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.

Getting up at 4.45am to see the bloody Super Wolf Blood Moon only for it to be hidden by clouds .

Cheered up when I saw the photo that someone had sent in to the BBC this morning though , a circular piece of pepperoni or some such cured sausage . :)

That thing that they do on Match of the Day...

When the camera cuts away to a member of the public in the crowd, and the commentator has to make some particularly "hilarious" comment.

You know...

Cut to man in the crowd, stifling a yawn.

"Not keeping you awake are we sir ?.."

That sort of thing.... Headbanger Image

Poe-leese? Pleese? I thought it was pronounced pigs!

Martin Tyler saying "...And it's live!" before the start of every game he commentates on for Sky.
Dunno why, just gets on my nerves.

Oh yeah, mentioning Martin Tyler....

He has started to do that strange little "Motty laugh"

I'm sure it comes with old age.... :)

I saw 2 minutes of an 8 Out Of 10 Cats programme yesterday. Jimmy Carr was doing a loud, sycophantic laugh every time one of the other people said anything vaguely funny. I had to switch it off immediately.

My arris at the moment.

A bit like the Pinky's piles thread I am out of work at the moment with the shingles ( worst pain I have ever had in my life ), and I don't know if it is all the tablets I am on or what but two days ago developed the trots big time. My ****hole is red raw but the good bit was I used Pinky's tip of using water wipes , you know the baby wipe thingys and they are a great help.

Now the little thing that irritates me bit:

I left the packet of wet wipes in the cupboard right next to the toilet in the kazi. So during the 15 to 20 :P visits the routine was the same and finishing with the soothing cool wet wipes. That is until an hour ago when my missus was doing her thing ( cleaning and tidying etc... ) and when I reached for the wet wipes .....no they weren't gone, I grabbed a sheet and wiped waiting for the cool soothing moment.

She had been cleaning the bathroom with a packet of these multi-surface bleach wipes and when finished had placed them in the same cupboard on top of my wet wipes.

The screams could be heard in space.

My son saw me appearing out of the door head first and said I resembled a badger with his ****hole on fire.

Talk about look before you leap. :shock:

The bloke's a bellend and symptomatic of all that is wrong with modern football coverage. Everytime I hear his voice I'm reminded of him ****ing himself furious when Aguerro scored the winner vs QPR in 2012, so irritating.

At least Barry Davies retired just before Ollie Gunnar came back into football.
The way he used to pronounce OG's surname, used to irritate the enamel right off of my teeth.

It might sound funny to you lot but my ring piece is so hot right now I reckon if you could look through the hubble telescope backwards you would still see it glowing. :oops:
