minor things that make you fume

In my day, we didn't have a choice. It was National Service. I did mine on active service in Malaya, didn't expect any special treatment when I was demobbed (and didn't get any). I am not aware of expectations of special treatment in modern times. I know it is big in the US of A but never came across it over here?
 
There is a severe storm warning for Brisbane. There are not many weather events better than a Queensland afternoon storm. So far I have seen a bit of lightning and 3 drops of rain.

Is that the best you can do?
Ah. Brisbane and bad weather.
Brisbane was my first port of call January 1974 on my first trip as an engineer officer. Had the misfortune to experience a mighty anti cyclone that meant us being laid up for about three weeks before the weather relented allowing us to leave.
Fond memories of Aussie beer, women, and an invasion of giant frogs on board.
 
Whilst I'm on I'll get this out my system.
I've posted many time in the past of my dislike/disbelief at some of the personalised number plates on cars, but I had to do a double take at this one yesterday.
The big black 4x4 Mercedes driven by a blonde girl with dark glasses with the plates showing NAT 5Y. Personally I would have thought the DVLA would not have sanctioned that one.
 

Now that they’ve learned to use a computer comments sections on BBC and many newspapers are completely overrun by right wing gammon faced Brexiteers who have nothing better to do than sit on their sofa all day moaning at anything and everything.

Much like the arl arses that go the match and abuse our young players because they’re young and successful.

I dunno if you’ve noticed mate but 95% of the posters on here are gammons. Start a thread titled ‘political correctness gone mad’ and watch them all swarm like moths to a lamp.
 
Went for my first game of snooker of the new season today. 9 miles to the club, usually takes me about 15 minutes. Took me an hour today. Traffic gridlocked everywhere. Tried every short-cut I knew but so did everyone else. All caused by temporary traffic lights. Wasn't even rush hour, left home at 4.15 pm.

I must be missing something, what is wrong with that plate?
 

TSB froze my account because in 10 seconds I couldn't remember who I took a loan or credit card out with in 2015,eveyone in this inept bank gives me conflicting info...after keeping me on hold for 5 minutes.

Tough break getting stuck in a big cue.
