When you meet a new coworker for the first time and they give you the ick for no reason. You just know that every time you see them from now on, you'll be thinking 'where'd you bury the bodies man, im onto you'

Even during cycling coverage on ITV4… which you think attract a different audience to the channel, it's those same ads!

I’m going to have to learn my 75 times tables . The number round on Countdown does my head in 😡

I'm forever complaining about homeowners who let bushes and trees grow out of hand so that they take up half the footpath outside their houses. But for fcuk's sake, was it really necessary to cut them back to the property line right at the height of nesting season??? Two people near me have done this in the past week 🤬🤬🤬

Butbutbutbutbut... doesn't it look nice and neat and clean (i.e. bare and "massacred" to death), now?

And shur, birds fly away, what's your problem?

🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Calling them idiots would be paying them a compliment.

What annoys me is people on 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown picking two large numbers, thinking that makes it easier. It doesn't!!

One large number to get you to the vicinity of the answer, and then you've an extra number to use to complete the surgical strike. Two large means more ways of getting to the bigger number (and wasting time) but fewer ways of being exact with your final answer.

Not that I've ever thought about it much…

On a bus journey earlier where a guy watched some tripe on his phone without using headphones. Aaaargh.

I’m pretty sure today’s Chase is a repeat . There’s a Limerick woman on and I think I remember her name . Irish spelling of Barbra

Highly unlikely they are actually from Google and you really shouldn't be clicking on links in emails like that.

the amount of ads for death plans, cremations, funerals and associated cover is ridiculous…. They usually have some older person featured who has a really fake delighted expression akin to… “ ohhh isn’t this nice, I really can’t wait to be dead now “…..

Kingslayer

They always use 'when I go I don't want any fuss' on those death ads. Such an english attitude.

cj maxx

Yeah , when I go I want a band , and plenty of drink at my wake . I’ve worked and paid and raised the little eejits so I want a send off !

99% of fresh fruit and veg comes in some kind of plastic wrapping these days which is bad enough, but the one thing I would like to see wrapped is not, sits there with just a little rubber band around the bunch. Spring onions/ scallions might taste good but they are stinky smelly things that leave everything else in the shopping with a faint smell of onion. TA'd that they are one of the few things not packaged but should be 😬

We are almost in june and I am freezing my arse off.

Men who button their (tie-less/casual) shirts all the way to the top.

It looks like their mammy dressed them.

Trying to figure out which bastards to vote for.

Just seems to be grey old men, people I've never heard of and possible/actual fascists.

There should be a summary (not written by themselves) of what they've done to deserve a vote to help me decide.

just vote for whoever you think is most attractive.

CrowdedHouse

I wont be around on election day and it's slightly annoying me, you should be able to get a postal vote by request.

Looking at work schedule, only got it yesterday, I won't be able to get to vote either. So guess I can pass on the electoral beauty contest.

Obviously by people not voting for whoever they think is most attractive. Hence the suggestion above!

I read a quote, recently (can't remember by whom it was), that said that the problem with choosing the better of two evils is that you're still choosing evil.
