Loud motorbikes. Obviously the 2 stroke screamers the 15 year old go about on but also the ludicrously loud Harleys driven by middle aged company directors.

Also, "blipping" the throttle.

If it won't idle, it's broken. Go and get it fixed. It's not big, clever or impressive to hear you revving it every 2.2 seconds.

It's either that or a spasm from your wker's wrist.

My very first post was about this. (not the self abuse bit.) and I got a lot of grief, from bikers presumably. As if it is their right to wait at the lights or at a junction or just rolling along in neutral, blipping away oblivious to the annoyance of those others in the vicinity.

Stupid IT tts that think their 'change' is of benefit.

No it isn't.

You've fked up Google maps to the point where it is unusable.

Our 'help' desk at work.

I raised a ticket to say I couldn't get into a particular self-help portal using the provided login and password, as I'd like to adjust some settings.

Helpdesk helpfully removes the first (and somewhat vital) part of the statement, and pass what's left on to a technician who tells me that if I just log into the self-help portal, he can show me how to change the settings.

The sight of dog walkers standing patiently at the side of the grassy area outside my flat, poly bag in hand, waiting to pick up another warm, freshly squeezed dog turd. Cringeworthy.

What is the alternative? People like dogs and we all have to live with them. I shudder at your lack of perspective.

Better that than the dog owners who let their canine chums st anywhere they want and then just stroll on and leave it.

That is an odd thing to say. I mean - isn't perspective subjective? If it is then he has perspective...it's just not the same as yours. Probably millions with a different perspective from yours. That's a big shudder. *shudders*

Agree. Humans as slaves to canine bowel movements. It's a strange act to witness. Doesn't seem right somehow. But not cleaning it up is worse.

She very successfully covered one of his tracks (>108M views on YouTube).

Apart from that, you tell me.

Only after we have wiped out pet dogs which are the killers of all human babies and toddlers.

Am I doing this right?

Successfully covered = wheeled her in front of a microphone, stuck a lyric sheet in front of her, said "sing this" and millions of cloth-eared nincompoops bought it.

Couldn't the Beeb get hold of Julie Driscoll?

If only the owners would pick their (the cats!) turds up from my back garden.

I'm tempted to post them back as I know where they live now

'Make you feel my love', from the 'Time out of Mind' album.

An achingly beautiful and emotional rendition of this, one of the new Nobel prize winners finest love songs.

Of the hundreds of Dylan covers this has got to be well placed in the top ten. ( number one 'All along the Watchtower, by Jimi Hendrix.)

As a further tribute to Dylan this song on Adele's album was the same track number, seven, and lasted, to the split second the timing of the original.

Superbly suited to Adele's vocal style, this track is and will remain, a classic cover.

I have the horrible feeling that you're being serious. Can't fault you on the Hendrix comment however.

I'm annoyed beyond reason that the chargeable carrier bag regime has led to a collapse in the level of customer service.

Obviously, in supermarkets, we've always packed our own bags, but in department stores, clothes shops, bookshops etc, bags (theirs) would always be packed for you.

Now, you bring along you rown bags, and the lazy s just push your goods across the counter at you. Even for significant purchases they don't even *offer* to pack them into your bag.
