    TV channels that disappear when it's high pressure. Why can I get German television but not British, I'm in East Yorkshire for f**ks sake.
    Happens here in Hampshire with the radio too. Goddam this Third World Shithole we live in...

    I can imagine Boris Johnson tomorrow..'Vote leave and we can keep those foreign channels out of our airwaves!' :roll:

    Paying a £75 renewal fee for signing a new tenancy agreement. It's about 2 minutes' work for the letting agents. F**king parasites.

    You could get a whole house in Scotland for 75 quid.

    Come to the West coast of Scotland from October onwards, then you'll know 'wind and rain'.

    Usually I'd agree with you, although this past weekend was *slightly* more than usual for us... 300+ mm rain in under 48 hours, king tides, and 60 - 100 km/h winds made for quite a mess.. all the way from the Gold Coast to Tasmania.

    That bloody awful version of "Ruby Tuesday" which I think is by Melanie, (but I thought was Joan Baez)

    It's Ruby Tuesday NOT Rubay Tuesday. Neither the rhyming or the meter makes any sense.


    The older I get, the better I was.

    Can we conclude that New Zealand is a trivial thing that annoys you and Wheelspinner?

    Auto renewal of car insurance, more specifically the slightly underhand way they go about it. I enquired about cancelling the insurance in my name for the Mini and was told I would get no refund, so when the time came to cancel I didn't bother so I'd get the year's no claims bonus. I was sent an email with an 'invitation' to renew. Now I admit I should have read the small print which said I may not have to do anything, but as it was only an invitation I ignored it. Got my renewal through today and they've charged me more than double the basic insurance as they've also added personal injury, breakdown and legal expenses which I didn't even have on the original policy. All sorted now and refund done at least, just a minor irritation. Also the hold message telling me there may be a 'short' wait, over 6 minutes holding before getting to a person is not a short wait.

    Amazon not letting you filter results by number of reviews. It's pointless scrolling through pages of 5 star reviews made by one person.

    People who turn up at public consultations and think their mate who spent five minutes on Google know more about a subject than professionals with umpteen years of experience. What's the point in asking questions when all you want to do is argue with what you're told?

    Cant speak for Wheelspinner but New Zealand is a great place to live, at least for me.

    Any ad where someone is pretending to be a member of the public. The most recent being Asda radio ads with James Martin giving recipe advice to 'members of the public' supposedly ringing in. The fact that James Martin is involved makes it even more annoying!

    Having a water pistol fight in the bathroom with my son. Him using the bath water to reload and me the sink. Great fun until I realise he's had an accident in the bath and I'm being sprayed with poo water.

    Restaurant waiting staff who don't wait, and proceed to clear dishes while someone at the table is still eating. :x

    Old people who go on about how the drink driving laws have killed off rural pubs as though it would be better to have drunk motorists travelling our country lanes at night rather than losing a few businesses that can't sustain themselves.
