    People with slow burning fuses. When the balance is finally tipped they can go ballistic over something that on the surface looks very minor and it give as true wtf moment.

    Abso-bloody-lutely. Bloody Dan and Louise who can't say anything without attempting to be funny and cool, and then spend their time giggling like 12 year olds. I almost can't bear the TV on when its that particular dream team. Naga is no better. Charlie Stayt and Rachel Burdon are the only ones who come over as professional.

    There's your answer. Annoyance avoided.

    Ticket resale sites. Viagogo in particular, the way they create ‘fake’ urgency for tickets being resold at ridiculous prices. They put you in a fake waiting room and tell you they’re ‘securing your tickets’ and that you’re in a queue and tickets are very popular.

    No I’m not and no they aren’t. They’ve been sitting there for months at that ridiculousy over inflated price.

    Does anybody actually fall for that sort of crap? I haven’t bought anything of them I was just looking at tickets in there earlier and it annoyed me.

    Being repeatedly beaten to the punchline on these forums recently. I need to up my game.
     
  8. Bargain Hunt. The stupidest idea for a programme ever. 2 pairs of amateurs go round antique shops, buying stuff to sell at auctions attended by, basically, antique shop owners. And hoping to make a profit!

    Disagree. It keeps the fogies off the street which allows everyone else to get to where they need to go quicker.

    Those printed plastic bags they post through your door that you're supposed to put old clothes in "for charity".

    We know you're not giving the money to charity you suckers. We know you're in it for yourselves and that's why there's so many variations on the scam.

    And how about being a bit more charitable to the environment by not wasting unrecyclable plastic to such a degree?

    I have over 30 of them in my 'bags bag'. At least I don't have to pay for bin liners for at least a year because I use them to bag up my 'unrecyclables'.

    ...but replaced by the even greater annoyance of not now knowing the weather, cricket score, news headlines etc and having to actively search these out, hence the "almost can't bear.." I end up watching but swearing constantly at them which just makes me feel better.

    Perhaps you could use the audio description service. Does that get rid of these muppets?

    Hummous, specifically that hummous which has been opened, then kept in the fridge and turns a bit rank with water condensing in it. This is not nice hummous, this is evil hummous.

    Not eating it isn’t enough as it’s also rank to dispose of.

    Hummous?! Do you take prawn sandwiches to games?! ;)

    Hummus is great. Its the cement that holds all those nice Mediterranean (that right ? I can never spell it) bits and pieces together, olives, chunks of feta, sundried tomatoes, peppers with cheese in the centre, and stops them falling off your fork. Its more a tool rather than a food. Tzatziki is just not up to the task....too runny !
    I think you just need to revisit your fridge stock management/stock rotation and purchasing processes. You need JIT stock management for hummus.

    I’m partial to a bit of hummous now and then, but it’s like catnip to Mrs Moose.

    The ladies love it. Forget chocolates, if I was dating now I’d take it with me, first date.

    Love prawns too.

    When hummous turns evil it is truly evil though. I’d be grateful if someone could let Mrs Moose know that it is possible to throw it out.

    The fact that I find myself increasingly thinking how crap the music is that my kids listen to, and therefore realise that I am officially becoming old. For example, Drake. I'm sorry, but really? Music is crap and lyrics are even worse. Here is a taster of his latest "masterpiece", God's Plan:
    "Bad things
    It's a lot of bad things
    That they wishin' and wishin' and wishin' and wishin'
    They wishin' on me
    Yuh, ay, ay
    She say, "Do you love me?" I tell her, "Only partly"
    I only love my bed and my momma, I'm sorry"
    And this has been top of the charts for about a zillion weeks - WTF?

    You think you're old, HH. Drake to me means this guy:

    Or more credibly (and musically), this one:

    Not quite sure how to quote from multiple posts.

    You obviously have no appreciation for how bad these kids have got it. All the best lyrics and melodies were taken by previous generations.

    Last one. Ha ha, made me laugh. I’ve started using that word partly because I like throwing old fashioned phases around but also my dog understands what dinner is and expects food when he hears it. He hasn’t yet sussed supper!

    Also he is using that weird autocorrect auto tune with his singing as he can’t sing.
    The lyrics are bad as you say.
    I suspect it’s successful as he is famous for some reason

    When was the last time a new & radical genre of music grabbed the yoof and altered the course of musical history, considered 'dangerous' even? Punk? Rap? Everything since then has been either derivative or a million different versions of bland. I think they've run out of new ideas because it's all been done now. Plenty of good bands around today, but nothing original.

    Drake - perfect example of today's dross - doesn't frighten parents, just puzzles them. 'What is this crap? indeed!

    btw. Ed Sheeran. Epitomises 'bland' yet he sold out 3 nights at Wembley. Pay to see a busker in the middle distance? A busker on the underground is more likely to get my money. But most of them are crap as well, and drown out the 'proper music' I'm playing through my earphones.
