Trivial things that make you annoyed beyond expectations?

Apparently the marshes at Parkgate on The Wirral heve been ablaze overnight, police suggesting started deliberately.

Will go that way on my ride tomorrow and have a look.

@cougie uk may have been that way today.

I did go that way. It was fine thank God by Burton Marsh and Neston so the damage was higher up by Parkgate itself. I think an area 500m2. We didn't want to pop down to the prom as it's always busy at the best of times.


There is a lot of dry vegetation around today but I'm sure we'll sort that out soon.

Hugely high tide on the Dee today.

Triple jumpers and long jumpers, at the start of their run-ups always exhorting the crowd to clap and holler like loonies, just get on with the jump you nobbers.

Professional golfers being asked by a sport reporter what their tactics for the next round will be. Surely it's always get the ball into the hole in as fewer shots as possible!

I must be of a nervous disposition as when crossing the bridge I am always happy to be off the last plank and back on concrete!

Now its good weather, People with strimmers, what make them think mulched, uneven ground/grass looks better than long grass ?

May offend a few people here...but people who ritualistically wash their cars every Sunday.

Weirdos.

I washed my car for the first time, a few weeks back, on account of going to a funeral at a crematorium, i thought it might look 'disrespectful' if it didn't.

Hoping everyone else I care about, stays alive for a long while now..

A tub of spread, as in the stuff you spread on bread fell out the fridge last night. Luckily even though the top came off as it hit the ground none of the spread came out the tub........or so I thought. About half an hour later I took my shoes off only to see spread around the sole of one shoe. On further inspection I saw some spread must've come out as I saw some had been walked in on my kitchen floor!!

I've just heard the presenter of a local radio phone in say that you can get 'sun burnt ' no matter what day it is in the calendar. According to him, if the sun is shining it can 'burn you'. I've worked outside many many years, jobs wise and may I say that the sun starts 'burning' you late March and stops late September. Here in Britain that is!🧐

Edit...unless you're on Largactil, which if I remember rightly has a side affect of reddening the face when exposed to UV rays, no matter the time of year.

 

[ColinJ]

I agree - I burn very easily but have never had any problems in the UK from October until late March/early April.

Holidays on the Costa Blanca in early March were often a different matter!

Riding down a single track gravelly lane with pedestrians on opposite side who then step on to your side when they see you approaching. What is that all about, no I don’t want to ride across the central gravel strip in case I puncture or come off.
