Stupid little things that bug you

Can't stand that On the Beach advert and they horrible overweight family in it. The song sticks in your head horribly and that is what they are doing it for, using irritating tactics so you use them to book a holiday.

It's very British to use annoying gimmicks to flog something to the public and i am not falling for it. Whenever I go abroad and see adverts on TV, not one of them does this, I find them entertaining.

The Dean Martin or Ol' Blue Eyes song (one of the "Rat Pack" anyway) in the advert is originally a Christmas song, which makes it all the more annoying, especially the backing singers going "holidays!, holidays!".

When the advert ends and goes "On the Beach!", I always say "fuck off". Advert breaks are one of my biggest pet hates.

I only ever liked the Tango adverts and that Thinkbox one with the "F-R-I-E-N-D-S!, do you really need them?... Yes!" Song.

Can’t listen to commercial radio either. Some prick with an exaggerated local accent shouting at me every 10 minutes? No thanks.

It’s that Bolton fella who does the advert who starts off sounding like he’s swearing by saying ”Bucking blah blah”, therefore, implying he is swearing by saying the “F” word, then goes through the rest of the advert by pronouncing booking, as booooking, or book as booook. He and the advert are plain stupid.

If it's the one with that fat family who trash the all inclusive buffet then run onto the beach and destroy the peace and quiet of the other holiday makers......I wouldn't book with them on principle.

The papers and people like vine have been slagging harry and megs to get gullible people to read , watch and phone in spewing hatred , they are earning so much money they will never stop even if they discovered the cure for cancer

Kate has just buried her husband , the longest person to have long covid and the most damaged so she is in the news this week, back to work today , will be old news next week
 
It always bugs me how when I watch the news and there's an item about the royal family they always go by satellite to some posh fucker in London (usually a woman) with an upper class accent who obviously went to some public school like Eton or Harrow. They always have a suntan even in January.
Like they're the only people good enough to report on things royal.
I don't know anyone who actually talks like that and I really don't want to listen to some snobby woman who's had everything handed to her on a plate thanks.
 
My Mrs at traffic lights. Gear in neutral, handbrake on, hands off the steering wheel, feet off the pedals. Waits untill the light has turned to green, foot on clutch, into first, handbrake off, steady as she goes. Half the time she gets a gentle peeping of the horn from the car behind. After 57 years on this planet she aint gonna change so I keep my mouth shut but FUCK ME!

I'll see your Mrs at lights and I'll raise her mine on a country lane. Many a time she's been reduced to tears by the sight of a big green tractor bearing down on her full of sheep or spuds and let me tell you, no farmer in christendom is reversing that for a woman in a car. The problem is, my Mrs can't reverse.....I bite my lip, say fuck all and await the outcome.
