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.

Daft bint on the Argos ad prattling on about 'Haitch-D TV's'.

People (for example in the public eye...Jeff Stelling, Radio 5's football commentator John Murray and the odious Nicholas Witchell) pronouncing the word 'years' as 'yurrs'.

Knowing I'll never hear Blowers commentating on TMS again. This one doesn't feel like a 'little thing' to be honest, just a subjective judgement, but not helped by imagining the above felons pronouncing his name as 'Blurrrs', to be honest.

The Smart Motorway rebuild on the M3. Probably the thick end of 6 years and hundreds of millions, probably billions to implement. Utter waste of resources. Variable speed limit gantries alone would have improved matters considerably. Removing the hard shoulder was an utter waste of time and will achieve very little - other than giving you nowhere to stop when you break down. Just means there is now 4 lanes of traffic for BMWs to carve past when they want to exit, rather than 3.

The fact they have reduced Jaffa Cakes from 12 to 10 in a pack, sure it used to be 13. New packaging with less food in it for the same price! I blame all the fatties out there for this (even though I know it is the price of cocoa that has risen which has resulted in the smaller/less bars!)

The Mrs booked us a holiday back in May for October. The price from her started at £300, then doubled to £600 a week or 2 later. Paid my half thought nothing more of it. Lo and behold tonight with everything needing to be paid off Thursday tells me she has ****ed it and it was £1200 per person. Now this stupid **** is trying to find £1200 to pay the ****ing thing off. She's got the hump cause I lost my temper and asked her whu she didn't just tell me how much it was from the off, the full price is even listed on the poxy screen to pay! Not far off telling her to shove the holiday up her aris.
