Re: Things that annoy you!

I have mentioned this before but when presenters on TV don,,'t look directly at the camera when they are talking to us. Also, when they show a home movie with the word 'record' flashing in the corner. 'Record' only appears when recording, not playing.

Mixing up the twelve hour and 24 hour clock. For example: 05:30pm. Surely it should be either 5.30pm or 17:30.

Re: Things that annoy you!

This one is probably a bit niche. The gear levers on some bikes are: Push one lever with the thumb to change up a gear and pull the other lever with the finger to change down. That's OK if you have one bike and get well used to it.

If there is another bike, the change up/change down arrangement can be the other way around on it. Push with the thumb to change down etc.

Going from one bike to the other can leave a rider in a state of not knowing what gear the bike is in. Thumbs and fingers clicking away like mad until the chain bites on the cogs.

Why can't the gear levers on all bikes be made to work the same way?!

People who get more freebies than they deserve and still moan while hard working folk in this country get **** all.

Something should be done about cats too! two of my neighbours cats decided to have a fight, on the bonnet of my Landrover, it is now covered in deep scratches that will cost £300 to repair, yet their attitude is 'well what can you do?' and don't even get me started on them crapping in my garden, that too is fine apparently! I wonder how they would feel if I started letting my large German Shepherd crap in their garden, no doubt that would be wrong!

I agree totally with this, however I have to remind you that you cannot use the term 'in spades' as it has racist overtones, now that has really pee'd you off hasn't it. lol
Seriously I know how you feel though, how come the police don't have the manpower to prevent them damaging statues and public property, but when people turn up to protect that property the police suddenly have the manpower, it's a joke.
