    Residential parking. It's becoming almost impossible to find a parking space when I go to town because every available space seems to be "residents only".

    People who are dismissive of shift workers who work weekends and have days off midweek.

    Annoys me too! Sunday morning 20mph constant wind, riding out in it bloody hellish, didn't enjoy it at all. Monday morning, nice and calm perfect cycling weather - while I'm at work :(

    And you can bet; that it's nice now when I'm stuck in the office - next week when I'm off it'll be horrid again.

    Plastics drinks bottles that are now so thin they have no structural strength whatsoever. I know they are designed to cut down on waste and with the enviroment in mind but for my sins I buy 2l bottles of sparkling water and now when you pour from them the plastic is so thin and flimsly the bottle collapses out of shape like you are holding a wet sock and can affect aim.

    Coming back on the train from london to exeter today. People who carry on their business quite loudly and continuously on their phone from the seat next door. I felt I was on job shadow and could have done the job myself. I knew the clients, the work colleagues, how the company worked and where things were filed. Unbelievable...

    That sounds like a lot of valuable information should you fancy a spot of industrial sabotage...

    The current trend of "celebrities" jumping on the Northern Soul bandwagon. We have recently had utterly cringe worthy reports on The One Show and the show by that cross dresser from Birkenhead.

    Why don't they leave it to people who understand the scene to report on it.

    It's taken most of my life to happen (I think? or have I just not noticed?) but the formerly insidious, yet now near complete replacement pronunciation of the words either: 'eye-ther' :) and neither: 'n-eye-ther' :) with "ee-ther" :cry: and "nee-ther" :cry:

    How did it come to pass I sometimes wonder?

    When people turning right do not use the entire refuge provided for that purpose, needlessly holding up traffic behind them.

    I'm sure you're right about The One Show and increased trend. But to fair to Paul O'Grady, he's been banging on about Northern Soul on the radio for years.

    People criticising the way we are bringing up our healthy, happy, friendly, intelligent and curious baby. P1ss off, we're doing a great job, look at him, you cretin. Does it look like there's anything wrong with him? No, there isn't and just because you were given a load of shite, dated 1950s advice dreamt up by somebody who evidently hated the idea of a happy baby doesn't make you an expert.

    THIS! Symptomatic of our idiotic society.

    It both drives me insane and makes me laugh. Some culprits who drink coffee 'on the go' from branded cardboard cups think its some sort of badge of honour. 'Look at me everyone, I'm too important and busy to sit down and have a coffee'.
    Some of these w4nk3rs even brandish the cups in front of them like it's the Olympic 8l00dy torch. 'Well go and put a white shiny track suit on then. You dick !'
    Or worse still they wave the cup around for all to see, whilst talking on their mobile phone.
    Its a coffee cup for f3cks sake not a Rolex watch. Tw4ts all of them.

    People who sit in the right hand land of a mile long section of dual carriageway (on the A4 near to me), preventing people from overtaking, because they're turning right at the next round about.

    IT'S A F*CKING DUAL CARRIAGEWAY, NOT A MILE LONG SLIP ROAD OR FILTER LANE YOU F*CKWITS !!!

    On the news when they cut to some reporter on the street who interviews some random passer-by for their thoughts on the story... I don't give a f**k what they think about it, just give me the facts so I can make up my own narrow minded opinion!

    I agree with this! Try driving round Milton Keynes, stupid drivers sit in the outside lane with nothing inside them across several roundabouts because they are eventually turning right somewhere, they seem incapable of being able to move to the right hand lane when they are a hundred yards or so from the turn. Prats.

    16 miles stuck behind a tractor on the a36 yesterday, not one soul tries a dodgy overtake or starts on the horn.

    Any driver spending more than 10 metres behind a cyclist and it's open season on close passes and horn testing.
