Random Annoyances

Fat, dirty, disease-ridden pigeons, shitting all over our nice town centres.

And at the seaside when I go to visit chrisB and my parents, fu(£!ng seagulls, especially this time of year when the young are hatching in the nests on the chimneys (why can't they nest on the cliffs at Bempton!) and are all evacuating huge amounts of fishy gunge that can strip the paint off your car.

Executive summaries.

Its not random, its annual.

Wow! That's more that parking in Greenwich!

People who spread margarine on toast, and then proceed to scrape the excess marg and all the toast crumbs back into the tub. Dirty buggers!

Bloody poncey nouvelle cuisine! - Three little blobs on a plate and a rat-piddle of sauce that looks like someone has run their finger through it and had a lick..................and where's the rest of my veg'?! - If I'd wanted such miniscule morsels, I would have eaten vitamin pills.

My point is when you go to the tills - waiting to pay - but you have to wait until they finish their natter about (?) before they condescend to serve you.

The American shopping experience,, at an Asda near you...

I went to an ASDA once... never again, never ever again.

There is SO much of everything to choose from i.e. 10 types of pasta sauce, 4 types of milk, a million types of everything you know you will never need. AARRGGHH!

It's Morrisons for me nowadays, much smaller and quieter...

Andrew Marr.. not random, just continuously annoying.

.. but not as bad as Jeremy Vine, surely? His fake concern, his whiney voice, oh it just drives me nuts. Oh and don't forget Robert Peston on the BBC News - hideously dull and that up and down voice of his... put all three of them in a lift and forget about the Up button...
