Constant "How did your Evri courier do?" emails.

He rang the doorbell, I opened the door, and he handed me the package. I don't really know what else there is to say. 

At least he got the right house.

If you got your bell rung, it would seem rude not to give 5 stars. 🙂

My Evri courier tried to deliver to a commercial address on an industrial estate. Today. On a Saturday. 

We had one knock on our door with a small parcel. "That's not for us" I pointed out. "It's for the white house up the road, but there's no answer" he replied. ( No I don't live on Pennysylvania Avenue ).

There are at least 6 white painted houses  the one the parcel was intended for is nearly 100 yards away from our house. The parcel was small enough to go in the letter box, and didn't need signing for.

If the extra revenue goes into the sport that’s in desperate need of funding I’m not against it given it’s one advert each half and no action is missed.

Agreed. And if it keeps it on terrestrial TV.

I don’t mind it, it’s so shit and ridiculous it’s mildly enjoyable. However you’d never watch it when there is an FA cup match on BBC1.

Really not impressed with the chap who just rang from Sky Assured Maintenence. He told me that the agreement on our television equipment was up for renewal, but when I asked him to list out the makes and models of the affected kit he just hung up.

The proliferation of emails at pay day/end of month telling you it’s time to treat yourself. Holland and Barrett think I have been been waiting to have the funds to buy some vitamin supplements

American reporters pronouncing 'Iranian' as "Ir-rah-nian instead of "Ir-rain-ian"

 

There was a joke on Moch the Week that went something like...

"Is it eye-ran or ih-ran ?"

"Ih-ran"

"Ah, thanks. I think Ih-ran somebody over".

I'd love to see the look on the steward's face if I tried to take one of those into SMS.

"And could it be Saints will be taken into extra time in this play off final?! 

The Ipswich striker is through... it must be... 

Oh! Spontaneous combustion! 

But wait! VAR is checking for a flamethrower in the stands! Late drama, here at Wembley..."

People who do this to themselves...

Maintaining a decent/healthy lifestyle is great, but what the hell is that?

Hasnt she been on the jabs and lost a ridiculous amount of weight? Saw her on the Brits collection the award for her dad and looked seriously ill, far, far too skinny.

Award speeches. Just get up there say a few thanks and get the fuck off, no need for a sermon, no need to try and make political points or talk about love and act  like you're some sort of philosopher.

I loved Ricky Gervais's thing when he was presenting, something like "don't lecture people, you don't live in the real world, just thank your agent, thank your God, and fuck off".

And when they say they haven’t prepared anything. Well you should, you were nominated so clearly had a chance and it should be brief

I think this is annoying in itself, before you factor in the adverts. I find their coverage poor.

But even BBC coverage isn’t the same without Bill McLaren, but it does outdo ITV.

Well enough to go to awards ceremonies

 

What the fuck does that even mean? 

Are you suggesting that anyone with any kind of mental illness should just lock themselves up at home and never go out in public? Ever?

What fucking century are you living in?

I'm not sure you have much understanding of mental health - going out doesn't make someone well.

Not sure you have much understanding about Kelly Osborne”s mental state, either

Quite clearly, if someone is severely struggling, being in a high profile public event may not be a great idea.

No, none of us do. 

Which is why it's so utterly fucking stupid to be making suggestions like she must be ok if she's going to award ceremonies.

Christ alive, calm down… this is a thread about what annoys you, not some deep dive into an unknown mental state of a public person.

i guess no one can ever comment on anyone ever in the public eye… they might be suffering after all.

SOG: Polishing antique belt buckles is a small, but annoying thing.

Forum:Are these... Nazi belt buckles?

SOG:....maybe...
