Marketing claptrap, like this:

Ridiculous, stupid unnecessarily fast modern cars, usually driven by someone barely 20. Blasted away like the start of a btcc race at EVERY set of traffic lights with massive crackle's from the exhaust.
For eg, Audi RS3, 0-60 in just over 4 seconds. Supercar speed in a small family car, why the f*cking need?
Because it's f*cking awesome mainly.
They annoy me if they are chavy however...
Hayden's post exactly.
Because it's bloody good fun.
I don't need my 170 mph 0-60 in 3.5 seconds motorbike but it's bloody hilarious.Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

Hmmm...our American friends would call oven-roasted 'broiled' and they would mainly be right, as roasting is, I think, properly done over an open fire.turkeytickler wrote:Pross wrote:Pretentious culinary terms and, in particular, the use of unnecessary words e.g. sea bass instead of bass (in the UK we don't get freshwater bass and the sea fish is known just as a bass), pan fried (to be all frying is done in a pan other than deep frying which would be called 'deep fried') and the worst of the lot 'oven roasted'.

When you are driving on a lane, a car comes the other way, you slow down into a wider part so the oncoming car can pass and then that car doesn't speed up to get past you but just continues at a dordling pace so you have to wait.
It really winds me up, if you see someone pull over for you you speed up to get past them quickly so they aren't inconvenienced by having to wait for you when they've already done you a favour.0 -

How many restaurants cook food over an open fire though?0 -

Yep, had loads of that in the lanes of Devon last week. It's not like they need to be wary of oncoming vehicles!0 -
The lady (who is very nice BTW) in the yogurt adverts who is always surprised to find that what she's eating is "FAT FREE!"
They've been going some time now, over several different products, you'd think it would no longer be such a shock.

That or when you stop at a wider section and they stop where there isn't really space and sit there. Or when they drive straight past a passing place and then pull to the side on a really narrow section, or refuse to reverse when they are closest to a passing place.
Luckily my truck must look intimidating (as long as I don't have to get out of it with my step ladder) so most of the time I get to watch an exciting display of reversing 20m0 -
Probably hypocritical, especially with my form in this thread...
People who always find something to complain about.
Mother-in-law and her partner will find fault in almost everything. I try everything in my power to avoid going out for lunch with them as they always spoil it - complaining dinner wasn't hot enough, missing was something, coffee wasn't quite right etc etc etc. ALWAYS. It's f*cking draining to be around.0 -

You just enter the pub/restaurant with a bad atmosphere around you.
This is how bad they are: they complained about the music the DJ at our wedding last year was playing. He had based his choices (which were f*cking ace btw) on what we told him we liked - and everyone else was loving it. Wife tore a strip off the pair of them as he was just about to go up and moan.
I feel bad at times for the wife as I cannot stand either of them, but they really don't help themselves.0 -
So top of the mileage rankings for out club on strava for the week. Everybody done and dusted for the week so basking in my own glory. One of my (ex) mates despite having done his sunday ride decides to do a 10 miler on zwift at 9 pm and goes ahead of me by 2 miles. So why do I find this so annoying? Should I get a life? Should I have dragged out my turbo and done 2.1 miles at 11.45? Why does it matter?0

Left handed people. "Look at me using my left hand". Knobs! They can't be arsed to get off their arse and learn how to use thier proper hand. Left handed people should be locked up until they can be arsed to write right right handed. Knobs!

Do I need to go on? Although I think I'm right that that it's unlikely to change your bitterness and disappointment at being left out.0 -

Professional football. The skill of modern players is undeniable but the game is ruined by endemic fouling, abuse of officials, and too much money. We are also saturated with coverage of this festival of cheating on TV and radio. It's got it's own dedicated channels and yet it finds it's way into every news bulletin, every local news bulletin and then every sports round up at the end of every news bulletin. F*ck off football some of us don't care!!0

^ Yes it's sh1t, played by people who who can't be arsed to use their hands. Stupid coloured boots, hair and a menagerie of naff tattoos.0

Tattoos, people who have them just look thick with trying too hard. Lazer remove it if you have one, arsehole!0

Me! I hate people like me who make other people feel bad about themselves! WTF it's got to do with me!
I'm getting " WTF it's got to do with me" tattooed on my forehead! I'm typing this with my left hand while kicking a ball down a cat walk!0 -
