Things that piss you off Page 1,618

I watch several programmes on BBC3 but I get really pissed off by their announcers - both on and off screen.

There's a special-needs bloke who gives the 60 second news and I can't understand a word he mumbles.

There's a couple of "girls" on there too in the same slot (!) who seem so bouncey and cheery especially when they're reporting on migrants dying plus another woman - obviously middle-aged - who sounds so OTT and "cool" - or thinks she does,

There's an amazing announcer on channel 4, I think, with tourettes. I love her.

Luckily her tourettes is shouting BISCUITS! Not swearing.

What time is she usually on?!

"Thundercats!"

My bastard swollen hip that's keeping me awake and grumpy Angry

I've only heard her late at night.

People who use side lights.
What are they saying?
'I can't see you' or 'You can't see me'
In both cases totally piss useless.

If they're that worried, they should buy a brightly coloured car.
Not one in the many shades of 'tarmac' that seems to be around at the moment.
Thos new 'blue' lights can f**k off as well.

I don't think people have a choice on this as on a lot of cars this is a non-option now, started by Volvo some 30 years ago.

Not that I am for or agin it.

Aye they used to say that even after you put an old Volvo through the Crusher it still showed lights on the corners of the metal cube.

I still madly flash my headlights at Volvo drivers during daylight hours.
You'd think after 37 years I'd tire of it.....

So it's you! I keep waving back but you never respond. :(

Saabs and Volvos lights turn on automatically when you turn on the engine - at least some models because they have long periods of darkness in the Winter. You have no way of turning them off.

This week, so far:

- My youngest and formerly beloved black and white cat defecated on my bed
- A close family member went into care
- The outgoing live-in carer tried to intimidate us into granting her various things in the the flat
- I got turned down for *another* post

On the positive side:

- I'm going to B&Q tomorrow
- I've rented 'Dirty Rotten Scoundrels'
- I've made it my life's ambition to watch every single episode of 'Murder, She Wrote' on DVD
