Stupid little things that bug you

This is a football related but why are free kicks and throw ins just allowed to be taken from wherever the player bloody well feels like it and not where the offence actually took place

Whilst on a roll.. refs who want their 5 minutes of fame by stopping the game at corners to lecture players on pushing or shoving. Let the game flow and give a free kick or penalty

This pisses my wife off more than me because on a weekly basis I must shout to her, can you come and have a look at this and expecting to be shown something important or interesting she rushes in, looks at my screen and hears me say…. “ do I need to do something about this” for a subscription we cancelled years ago.

I went in a supermarket today where they were doing beer for a quid. It turned out it was 3.4%
I mean, what is the point in drinking that?

So I bought some Hob Goblin IPA ......
it was dearer.........
And yes you fucking guessed it.... 3.4%

Note to self, read the bloody can.

Hob Goblin do 2 IPAs - the 3.4 is a session IPA and the standard is around 5%. Confusing

I detest all the adverts that ask for £x per month for water aid, donkeys, RSPCA, bears etc etc etc. I invariably turn over or mute the sound. I'm also bored shitless by the never ending stream of people wanting me to pay for my cremation/funeral while I'm still here. What heppens if they go bust?

I'm with you on this, especially that sactimonious twat doing the begging for Water Aid....tell your little misguided African friend who has to walk 8 miles in the searing heat, to tell his parents to move nearer the water supply. It's not rocket science. Enjoy your new Merc though.

Correct. That’s why every major city in the world has developed next to a river.

People who when they've made the overtaking manoeurve, indicated to move back in.....where else are you going to go that needs you to tell the driver behind that you are going to resume driving on the correct side of the road.

Try telling the person being overtaken to move to the correct road position in the first place (assuming this is motorway related). The amount of middle lane hoggers is ridiculous

Plenty of major cities not on rivers. Denver, Mexico City, Madrid, Birmingham, Johannesburg etc etc.

A quick google show that all the cities you mention are very close to rivers/ have rivers flowing through them. They were needed to support transport of goods as well as for drinking water. As canal , rail systems and road systems were developed then the smaller cities expanded. `

Not true. For example, Brum built a canal network bigger than that of Venice. I wonder why. What river flows through Joberg?
The original claim was that every major city was developed ON a river, not with some stream a few miles away!

The Platte River starts as two tributaries high in the Rocky Mountains, one of which flows down across Colorado (through the city of Denver), the other through Wyoming, to finally meet in Nebraska.
The Jukskei River is one of the largest rivers in Johannesburg, South Africa. It is the southernmost river in the Crocodile River basin.
The Manzanares is a river in the centre of the Iberian Peninsula, which flows from the Sierra de Guadarrama, passes through Madrid, and eventually empties ...
The River Rea (pronounced "ray") is a small river which passes through Birmingham, England. It is the river on which Birmingham was founded by the Beorma tribe
Initially called Anahuac by the Aztecs – meaning 'close or next to water' – the Mexico City valley boasted 45 rivers running down from the mountains into various bodies of water, creating a vibrant ecosystem of marshes and wetlands.

Aztecs in Brum, wow!
The Jukskie might be the largest river in Joburg which just proves my point. It is a rocky stream far too shallow for transportation or much else. Google a pic of it.
