minor things that make you fume

[gonetomorrow]

Mate, worse for me is the “distressing” of perfectly good furniture. Making stuff look old while scuffing, gouging and damaging edges. Bafoonery at it finest.

Or these new Persian carpets that look like they've been on the floor of a works canteen for ten years.

Artisan too.

‘Hand crafted’. Fk off.

It`s the same knob jockeys who fall for it, that dine in places, that serve over priced food on a slate and beer in a jam jar.

" All our food is locally sourced and prepared fresh on the premises ".

Which translates into :

"The lad who washes the dishes, walked down to the local Iceland, came back with some frozen crap, took the wrappers off it all and then chef cooked it

Tube of superglue and phone in pocket = bad combo.
Now literally glued to my phone.

True story. At the height of the Nouveau Cuisine fad, my tit of a brother took me and the missus out, to show off basically, to some fancy place.

There were 4 of us, the veg came out in the daft little dishes, and there were 3 bits of caulie. What was the actual point?

Have a look at the taster menu at L`Enclume in Cartmel, Cumbria and then have a look at the price. ( 2 Michelin Stars ).

Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon went there when they did " the Trip ", they must`ve mentioned the price and portion size at least a dozen times during the programme !

If it doesnt come with chips it can koff

 

[PITA]

Any novel, film or TV programme with the words 'Good Karma' in the title.

For me 'enlightenment' was an Everton home win, 8 pints of Higson's bitter, sausage chips and gravy, and last bus back to Walton from town.

I trust that the missing ‘onions’ was merely an oversight on your part.

When you're in a slow moving queue in a supermarket and the person in front of you, when you finally reach the checkout takes an age to find their card to pay when they had a bloody age to have the thing ready whilst in the queue.

I must add this more often than not involves two things, women and handbags.

Another annoyance is the people who pull their trolley behind them when they are emptying it onto the conveyor and have someone with them doing the packing. This means that you can't get near to the conveyor to empty your own trolley until they've finished and have started looking for their card to pay. Push the trolley in front of you idiot!

Another one....
Hand finished.
I remember when that meant something completely different.

Parking on a pavement
