Stupid little things that bug you

BBC shows on Britbox. We already paid for them once.
BBC iPlayer:
Their idea of HD is only 720p they don’t show anything in 1080p.
They only keep programmes on the platform for a short amount of time, so you can’t watch it again in the future if you fancy it.
They don’t allow YouTube/Dailymotion/Vimeo to have BBC content on there despite iPlayer sacking it off after 28 days so, unless you’ve recorded it, you’d be lucky to ever find it again.
 
Paper reviewers, talking heads, pepole on discussion panels and just about anyone else on TV who begins an answer to a question with "I mean" or the variants "Yeah I mean" and "So I mean". Totally meaninigless and superfluous.
 
Well now I come to think about it, the same rule applies doesn't it? - I'd like some acknowledgement for either! - I thank you!
Fair enough, for one you get a friendly wave the other a burst of laughter. If you get the wave when in your raincoat, you're in.
 
Behind our bungalow is farmland and the local rec.

What gets on my nerves is every Saturday and Sunday we get lots of cars driving down our cue de sac, thinking it's the road to the rec. They than turn round out side our bungalow.

The turning they want is 20 yards passed our turning but they always take ours

I’d put a home made sign up at the end of the road saying

IT’S THE NEXT ONE…
 
I like it when the “morning” people say “morning” to each other in passing when there aren’t many people around.

There are obviously too many people out during the day to say hello to, you’d be saying hello to someone every three strides (although when out on country walks, people will say hello to each other in passing).

But I don’t like it that the “evening” people don’t say “evening” to each other in passing when there aren’t many people around. They don’t say “evening” to anywhere near the degree that the “morning” people say “morning”, to the point where very few people actually say “evening” to each other.

I say “morning” and “evening” but mostly only get “morning”s back.

Ha. The wife went for a walk yesterday. Got down the end of the rd. and ran into some bloke. She nodded and smiled at him and he looked at her all weird. She said, how are ya? and he says, "I don't care".

So she keeps going. A few minutes later she's about to pass another bloke, walking with a coffee and a clipboard and she's says, "afternoon". He tells her to fuck off and don't you fucking talk to me bitch.

I wish she would have taken her phone with her. By the time she got back he was nowhere to be seen.
I spent the rest of the day waiting for him to knock on the door trying to sell me some shit.

My first job was in a hospital and everyone you passed would say morning! It's something that has stuck with me, if it's early I greet everyone.

I especially love saying it to the miserable looking gits with their heads down who obviously don't want to be mythered.

Being happy (or pretending to be happy) around miserable sods is one of life's little joys.
