Little things that irritate you

Anything goes in The Snug, General Discussion's rebellious little brother. An off-topic den of iniquity where any subject not covered elsewhere may be discussed. Well, anything except golf, Star Wars and Arsenal.

Also, I know I'm getting old and grumpy but how many times does CH have to be thanked for his very useful daily update

It's just simply manners mate, If a person holds a door open for you every day would you suddenly stop saying thank you just because they have done it before?

I wasn’t involved in questioning people over CH

I live in my own little fantasy world where I think I still look 42 so imagine my disappointment the other day when I'm paying for a bow saw and mattock at B&Q the young lady at the checkout says ' Did you know we have a special discount card for the over 60s if you come shopping on a Tuesday ? ' . :)

The company online holiday system that shows all holiday balances in hours rather than days, so that you have to then work out yourself how many days you have remaining based on the 7.3 hour day that the system assumes we all work (I wish).

I think I'm going to sell mine and revert to one car. This is a complete waste of money.

Britain's Best Home Cook, I've only seen a few minutes a couple of times. "We want you to cook a meal that reflects your personality" wtf does that actually mean?
And Claudia Winkleman, apart from doing a passable impression of Morticia Adamms, what skill does she possess?

Decided to drive to work today. Took me an hour and a quarter to drive 7 miles home today. I’ve run it quicker than that. When I was tired.

Raheem Sterling; and the commentators that constantly blow smoke up his a**e.

What a relief when he was substituted.
