Fuck me. Red sauce on a bacon sandwich is absolute sacrilege. Brown sauce fine, in fact to be encouraged. But get the ketchup away ffs.

WTF! Nothing should go in a boiled egg other than salt, a spoon or a some buttered bread.

This. You'd have to be an imbecile to put red sauce in a bacon (or sausage) sandwich. Mental.

Sausage sandwich - brown sauce 

Bacon Sandwich - ketchup 

Full English - neither 

Steak - mustard 

Yep, I don't understand why either. 

Why can't you get French Mustard in France?

And millionaire company owners who think having to pay staff a minimum wage stops them being able to run a viable business. Tough, go to the wall you are a failure and not entrepreneurial enough to be successful

talking of which when did filming your hotel room and sending it round to everyone become a thing? Two of our friends are on holiday in different places at the moment and both sets of them have done it and set it to us on whatsapp. I dont give a fuck what your room looks like, dont go on holiday to stay in the room FFS.

Reminds me of the late nights I used to spend typesetting my weekly Rooms & Recipes newsletter. Then race out to the post office, to get to to my eager mailing list.

Glad it wasn’t just me. Crap product too.

Another of mine is when adults refer to midweek as ‘School Nights’. If you’re a parent of school-age kids, possible more excusable.

This hilarious bantz of lads, lads, lads on stag dos making the stag wear the shirt of their teams rivals. It was mildly amusing the first time it was done 25 years ago but the 12474738352423 times since with everyone loling of their genius humour to stitch up the stag in such an original way it’s very tiresome now

Ben and Jerry's ice cream - not the product itself as that is delicious, but the fact that it only has two states, harder than concrete and liquid.  Very annoying.

I heard someone talking about getting their dog a muzzle-refreshing blueberry facial...

I know on this day of all days we're not allowed to even suggest that some members of the public are gullible and easily-led into unwise decisions, but in the long history of mongrels, when has a dog ever needed a blueberry facial?

Beans for sale.

I’ve seen videos pop up on social media of animal chiropractors. The benefits of chiropractors are anecdotal at best but convincing yourself to part with hard earned cash to allow one to ‘adjust’ your cat is absolute lunacy.

Good chiropractor's can work miracles. No reason why they can't adjust an animal and get them fixed up.

Absolute Radio's insistence that every guitar based song recorded in the 90's is Britpop. The term Britpop sets my teeth on edge as it is without that cockwomble Dave Berry trying to tell me The Charlatans and Stone Roses are Britpop.

The imbeciles that respond to car collision videos on social media who clearly have never read the highway code, or used their eyes and brain in conjunction with eachother.

The grunting in the tennis is so annoying. It was proven years ago that it’s not needed and doesn’t add anything to the performance of the players.

I think it's only fair that the receivers should be  allowed a grunt too. Maybe even a loud scream now and again.

Stupid idea. Charging for luggage trolleys likewise.

I recently came back through Gatwick and the trolleys at baggage reclaim all needed a coin to release them. You get your coin back afterwards but who the he'll has a pocket pull of coins these days when they come back from abroad? There were plenty of trolleys but only about two were being used.

Nah, I love that... the maximum joy comes from keeping your elbows as wide and prominent as possible when clattering through them.... always helps having a large heavy rucksack on one arm too...

'Literally' being shoehorned into every argument or statement. This morning I heard some young chaps having a chat about the middle east (very on trend) and a number of times I heard 'they are literally dropping bombs' or they are 'like literally killing kids'.
