minor things that make you fume

I have a theory about that. In Merica, they get proper storms, like Carolina, that are actually serious.

In the UK, we generally dont. But the young pups that now work in the Met Office want to get a stiffy for a "storm", so have invented these daft names to get said stiffy.

Same with weather warnings. "A risk of ice, might lead to slippy pavements cos serious injury could occur if you slip and fall under a bus"

The Met Office must be hiring scriptwriters rather than meteorologists nowadays, we were supposed to have an extreme winter from the 20th Jan, then some stronger than normal winds become a storm. Look forward to solar flares directly hitting Oxfordshire and rendering the UK a barren wasteland in June or something.
 
Start of U7 footy training tonight, sprayed myself (old hand, been there done that etc) but everybody, mums, dads, kids, coaches, got murdered by mozzies...through clothes as well.
Will have to get the Bushmans super spray for next week.
 

Bus lanes, or more the people that don’t know how to use them.

Every Sunday I nearly have an accident in the same stretch of road with someone who without looking just swerves left in to the bus lane, often looking at me as if I’m in the wrong.

The bus lane is active Monday - Friday for something daft like 2 hours ffs.
 
People who every time a particular town /city / place is said they use their own 'funny, quirky' name for it, an example being Amsterdamage or Bas Vegas (Basildon). It was remotely funny the first time but gets on your wick after that. The same person Im thinking of also says holibobs instead of holiday every time....you're not funny you're just annoying!
Right Im off down the Gymmy Saville..........

The landlord of my favourite pub back home has left after 17 years. It’s the last pub in the area that hasn’t changed from my early drinking days and I will be truly gutted if it changes or closes for good.

I had the same thing with my local a few years ago.

The landlords daughter took over after he’d been there for 20 plus years and everyone thought it’d be more of the same.

She was a disaster ( bone idle ) and the pub nearly went under.

Fortunately the new people who came in knew what they were doing and placed is doing really well again, but the pub isn’t the same as they now do food and have bands on. Rather than what it was before, an old skool boozer.

it’s like losing part of your identity.

There’s another pub nearby which I loved which was struggling for a bit before changing ownership. It’s better than it closing like you say but it’s completely changed and is almost unrecognisable.

This one would really hurt though.
