it since
, but Scarpa boots are very good IMO and they'll send you a new insole gratis if you ring them.

Anyway, my rant today is about automatic soap dispensers in the gents. I suspect they have them in the ladies too, but I haven't ventured in to find out.
Why do we need them to be automatic/no touch/sensor activated? I'm getting soap out of the dispenser to clean my hands, so why does it matter, if the surface of the soap dispenser is a bit grimy itself? I'm just about to rub my hands into a lovely lather of "Autumn Breeze" or "Mountain Fresh" or "Lilac Sunset" with all their anti-bacterial benefits, so why are you limiting me to one crappy squirt of foam/liquid/gel each time, and prevent me from easily taking the 3 or 4 squirts I deem necessary for my bear-like man hands?
Talk about creating a gap in the market that wasn't needed!
If you're lucky, you'll then find you're in one of those toilets where the taps only let water out if you're pressing on the top of them. As soon as you remove your hand - to put it under the flow of water - it stops. And of course, there are no plugs so you can't simply fill the basin with water.Why do we need them to be automatic/no touch/sensor activated?
