Re: Little things that irritate you
Have you seen the caterpillars on the bushes you do the topiary with ? If, as is most common, they are box , or similar, and especially,though not exclusively, if they are containerised, the most common pest to cause that kind of damage is vine weevil. These can decimate shrubs, especially compact/containers stuff.....fairly easy to treat inorganically by watering insecticide around the roots ( eggs laid in soil), with luck the shrub will survive and outgrow any damage.chigwells finest wrote:

Talking of burgers and buns, i can't remember what channel/show it was but I was ****ing tv channels a week or so ago and landed on some lunatic cooking beef burgers for the family which he then shoved into hot dog rolls.

Re: Little things that irritate you
It's the only foolproof way to distinguish between a 'gourmet' burger and a slab of grilled minced beef in a roll. Except that McDonalds now sell burgers in brioche, which renders that argument redundant.BalaamBoy wrote:Brioche-type buns on a burger.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt arguing in public about who owes what in maintenance for their children.
Honestly, it makes my mind boggle.

Re: Little things that irritate you
GWR and their ridiculous ticketing system and refund policy. I booked tickets but put down the wrong date, I realised my mistake straight away and managed to contact them via web chat a few minutes later. I was then informed that it would be impossible to amend the tickets and that I would have to apply for a refund and order new tickets.
So I ordered new tickets and was warned that any refund may take up to 28 days to come through, suppose I needed that money to buy the new tickets? What shoddy customer service, so they get to keep peoples money for a weeks but how much do they lose in custom?

Trying to get music onto an old iphone to plug into the car stereo for a long drive to the south of France. I'd forgotten what a filthy, crap-ridden piece of arse iTunes is.

Motorways.
Not necessarily the roads themselves but some of the drivers. Tootling down the M5 in the inside lane, passing people in the middle lane despite me only doing 60-65mph.
Pissed down on the M25 and people doing 80 or more in the outside lane (when it was moving)...I was doing about 50 cos of the conditions.

I didn't get the memo that the outside lane is now the slow, cruising lane. When'd that happen?

Do you have Spotify premium? Download songs / albums to the phone via WiFi, set Spotify to 'offline' and then you can listen to your music without needing a network connection and definitely no ITunes.DasNutNock wrote:Trying to get music onto an old iphone to plug into the car stereo for a long drive to the south of France.
