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

It was very good from what I understand. Sparkling white porcelain and a creepy guy handing you towels who you're loathe to tip and everything!

Well my irk was gonna be that despite the fact that the country is stone broke & we're still pumping billions more than origianally predicted into the olympics, we're still trying to bring the World Cup here 6 yrs later.
Thank god thats been avoided now. Congrats to Russia for taking it off our hands.

Amusing that it was this week Russia was named by Wikileaks as being Mafia run. With those sort of connections they could hardly fail, not unless Beckham wanted to wake up with a horse's head on his pillow.

Not a bad thing in this case then. I think the correct outcome was reached

There's all the stuff saying how great it is for music. Yes, the Beatles were Liverpudlians but they were one band, if you put them to one side, the region's musical accomplishments aren't notably more significant than the souths. We get endless documentaries about the Liverpool and Manchester scene but very few about London.

Nobody likes London though. So fair enough then. :P

Going out drinking this time of year.

Why is it an irk? It's an irk because 99% of my friends smoke, and it could be -40 outside, but they insist on sitting out in the beer garden, which is the last place any sane, normal person would want to be in the middle of winter.

This is probably one of the worst things about the smoking ban. I actually go out less in the winter now because of this, unless I'm with other non-smokers as I don't see the point in leaving my nice warm flat on a freezing cold winter's night to sit outside just so other people can smoke.

good irk Ady, I'll ad to this if you freeze your butt off outside with them you still go home stinking of fag smoke or the alternative is to become designated bag/coat minder indoors when they all shove off outside for 'just a couple of mins' - I actually take a book now as its usually far longer.

plus in addition to all that my quim ninja mate seems to get chatting to all the best crumpet whilst outside.

[charlesr]

Surely the "best crumpet" doesn't include smokers (unless you smoke).

[merf]

their quality gets magnified when you see a mate chatting to them through the window and you can't reek their stinking breathe.

Rollie breath is the worst. >_<

Pedestrians who think it's safer to walk on road wheel tracks than on the snowy footpath - Compunded by some idiots who are pushing prams.

Have these people got a death wish.

'Mint' games from ebay which are no way even near mint... This happens too often to me.

The mail notification icon on the taskbar of my works computer has stopped working. For no reason. Triple checked the settings and it's all set as it should be for them to appear but Outlook is having none of it.

Manual checking FTL!

Nobody likes London though. So fair enough then. :P

Oooh nice point, London Irks me cos its a smelly disugusting place with too much pollution, black bogeys in my nose whenever I return.

Got my Natwest credit card statment through and they removed my 5.9 interest for life offer because I was late one time making a payment, I know its in the T&C's but having been with them for so long it irk's me almost to the point of wanting to change banks altogether.
