BBC Disk Jockeys who talk over the music being played, speak with strange nasal voices, laugh, loudly at their own rubbish jokes.And they have to have their names mentioned, by some staff member, every few minutes.
e.g. "Steve Wrong in the afternoon", and such like.
And many of them seem to be called "Ball"!

It is delightful to let go, on occasion!

Re: Things that annoy you!
All this crap that is going on at the moment, the BLM mob run around en-masse and nothing is said about them increasing the risk of a spike in covid, a group of football fans gather in Liverpool and the government are screaming that their actions will cause a spike and spread the disease!We wrongly get a load of white people meeting up on beaches and the police are everywhere issuing tickets and moving them on, large groups of blacks decide to have illegal raves at various point around the country and the police do nothing!
The BLM mob moan that blacks are more at risk from covid because they are deprived, perhaps if they followed the rules like everyone else they wouldn't get the virus, but no, they think rules don't apply to them, and while I'm at it, if black lives matter so much how come they haven't been out kicking off when several blacks were killed by other blacks, there's been nothing said on that! Or is the truth more like the fact that they only crawl out of the woodwork when a white person is invoved and they can start screaming racism!

My experience is with power electronics where reliability is mandatory.
