Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...


Recommended Posts

An advert popped up for a Campagnola derailleur gear with the slogan "built before roads"

1) Early Bicycles started around 1800 or so

2) Derailleur gears were invented in the late 1800s

3) The Romans were building road 2000 years ago

Therefore Campagnola's slogan is factually wrong.

I've been Mr Logic, thank you for reading.

Drove past the pub Platform 8 in Inverness last night and they've got the Christmas tree up and decorations.  Utter gimps.

I've got no issue with putting up a Christmas tree beyond the traditional season during a Scottish winter. It's dark by about 4 o'clock already FFS so anything that helps people stave off SAD is fine with me tbh.

On the other hand any sort of holiday decorations in a pub are wrong. You may choose to decorate your own house for Christmas: a pub does not need to put up some ridiculous, two bob tat on the walls to show that it's Christmas/Halloween/God knows what else. It serves the same role in any self-respecting pub as a coffee machine, which is to say none at all.

My girlfriend was round last night and so was my flatmate’s girlfriend (Extended household rules ftw). Usually we find spending time with that couple to be a very pleasant experience, but she referred to the local chippy as a “chipper”. Is she officially OFTW?

Great lass. Tell your flatmate to marry her while he can.

Stenny fans celebrating beating City, the rotters
Its come to my attention on another forum I use that some people (not local to me but still....) are setting off fireworks in celebrations of Joe Bidens election win.

Any such people should have their remaining fireworks tied to their naked body and lit.

In asda tonight, adverts playing over the tannoy system for the 5-10 minutes i was in there. Have no idea why this annoyed me, i tend to notice the background noise of the tannoy in there, but it doesn’t register but tonight it just seemed to bug me.

M&S are doing a Christmas gin with gold flakes, why the f**k is this a good idea?

Why do people think it's a great idea to shit gold? Unless you believe in unicorns that is.

Goldschlager has already been cornering this market for decades M8. It's just a visual gimmick that adds next to zero cost to the product. 

Yeah but the gold flakes cause small cuts and the alcohol gets into your bloodstream quicker 🙄

I remember about 10 years ago pulling one out of a shot my pal gave me and asked him how this flake would allegedly cut my throat and his response was “well it must do or they wouldn’t say it.”

It's supposed to make you feel decadent, like you're living the life of the rich and famous.

Y'know, before you head back to your miserable job at the turd tasting factory, earning potato money working for some of the worst people alive.

Merry Christmas.
