Drivers who dawdle along in front of me on the open roads on my commute then continue at the same 40-45 through the couple of 30 limits.0

Oh yes.
Possibly the same ones who at night drive at 30 through unlit 60 zones but then immediately speed up when they hit the 30 zone, because the lights are on and they can see again.

What? You mean they adjust their speed to suit visibility? Outrageous.0 -

Err... he did say:
"...immediately speed up when they hit the 30 zone,...". I think the implication was that they exceed the speed limit but hey, that's just me.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -
The current fad for foreign beers, be it Moretti, San Miguel, Peroni or whatever. We produce a myriad of beers covering the entire spectrum of taste in this country so try some. Do people go to the supermarket on return from holiday and buy some foreign beer in the hope that it will rekindle the spirit of their week in Lloret?
And what is it with Budweiser? You may as well go into the kitchen and get a glass of water from the tap for all the taste it's got. Oh, sorry, not a glass. You would have to put it into a bottle to drink it.

I've been interested in real ales for many years, but there's nothing wrong with Budweiser, I find that it's refreshing, you may not like it; fine.
I'll add some trivial things that annoy me to this thread:
Coffee bores: ~They know their coffee and like to tell you how you should take it, even if you don't like it.
Real ale bores: ~ Pretty much as above.0 -
Refreshing? Yes, just like a glass of cold water from the tap really.0
-
Yes, all the people who drink it and enjoy are wrong, and you are right. You should go tell them, perhaps stand at the bar in your aran sweater and beard and appeal to them

I don't drink beer, but surely this argument ^^^ could be applied to fast food as well. Lots of people like McDonald's, therefore it isn't crap.0
-
I know which I prefer of those two.
Bad bar staff. Ordered a pint of Sambrooks Pumphouse last night, saw the barman pour a pint of Grandstand. I don't mind Grandstand so I drank it as I couldn't be arsed to complain. But he really should be paying attention, which he clearly wasn't.0 -

Agree with you there, however he may be a "real ale bore" but I don't think he really knows what he is talking about. Unless he has jumped in a time machine I doubt very much that the current "fad" is for foreign beers. Locally produced micro-brews continue to be on the rise. Big name international brands continue to dominate the market due to their links to the breweries who own the pubs and cheap deals in supermarkets but you don't have to look far to find a pub that has some form of local ale available. If you are a beer bore and you find yourself down South I recommend the Wave Maiden in Southsea. However there was one English Ale that got passed round the table so we could all have a taste because it was that awful!“Jij bent niet van suiker gemaakt”0 -

Sorry, but no. To see the flaw in this argument, apply it Jedwood or Kanye West

Pretty sure that's been going on for at least the last decade - as long as I've been drinking beer anyway.
I've seen the opposite if you look at smaller brewers because there's a big push for locally produced everything at the moment (hipsters). Depends where you drink I guess.0 -

Some will follow the crowd, some will seek out to be different. You can attach this scenario to almost anything.0 -

My aran sweater is invaluable now that I have to go stand outside with my pipe due to the smoking ban.
When my kids were babies, they drank from bottles with teats. They progressed to drinking from a bottle through a straw. Finally they managed the feat of drinking from a glass. Did they miss an evolutionary step, drinking straight from the bottle?0 -

Does slurping spillage from the bar top count as an evolutionary step?0 -

Lager is fine, I'll drink a bottle now and again but wouldn't walk down the road to drink a pint.“Give a man a fish and feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and feed him for a lifetime. Teach a man to cycle and he will realize fishing is stupid and boring”

Anyone remember "Saxon" a lager produced by Youngs in the 70's. Rumour had it that they made it taste so awful that people would try a pint of ordinary or Special in preference.Rose Xeon CDX 3100, Ultegra Di2 disc (nice weather)

The above sort of links to my current pet hate. Describing anything that is made in a smaller scale as 'craft' or 'artisan' and then charging over the odds.
Also the current spate of 'maths tests' on social media that allow people to demonstrate their complete lack of understanding of one of the most basic mathematical principles - order of operation. Someone will give the correct answer together with a simple explanation but you'll still get thousands of people who get it wrong.0 -

The fact that people can't see it's simple click bait to get traffic to the site so they can sell advertising, or worse. They are easy to make the fools feel good about themselves and then spread the word. If they were difficult the simpletons wouldn't share.Pross wrote:Also the current spate of 'maths tests' on social media that allow people to demonstrate their complete lack of understanding of one of the most basic mathematical principles - order of operation.
