    Anyone who offers you cheese and pickle then brings out the only pickle they have and it is some odd one that they bought because they thought it sounded nice. It's not. Normal pickle would be nice thank you.

    Any hot drink with 2 sugars in it. It is the wrong amount of sugar, 1 sugar is the amount of sugar of champions.

    When you go to someone's house and the tv has the colour turned up too high, so grass looks electric green etc. Are they blind? Change the settings to look realistic, how can you live watching that?

    The endless conveyor belt of films that are complete crap, that cost millions and mostly don't even make good money. Are the people making these films actually that unaware of just how rubbish what they are making is? It is unbelievable.

    Good luck.

    Can I contradict you on point 146? Sugar in tea or coffee is a sin.

    Hmm... I don't think I can agree with you there. Although, I will say that only alternative to 1 sugar is no sugar at all and no sugar is acceptable. What is not acceptable at all is 2 sugars, that is the default setting for idiots. Anything in excess of 2 sugars does not need to be discussed.

    Like the bloke who kep turning up in the bar on my campsite every night in a Molteni jacket. I can only think he was hoping everyone would realise he was the authority on the track cycling they were watching but I think they just wondered why a middle aged man was wearing a bright orange track suit top in the pub.

    Women (or men for that matter) that carry a handbag just below the elbow with their arm sticking out to the side. The handbag is usually more suitcase sized too.

    Sounds like a prime example. Peckers the lot of them.

    I went to the Moto GP at Donnington a few years back on a horrible wet and rainy day, we drove as the weather was foul and my son was with us. During the hours spent queuing to get out of the car park I saw scores of people walking across the car park in full leathers and motorcycle boots, which are not much better than ski boots. When they got to their car they took off the leathers as they had normal clothes underneath and put some shoes on to drive home. What is wrong with these people?

    What is the point in installing CCTV if the image it produces looks more pixelated than when tv/police try to hide peoples identity?

    People who say 'on an hourly/daily/weekly etc basis', it's hourly/daily/weekly etc you don't need the basis. Also the word transportation, it's transport there's no need for the 'ation'.

    Jake Humphrey and his smug mush. Why can't that be permanently pixelated?

    Being told to look up at Olympians as role models.

    Why, because they can run, swim, cycle faster than you?
