The order that the English Football League's divisions finish. It should be Championship, then League One, then League Two. Or League Two, then League One, then Championship. It definitely should NOT be League One, then League Two, then Championship.

The twats.

Championship/League One/League Two is bobbins as well. "Here's the big conclusion to the main event, now please stick around for the guys who weren't as good".

Naturally, that's what we did.

Don't disagree, but I think in international years they've had it that way round on the basis that the teams from higher divisions are more likely to have international players need releasing so makes sense to get them finished first. There is no viable excuse for L1/L2/Championship, though.

First Bus pricing. They don't give change, so instead of £3 the price is £3.05. Who the f**k has a 5p on them? Had to put in £4. I honestly don't know how it's legal to demand exact fare and refuse to give change. 

And aye, I ken I could use my card, but the contactless doesn't work. 

Sitting here absolutely fizzing.

I’ve been using it a lot recently with contactless and didn’t realise it didn’t charge you at the time, seemed to be at least 2 weeks after that the money actually came out my account so I was sitting thinking I had 20/30 quid more in my bank than I actually did because it decided to wait and charge 2 weeks of journeys all at once.

Switched broadband supplier a couple of months ago. Was mid month so the old account was in credit. They've sent me a fucking cheque.

The f**k am I supposed to do with this apart from jump in the DeLorean and go back to the 90s to find a bank?

Simply scan it with the 'app' :)  FFS do we need to hold your hand??? :rolleyes:

"Smart" airport technology like passport and boarding card scanners.

They don't work approximately 50% of the time, leading to even more unnecessary waiting.

The worst of the lot are the fingerprint scanners in the US, invariably overseen by several seething employees shouting at everyone that they're not doing it right, before eventually accepting what they already know better than anyone, that the gear is completely unfit for purpose.

Yeah my bank definitely doesn't offer that service. If you could post the cheque to them on my behalf that would be dandy. I'll pm you the account details and my mother's maiden name.

John and Greg trying to create suspense on who they’re going to punt on masterchef when it’s clear as day who can’t cook for shit.

They could bypass a large swathe of the heats by just eliminating anyone who introduces themselves as a retired company director before they've had a chance to make an offensive looking roast dinner

Stay on after your stop, that'll teach them.

Your contactless or theirs? 

If it's the latter, get on. They can't refuse you.

For somebody that was moaning about a cheque being 'behind the times', you (or more accurately, your bank) seem a little behind the times. Even I have an app ;)

Businesses that do not have a telephone number on their website. Or those that only have links to social media accounts and no actual website.

Definitely this. Also websites that make finding the contact details like a game of Adventure Call.
