Having to listen to the outpouring of grief of Louis Tomlinson's Mum passing away...  Don't get me wrong, leukaemia is a disgusting decease and I wouldn't wish it on anybody, but she because she was followed by a load of daft tweenies it takes over Twitter and even gets mentioned on the News At Ten.  I can imagine plenty of mothers pass away like this every year, leaving behind families without a millionaire son to take care of those she leaves behind but where's their eulogies from ITN???  Celebrity culture going too far...

Absolutely everything annoys me about the DET; the instrusive ads, the clickbait headlines, the poor qulaty of the journalism, reporting social media opinion as news, the constantly negative one sided articles (essentially clickbait dressed up as news), the comments from the same five miserable, right wing, ignorant posters who make the same comments on everything, the anti-derby view they take on everything, the ads (again), the lack of context or explanation they put into stories, the fact they don't own a thesaurus for the words 'angered' and 'outraged' (although, to be fair, Derbiens don't need an excuse to moan)... the whole thing is one huge travesty. I hate it.

Stupid f**kin click-bait as on the DET saying that Harrison Foard/Michael Jordan/Mel Gibson has given up on his so,n or you wouldn't believe what Richard Hammond/Macauley Culkin/Paris Hilton's net worth is!!!  Surely they don't pay the DET to have their spam filled/virus ridden sites advertised on there so why ar they thee?!?!?!?!?

Agreed - I hate those things so much, only clickbait robot on twitter can make it better!
 

Emulsioning a ceiling with the same colour that was there previously and not being able to see the bits I've done. I try and use reflection off the ceiling light but the bloody paint dries so quickly it becomes impossible and some parts get 3 or 4 coats whilst others just the one so it ends up being patchy. 
Any company which comes up with paint that is significantly different in the 'wet' state compared with when it's dried off will get my business, small though that might be.
Yes I know you can get white emulsion which comes out of the tin pink but I'm colour blind so that's not a great help. But the missus isn't colour blind so I can't use, say, a very pale grey and call it white!!!

Sunday morning Tour De France wannabes who insist of sitting three abreast of each other so you have to sit behind their day-glo, lycra clad arses for a mile while they practice their slip streaming.  Utter tossers!!!

Along with @MuespachRam I can see both sides of the argument cus I used to bike to work regularly and I never had any arguments with drivers or other cyclists.  But that's mainly because I didn't extract the urine and stuck closely to the curb and used cycle lanes/paths when I could.  Within reason I'd always prefer to commute to work on a bike instead of a car as it keeps me fit, but even if I were to go out at the weekends for ride I wouldn't be an arse about it...

Even more annoying is when you kindly point out this transgression they get all defensive and abusive and staggeringly they fail to understand your (perfectly reasonable ) point of view!
I wonder what cyclists think when it's them driving the car and they get idiots cycling three abreast.
Sometimes it's only the one cyclist but instead of hugging the roadside he's halfway across the bleedin' road! How stupid are these people?!!
Fact. Of all the cyclists I have politely commented to during my motoring escapades, I have not yet encountered one who responds in a civil manner. They all gave me abuse and hand gestures. All of them.
Rudest, most selfish people on the planet.
One day I might just get out of my car and give one a serious pasting. For now though I try and chill and just ignore them. They aren't worth the hassle.

Very sensibly (or not !) and being an upstanding sort of bloke I did as the police advised and took them to the police station ( or "enquiry centre" as they now seem to be called.) .. I now learn that the 100 or so blue tablets are designed to help gentlemen with a problem in the nooky department and were worth a fiver each .. Which as you say would probably cover the boiler repair .. Dang it why am I so proper ! 

Pawn the tablets to pay for the boiler/dishwasher...
