minor things that make you fume

[ClausThomsen]

English people.
Now while I am not English myself I am not one of those people who inherently dislike the English, I do dislike a certain type of English person.
I am on holiday in Peurto Pollensa at the moment along with hundreds of very nice English people, we have met some lovely families. However today at the beach a crowd arrived, they were English and sounded Bristrol or south western. Firstly they arranged the sun beds so that they filled up the gaps between themselves and adjoining people. One of them was within 12 inches of me. Two or three of them sat about 30 yards away so that they had to shout to each other. They then opened a cool box, beers and ciders were passed around. One of the men stated that he had too much to drink the night before and wanted to keep himself right so was only going the drink cider.
At this point I said to Mrs Caolam that we needed to move but she was unusually more tolerant than myself and said to stay put.
One of them turned on the music on his phone and gave us the Eagles greatest hits, he frequently joined in. Following that we started on the Bee Gees, I thought that might tip Mrs Caolam over the edge but she said "No" it was too much trouble to go to the vendor of the sun beds to ask for a change. Then on of the women in the group asked if the beer was running through anyone else, a second woman yes and off they went for a piss in the sea were we were swimming. Mrs Caolam moved.
I know I am conversing with people who are generally English but there is a archetypical English person who is disliked throughout the world, today I met them.
Now while some may be moved to defend the indefensible by pointing out short comings in other races today was the last day of my holiday and I ran across the people from Shamless.
English people make me fume, or a certain type of Englisherson.

Hate that type of arrogant behaviour and it's certainly a trait among a large number of fellow English people. Some just don't understand the difference between public and private behaviour and wear their boorishness as a badge of pride.

Watching the US Open women’s final, and they keep showing Serena Williams’ husband every goddamn shot. He is NOT f’ing playing FFS.

People talking in the pictures (cinema). Absolute kopite behaviour.

Actually it was her coach but my point still stands.

New shirt, and those irritating spare buttons they attach.

Itches like hell, and you just have to cut them out.

..or the button down collars designed so the button isn’t visible. It’s really difficult to get them in the hole on the inside of the collar.

I bought a couple of slim fit shirts a while ago. Not a good idea unless I'm going to lose a few pounds.

...that’s either brave or optimistic. I’ve never been able to get slim fit jeans/trousers over my thighs!! As you get older bits of you wobble going up the stairs that never used to wobble.

Classical music is wonderful.

But posh people trying to be 'zany' is just cringe making.

Remember as a kid watching it every year with my parents, and there was always this same bloke near the front, in a suit and with NHS specs, conducting the orchestra. Air guitar for classical music I guess!

He is probably dead now.

Yes I remember him well. Made you proud to be British.

Was way too young to know squat about all that back then, just remember that bloke for some reason. Havnt watched it for years.

From the same era, we always watched the annual Horse of the Year show, (think thats what it was called), indoor show jumping basically, and some military thing where the Army and the Navy had a race to transport a cannon across the arena and then set it up.

Elf and safety have done for both I guess.

I think we must be of similar ages. My bottom half seems to be getting smaller ( well most of it) and my top half is getting bigger.
