May be a dangerous line to take, but, with so many rants on this forum recently, can we start a thread for us all to get all the little things off our chest that really, really bug each of us.
I thought of this when I found Peggy had left the bathroom tap running overnight AGAIN.
Then there is the moment yesterday when I did not think my ceiling wanted painting UNTIL I painted the coving and it showed the ceiling to be very off-white.
You know, little things like that.
Keep it nice, lads and lassies, and keep it clean (like my ceiling).

Not very PC this one, but those old dears in mobility scooters (bless 'em) who insist on doing 10mph on busy pavements and supermarket isles. Someone will die one day.... :o cheers Tony

If anything, Barbelman, I find them amusing. Especially the ones who use Aldwick promenade (near Bognor Regis) as a racetrack. :o What bugs me more is motorbikes who park in parking spaces which are supposed to be for cars, and also boy racers who take me on along the Gatwick stretch - I don't mind succumbing to the odd Porsche, but it's usually a poxy little Fiat, Citroen or VW Polo.

I can't stand it when people walk about in front of you as if their in a comma ::) I end up doing a penguin walk just to make a point :D
Also can't stand it when you are looking in an isle with nobody there, then 10,000 old women come because they reckon you have found a bargain or something >:( ::) Then they start standing in front of your line of sight.
I can't stand cheats especially in Bar Billiards, really hate it if someone deliberately tries to put score up when they think your not looking, also people who deliberately miss shots.
Also can't stand my PC at the moment, it crashes every day with this mini dump rubbish, I have formatted I have tried deleting the dodgy file, yet it still comes back to haunt me, when I'm playing a game or on this forum.
Just going to take a breath :D
I can't stand it when I go to the White Swan, when everything you touch is sticky and the barmen screws in the windows so you can't open them for fresh air.
I can't stand smoking in pubs, especially when they decide to smoke a Cigar right next to me. I can't stand the smoke, also you can't open the windows.
Another thing that bugs me, is when I play rubbish and get 1200, then I get on and get a 4,000 break ::) I think it is down to consistency and nerves.
I think that covers some of the stuff. Wow this really works ;D
Cheers Fazza ;) :D

Here’s ten more (non of them bar billiards related) (1 of 10) 1. Vets and their rip-off fees: £30 a month for thyroid control tablets for my cat, and each six months a blood test and consultancy fee (extra £60) just so as they could say ‘yes he still needs to take the tablets’. You would be able to get them cheaper via the internet, but can’t do it without a prescription from the vet – so catch 22. Well he developed a cancerous lump and went in February so we haven’t got to pay any more. Good job - evil thoughts were developing in my mind about wringing his neck myself (the vet’s that is, not the cat’s). ::)

(2-5 of 10) : 2. Alfa-Romeo after-sales service. Even my letter to Quentin Willson which was published in the Sunday Mirror didn’t make them the slightest bit interested in attending to the warranty work on my 147. I got rid soon after that. 3. Banks when they make me wait more than two months before sending me a statement. 4. The mobile car wash bloke who used to come up to me every time in the multi-storey carpark and was impervious to my increasingly aggressive responses (eg “No I don’t want you to chuck a bucket of dirty water over my car for a fiver !”) 5. Any form of vandalism.

6. Big Brother on tv – mindless claptrap. I have tried, but can’t watch for anymore than five minutes before wanting to put my boot through the set. 7. EastEnders – it’s got so fecking depressing recently. Give me Emmerdale, Corrie or Neighbours any day. Or better still, Deadwood with Ian McShane ! 8. Being put on telephone hold for more than 5 minutes “Thank you for your patience, your call is important to us” my ar$e.

9. The jobsworth in the peaked cap who was onto my daughter in a flash and gave her an on-the-spot £80 fine for dropping a cigarette end in the Memorial Gardens. She’s a young mother of two who can barely afford it, and has always been a good girl up to then. 10. The greed which has come into football, started by Chelsea. The so-called richest clubs can click their fingers and buy any player they like from lesser clubs – sometimes just to sit on the sub’s bench. And quite often these clubs while appearing rich announce trading deficits of millions because the money is borrowed and they are really steeped in debt. In almost any other industry they would be declared insolvent yet they are allowed to get away with it. But the poorer clubs get deducted 10 points for going into administration. Defies all logic.
Victor Meldrew-style rant over. You’re right Pete, you do feel better after getting it off your chest. ;D

Things that really bug me are:
# Bristol Rovers # Driving in Reading # People that walk around supermarkets like zombies # mobile phones # The French # Trying to phone the bank and being put through to someone in Calcutta # The price of cider these days # The lack of wurzels being played on the radio
Thats enough for now, am starting to get all worked up!
