Isn’t that you watching the news on exam results day?

Small things in life that annoy you:

- Needing a dump just after a shower.

- Hitting every red light going into Southampton city centre making what should be a twenty minute journey (for me) nearly an hour.

- Tipping in restaurants.

- My wife’s obsession with going to the same holiday destination year after year.

After the excitement of getting down to the stadium for the first game of the season and the result being shitty.

Lights were a mess all over Soton yesterday. Took me 20 minutes to go from Jury's Inn, past the civic centre down past the train station as the lights seemed whack.

Bags on gym floors. Use a locker. 

People hogging gym equipment while watching their phones. Use the equipment. 

Cheap brown sauce in cafes. Just no excuse. 

People that don't know who's right of way it is at roundabouts. Sort it out. 

People who don't pick up their dogs shit. Peasants. 

That's this mornings annoyance covered. Well, most of it.

This I can understand though. I've heard so many stories of people having stuff robbed from gym lockers over the years. By coincidence, only yesterday I was chatting to a guy in the changing room who told me he once had his car nicked from the gym car park after someone had taken the key from his locker, presumably using a master key.

Pure gym makes you take your own padlock - presumably to mitigate for similar happening.

David Lloyd is the same. I've only heard of a few examples of lockers being broken into in the 30 or so years I've been a gym regular.
