When you are browsing on your phone and you go to push a link, just as the page you are on loads the last shitty ad and moves the whole lot just enough that you click the wrong link...

Utterly fucking raging.

The fact that every second advert on TV seems to feature a cover of a well-known song done in a supposedly winsome sotto voce fashion by a female singer backed by a slightly hesitant piono...think Tori Amos minus the acrobatic vocal wailing.

Just heard a particularly egregious example of some burd pissing all over Wonderwall.

It's cheaper to hire a shit piano player and an unknown female singer to record a song than it is to buy the original for a 30 second advert. The sole reason we end up with this constant stream of shite.

“Happy heavenly birthday” shite on social media.

Someone on my Facebook page posted earlier today, wishing their Mum a happy what-would've-been-93rd-birthday-if-she-wasn't-dead. It's received over 50 likes (none from me, obviously) so objective accomplished, I suppose.

Switching gears, you'll be excited to learn that Jerri-Lynn is going to give up fizzy drinks (including Coke) for the whole month of December. A magnificent achievement if she can stick it but of course, you knew it wouldn't be that simple, didn't you? We all have to donate money to her charitable cause because, you know...she's giving up fizzy drinks. For a whole month.

Pop-up stands in shopping centres, usually energy suppliers. All you want to do is to nip into Superdrug for a packet of Gillette razors, and you want to do it without trying to be converted to / from Scottish Power, but no, they clock you from a hundred yards. I know they’re just doing their job, but...

Nah, f**k them. Even more so the c***s that stand in the middle of the street trying to find out who your gas/electricity supplier is. Even after you take the widest berth possible away from them, they still cut into your path and bother you. In my line of work, I’m usually out and about with vulnerable people, and the amount of times they’ve repeatedly cut into our path to ask the same shite they asked us when we walked past/away from them the first time is nonsense. Even if they notice that the client I’m with is getting distressed from the hassle and interruption, they get bent out of shape if I sternly tell them that I’m not interested and that I’m currently working. Wankers.

When you open a new toothpaste, to find it is one that has one of those tiny wee tinfoil seals across the tube opening. Those wee fcukers never pick off easily. Never. 

Check the top of the lid- they often have a sharp point to cave in the pesky foil a la tomato purée tubes.

Earlier this year, a particularly egregious clipboard p***k repeatedly hung around outside our shop, no matter how many times he was politely asked to f**k off. They absolutely kill passing trade, as everybody's just desperate to get past them. He finally approached one of the local nutters, who took a couple of minutes out of his day to loudly excoriate the guy's life choices, personally and professionally. You'd better believe we had the popcorn out.

Yes, I thought this was universally known, same as the ring pull on a can of coke,fanta, irn bru that the little hole is where you place your straw. Makes me seeth when I see a loose straw in a can...

That man is an idiot, bet his "best friend" is a dog.

This is petty, but does irritate me. As a golfer of fifty years standing, when, and why, did Scots start referring to golf courses as ‘tracks’? Every conversation between other golfers I overhear these days... ‘Played Cawder last week, great track’... WTF? In all my years, that sort of conversation would have been ‘Played Cawder last week, great course’... or ‘great layout’, never, ever, would any golf course be referred to as a ‘track’.... ‘was at the British Grand Prix last week, aye, Silverstone. Great track’.

When did all this ‘track’ shite start? Around the same time as Scottish blokes suddenly started giving it ‘mate’ every two seconds in a conversation? Aye mate, sure mate, see you at six mate, aye, same old, same old mate...’

Checked my toothpaste. No ‘seal breaker’ prong on it. Must stop buying cheap shite from Home Bargains. Got a tube of tomato puree with a prong cap though. Will either make lasagne tonight, or start brushing my teeth with tomato puree. Choices, choices.
