Little things that irk you.. (no swearing please)

[NW2013]

Kernow: Two of my facebook friends have set up blogs about their children! *pokes out own eyes* That's on top of them always status updating about their kids anyway.

Additionally, there are no less than five women at work with young children and they ALWAYS talk about them all of the time. I know more about child birth than I ever wanted to know. I can't unhear those conversations.

It is an irk that I don't particularly want kids but many, many ladies do. This is a big problem in my quest for a long term relationship, an irk you might say.

New irk - it's a bumper day!

Stupid gossip magazines abbreviating celebrity names in an annoying way.

R-PATZ. K-STEW. AAARGH shut the **** up!!

Those crazy Japaneez do it too - sukayoha for Scarlett Johansson and Burapi for Brad Pitt. In their defence, it's a bit of a mouthful to say Scarlett Johansson in a Japanese accent, so I can see their point, but still.

As a bloke at that company you'd be kept busy. Plenty of tasty skirt to chase.

Mentioned this one before but it absolutely gets on my nerves...

People that end a statement with a question mark?

Welsh propaganda.

Stone Henge was apparently built from stone dragged from Pembrokeshire hence it was the Welsh who built it, they helped build a lot of Londons historic buildings, Dylan Thomas being some kind of god despite the fact that he was a drunken womaniser who wrote 1 or 2 bits of half decent literature while most was terrible (& ended up dragging that tw@t Neil Morrisey down to Laughearn), the welsh news shouting that the new Australian PM is of Welsh descent, Bob Dylan (according to a welsh prog) was Welsh but they neglected to mention the fact that he changed his name to Bob Dylan, etc. There's more just cant remember right now.

A pathetic & desperate attempt to prove that they are an important country in this big old world. And yes I am welsh btw

I struggled with the NAT settings on the homehub for a while. Sometimes changing settings would work, other times not. I eventually discovered that resetting the network settings on the Xbox (possibly deleting the device from the homehub too, can't remember) and going through the setup process, fixed it every time.

Bit of a late reply I know, been so busy the past week, think i'll give this a try when i get some time on my day off, can never be bothered after coming in from work, cheers for that

If it's a homehub I can take you through it as I checked mine last night.

If the above doesn't work i'll gladly take you up on your offer thank you, will update on my progress

suspect/bad decisions in football ....getting fed up with the amount of cheating with just about every other sport having video referees now why not football

People who refer to Japanese people as san. Don't do it. It's just plain stupid, and you're not being respectful, you're being a fool. I see it on this forum and on places like Kotaku and IGN all the time. Drives me nuts.

Flash mobs & flash mobbing - 'hey, we're all of a sudden dancing in the middle of a train station in a not at all organised or forced way. How zany are we?!!!'

Facebook, the whole dame thing.

Oh look its someone i knew at school, havent spoken to them for 15 years and didn't bother then yet they assume i want to add another digit to there little counter and hear about there oh so un-amusing comments on a daily basis.

And if i get another blank look off a 20 something bird that ive chatted up/been chatted up by that im not on facebook, i will possibly explode, socially interact with me like a normal person for Christ sake!!



Thankfully my account is long since deleted, but my second point still rears it annoying head.

People at work who boil the kettle to make a cuppa with only a small amount of water in the kettle, but then leave to do something else and are nowhere to be found.

Meaning you have the socially awkward dilemma of deciding whether to:

- steal the tiny amount of water for your own tea and hope they don't catch you in the act

or

- fill it up and boil it again, running the risk that they suddenly reappear whilst it's boiling and give you a dirty look

I'm aware that this might just be specific to the people I'm forced to work with.

[Dirty Sanchez]

Easy - empty the kettle, refill it to the top with cold water, get yourself a nice cool drink of water after running the tap to do this.

Put kettle back but don't swtich it on.

Have a good laugh as you wander back to your desk.
