My idea of Hell itself is doing the whole airport procedure nonsense twice to buy the "privilege" of being treated like cattle for hours only to lay idle on some second rate foreign beach backed by fugly tower blocks drinking and eating myself into accelerated morbidity at some all-inclusive concentration camp.
There are other places to explore that for overseas holidays... Swiss Alps, French countryside, go sailing in the Med, etcV8mate said:

The clink clink clink of someone chasing the last vestiges of cereal around a bowl.
That's up there with drinking the remaining milk direct from the bowl.The first time I saw this was in France, my spoon and I looked at each other in shock and confusion.
Some muttering ensued about heathens being stuck in a timeline before cutlery.
Unlike us super modern civilised Brits in the 1980s who could use a spoon for solids and fluids.
Apologies for a lack of polish girlfriends and irrelevant scene setting.
I know my post is not up to the normal standards for Gallic topics.
They did this milky coffee in a bowl on Camping Houx, people would hold the bowl in two hands and drink it.

Covid-19 profiteering really annoys me. The facemasks I bought from Costco work out at around 28p each. Yet the Shell garage where I just gassed up is selling them for £5.99 for a pack of 4 (ie. £1.50 each). That's just immoral.
You'll be telling me they charge nearly £3 for a cup of coffee out fo a vending machine next.Clockwork Cupcake said:

Hang on, aren't you one of the people here who usually get annoyed by Americanisms creeping in to the common parlance? Has Cuppy been kidnapped and replaced with an imposter? RizzoTheRat said:

Adverts or similar that feature a realistic sound of a telephone ringing. The current one that's annoying me is a company called Hi-Hi. I really really don't know why they do this - yes it does make you remember the company name and product, but definitely not in a good way. For me, all they've done is added themselves to my personal list of companies that I will NEVER deal with, recommend or buy from.
I'm having a pint in the pub, rare since lockdown, and they have their usual Porter on, perfectly served at ambient, and also a craft Porter with praline and coffee, which is what I've got, but they've absolutely ruined it by chilling it to sub zero! A Porter is the last beer in the world to chill! I'm actually sat here f
king fuming about it 
. I'm having words when I go for a refill. A Porter should be warm and soft and unctuous and velvety and smooth and malty and chocolatey and coffee like and smooth with whatever extra flavourings like orange or nuts or plum coming through. But these tts have frozen it and it's just a tasteless harsh metallic mess. It's improving as it warms up, but ffs! The last time I came across this fkwittery was in a trendy up itself bar in Tenby and the Porter was in a bottle from the freezer, it even said on the label to serve at 13 degrees. I asked the tts to give it 30 seconds in the microwave.

It really shouldn't be.It was a word that Nigella Lawson took, abused and in then became mostly misused in the English language.
