    People who write, and presumably say, 'draw' when they mean 'drawer'.

    They need to be sodomised. ...but not by me of course.

    ...and by the way, I'm in Tel Aviv at the moment so can I add Tel Aviv to the list?

    People who are so self-aggrandising they feel able to describe a capital city as trivial. :wink:

    Unless you're talking about Terry Aviv, that well known whoopsie.

    Nothing trivial about Tel Aviv - just annoying.

    People who write pointless reviews on Wiggle that are of no help to others. 'It didn't fit' or conversely 'it was a great fit' without any mention of what size they bought or what size they are. Or the classic ... It looks ok but I haven't tried it yet ???

    Recipe books/celebrity chefs telling me to "transfer" the food into the dish/oven/saucepan.

    The verb "put" is quite adequate in these situations.

    No just on the pisss. Working in Haifa nw so I thought I'd have a dose of hedonism. Can't afford it though. Why do they need tin hats........

    Ah yes, reviews.

    I like the ones for stuff in Argos and the like. I always look at the lowest score ones to see if something's ok or not. If the '1 star' comments go something like "dunt work took it back innit", you know you can safely ignore them because they are written by imbeciles. :D

    I bought a cool box that can be plugged into a 12v socket. One review said it was rubbish because it warmed stuff up rather than chilling it. All other reviews were positive.
    The description said it could be used to chill stuff or it could be switched to hot to keep stuff warm. Do we think that reviewer may have had the switch in the wrong position?

    Or those that give something a minimal review because it arrived late. Here is the clue you f***wits, it's a PRODUCT review, not a delivery review.

    My other gripe lately is the lack of beermats these days in bars and restaurants, they are a rarity now. Buy a few cold drinks and the table ends up with puddles of water all over it and as you drink the base of the glass drips all over your lap. No doubt done to save money but at 4quid a pint I suggest they should be able to afford the odd napkin or bit of card :x

    Usually I nail the pub cat to the table and use it as a beer mat.

    Or you could take your own (beer nerd answer) Beer mats, not cats, obviously.

    You do wonder why some people bother, I particularly liked this one.

    People who read stuff off the Internet and think, that's a good idea I'll have some of those, they seem highly regarded...oh, wait :oops:

    OK fair cop I've never nailed a cat to the table.. I did try to nail a barmaid once but being too old, too poor,smelly, ugly fat and charmless and her being the opposite meant it was a non starter in the nailing direction.

    And for Mr Clever Dick who suggests that I take my own beer mat then - no! Someone might steal it obviously.

    Absolute Radio, in it's various forms.
    They'll say something like "Coming up next, The Rolling Stones and Nirvana"
    And then play Nirvana followed by The Rolling Stones

    Just play them in the order you announce them in, dammit

    Drivers that drive around in the winter mornings and at dusk with their lights off. What are they thinking - or not?
    They tend to be silver/grey/black cars as well

    DJs talking over the end of a song. Chris Evans played White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane, the end of the song builds into a crescendo, the ginger twat then talks over the finale to say what an epic song it is. I know! Fook off so I can hear it then.

    Quite possibly showing your age there. (Me too for acknowledging what you are talking about)
