Seemingly trivial things that annoy you

So the definition is in the link I gave, so you don't need to ask, you can just read it.
This indicator looks at adult education level as defined by the highest level of education completed by the 25-64 year-old population. There are three levels: below upper-secondary, upper secondary and tertiary education. Upper secondary education typically follows completion of lower secondary schooling. Lower secondary education completes provision of basic education, usually in a more subject-oriented way and with more specialised teachers. The indicator is measured as a percentage of same age population; for tertiary and upper secondary, data are also broken down by gender.

I read it. It just says when upper secondary education occurs, and that it usually focuses more on specific subjects. That's all it says.

Sonthe answer to my question, for the purposes of those data, seems to be no.

Seems unlikely that variance between countries is that large. Perhaps comparable to the variance between different exam boards in a given country.

"There are around 3 applicants for every 1 apprenticeship in the UK."
Meh. 400 showed up for the aptitude test for the apprenticeship I got. There was 32 vacancies. 3 applicants per position sounds exceedingly thin.
The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

Worth pointing out that some people apply for more than one position.
You would also fully expect more people to meet the criteria for an unqualified entry level position than for something more senior, because the only people who are really qualified are over qualified.

Yeahbut nobody gets an apprenticeship at a senior level. 🤔

Starting to eat my main course without having got a glass of Côtes du Rhône ready already (especially given the current bottle was only 3.80€ and is a Paris concours gold-medal-winner). I'm such a beginner.
Incidentally, when did 'appellation contrôlée' become 'appellation d'origine protégée'? Passed me by...

Alright Frexiter. Just part of the EU wide version. Equivalent of Italian DOCG.
tbh I think the eu does that stuff really well

My last 2 trips to France and drinking their wine has left me seriously underwhelmed. To the extent I was buying Italian wine whilst there. However we were invited to dinner at a mates who’s lived over there for 34 years, so Mrs W bought an expensive for us bottle of Saint Emilion which she was so impressed with she’s had a case of it delivered. I have yet to try it as I was driving on said night.

Some halfwit thought to locate a platform floodlight directly above the high level information screens.

I'm a bit of a sucker for even half-decent CdR... I've not got a refined palate, and CdR seems to be vaguely reliable glugging wine. I've probably only drunk top-notch wine a few times in my life, and one of those was a St Emilion Grand Cru. That said, it's much cheaper not to have a refined palate and to be easily pleased with the local wine.

I’m more of a glugger than having refined palate but a lot French stuff seemed to be lacking in body if that’s a thing in wine🤣🤣🤷🏼♂️

Brian, it's all bollocks. Do you remember Superplonk from Tesco? Basically Tesco value blended red from the mid 90s and did well on a lot of blind testing.
Not much different from Apothic red now. Beware of Turkeys not voting for Christmas.

While perusing the wine in a supermarket straight off the flight to La Rochelle a kindly old gent gave us some advice which is explained below. Basically you are looking for a green top and the letter "R" or "Recoltant".
We found some CdR's for less than €10 with these labels which were very nice.

Well, here's tonight's superplonk. And given it's local and cost about the same as one pint of decent beer at The Bridge Inn in Topsham, I'm not going to get too fussy. Maybe CdR is the French equivalent of full-bodied Oz or Argentinian wines at my end of the price range, but it'll do nicely.

Yeah, even a 4€ CdR has bags of body, not least as they get plenty of sun. I've had some very insipid wines from elsewhere in France that cost quite a bit more.

Despite evidence that everyone I’ve shown seems very clear cut, rozzers have decided insufficient evidence and have closed the case for the person who took the back of my parked car off

Not trivial and very annoying. All you can do is be the better man.

Much more trivial than choice of wines or having one's car trashed (just torch the f-er's), slicing into my thumb while prepping veges. Not with the pointy end but the bit of the blade right by the handle. And on the same hand holding the knife. That's a first for me.

Proper knife skill that is. And added colour to whatever you were cooking.

Getting stung twice under my jersey in the space of seconds... first one smacked into me near my collar bone and stung immediately, which was followed by a rapid "Ow!" and a squelching of whatever it was. Seconds later, another bite/sting further down in the jersey, again followed by a rapid squelching and unzipping of jersey (on the move) in case there were any more critters down there. There weren't, but double ouch.

I once got a wasp fly in through the visor of my motorbike helmet and get stuck.
Would not recommend.

Nah, any tighter and breathing in would be tricky, but I'd unzipped a bit to cool down. Bzzzzzz-bam! Serves me right for breaking some clothing code, no doubt.
