Stupid little things that bug you

[Grassland Blue]

I remember the days of a pump that moved from side to side with half a pint in glass attached to it....never a short measure at that time.

I remember drinking just over half a pint out of a pint glass and getting the landlord to top it up with a 'half'......

Buying a pint that isn't quite there, but is it short enough to warrant a trip with your glass back to the bar.

Do I, Don't I?

It's a dilemma.

Take it back with a bold… “you’ve just charged me £15 for this gnats piss, the least you could do is give me a full pint!!!”

I had a drinking mate who put this question to the barman whenever he ordered a pint.
"Hey, is there room for a tot of whisky in there?"
"Sure, no problem"
"Then forget the whisky and fill it with beer".

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

AI voice-overs on videos and what takes it over the edge is AI generated still images in the same videos.

Instant turn off.

AI in general. I don't see it enhancing life as much as it will detract. We don't seem to have learned our lessons from mobile phones which track us and have us enslaved. Images, videos, quotes - we don't know what's real and what's fake already and I can only see it getting worse. Then you have the weirdos on here posting AI videos of fake women looking all sexy. I honestly don't get the point of it.

I remember the days of a pump that moved from side to side with half a pint in glass attached to it....never a short measure at that time.

There was a pub near me, The Bleeding Wolf, that had those pumps. Mid 70's.

We were in there one lunchtime when the 'weights and measures' people turned up to test them, and from memory, all but one got shut down because they weren't delivering a full pint.

To be fair to the landlord at the time, he came around and topped up our glasses free of charge with the beer from the failed pumps, and there were a lot of them.

People putting material over their passenger seat head rest and cutting out shapes to represent eyes and a mouth , why ?

Leaving a family member into my house, and now he's telling me about my bills being to much. ****.

A car near me has covers over both head rests in similar vein. It frightened the life out of me when I past it first time, it looks scary.

I mainly remember those in Boddies pubs in the late 70s and early 80s.

So they can use multiple occupancy lanes even though there aren't many about.

Metrolink calling Piccadilly just "Piccadilly" rather than Piccadilly Station". It confuses tourists especially as Piccadilly Gardens is the previous stop.
