Stupid little things that bug you

In McDonalds with my lad and this bellend hands me a lukewarm coffee that had obviously been sat there waiting for hours.

I made him get me another one, and the replacement one was even worse. Unfortunately, I was too British to ask for another
 
The amount of restaurants that don't serve regular coke anymore. I personally don't like the taste of diet coke or coke zero, and sometimes I just need a regular coke. I include city in this, you can't get one at the etihad.

I can't find a rack of pork ribs anywhere. Even my local butcher gets everything basically prepared somewhere else. I can't get a full brisket either, i mean come on. I ordered a brisket from the butcher and it came as just the flat with no fatcap rolled and tied just as you get in an asda lets say. I even said i just want the primal cut, no trimming, ill do all that but apparently that is to much to ask.

Ribs are seemingly all cut into individual ribs everywhere i have looked, moggies, asda, tesco, waitrose, coop, everywhere. Am i just looking at the wrong shops or something? If they are in a full rack then they are already vacuum sealed and cooked with a glaze already on the damn things. I feel like everyone is laughing behind my back here hiding them.

I just bought a new smoker and want to give this big bugger a first use worthy of the damn thing. Well i am calling Hazeldines and Norbury farms butchers who are a 2min walk from my old mums back in the Grove tomorrow to see if they can sort me out.

Rant over!

Regards,
A man in pork rib poverty

My lads been a butcher for the last 20 years, I’ll speak to him later and find out what’s going on if you let me know what it is exactly what you’re looking for .

Im am going to a few today mate to see whats what. I can probably sort the ribs but a full untouched brisket (fat cap on) is like rocking horse shit. So if you have time to ask about that i would be eternally grateful sir.

No worries mate and let me know how you get on.
For what it’s worth (as I may be stating the obvious) but going from previous conversations with my lad, anything they can trim off and sell separately making a bit more profit they will do, literally nothing goes to waste anymore, which may account for you struggling to find what you want, good luck though.
 
Targeted advertising on social media. The latest one I'm getting is for t-shirts that hide your belly. Whilst I know I'm no Adonis, I have lost a bit of weight & belly fat over the last couple of years through exercise, which to me is a much better solution than trying to hide it!

The amount of union flags upside down

Out on my bike today and I reckon perhaps half were in "Distress" mode. If I know the people, I will usually point out their mistake though one or two deny there's any difference.
Even my daughter had her works flag upside down. I pointed out the reasons why and now she has become a "Flag Zealot". She's texting or emailing me every time she sees a "wrong 'un", often berating the miscreant for their lack of awareness!

I had a Union Jack with MCFC on it many, many years ago, that was apparently upside side.

I didn’t do it deliberately but I’m glad it was, just for the amusement of the number of people it annoyed.

Have you tried Aldi or Lidl, they always have brisket. We always have a couple in the freezer, great in the slow cooker.

An inverted flag was often used to signal distress. Perhaps many years ago, when City were in the 3rd, it may have been appropriate!

If I was coming up with a sign to let people know I was in distress, I reckon I could come up with something a bit more obvious than that.

It would often be flown from castles under siege or naval vessels in a fleet. Not so much hung from a bedroom window when City lose (used to lose).
 
That band The Lottery Winners...... Going to get the number one album although they are boring to listen to, boring to watch live and the singer is such a pompous mouthy git, in which when they supported Shed Seven once, he spent as much time telling unfunny smutty jokes as much as playing songs (one of which was about sharing his underwear with the female bassist). Never thought they would take off after that support slot, just stay a band playing big venues as a support act and headline the toilet circuit only.

Let's reform Oasis, get the Stone Roses back at Heaton Park and make Manchester's music scene great again. A lot from this great city has been missing musically these past few years, with only past glories to celebrate, while five minutes of fame indie bands come and go.

Wow.... that was quite lengthy for a minor thing!.
