Everything annoys me.

However, over the past few days this has royally pissed me off....

People on road bikes weighing as much as my barley bag thinking they've dropped me, mostly on hills where they've had a chance to catch up. My bike is a steel lump lugging 20kg+ of shite in panniers. I've got a bloody full size hammer in my tent bag for knocking the pegs in for gods sake, enough food, water and clothes to take me on a round the world trip. I'm not on a 20 mile ride in the sunshine, I've been sat on it all week carrying this crap for over 800 miles.

The Lance 'Look' ended in the nineties and is no longer cool. I'll be out on the carbon tomorrow if you'd like to try again.

People who rant and rave about how crap art is when in reality, they know fcuk all about it.

Really, what is this great mythical distinction between art and non art??

Factual inaccuracies in songs.
For example, "Shine bright like a diamond".

Also, Idiots that rant "Diamonds don't shine, they reflect light".
Diamonds don't shine or reflect light. The refract light!

Pop stars are role models to our kids, and they're filling their little heads with this nonsense, undoing all the good work their teachers are doing.

Listening to Rihanna actually makes you thick!

School sports day, I have absolutely zero interest in watching other people's children do PE. I'm just not one of those people who are overly enthusiastic/jolly about kids. I love mine, I love my nieces, and I'm fond of a few of my daughter's friends and hope they do well in life, but I think my parents had the right idea in never ever coming to a single school sports day, assembly, concert, or play, in fact these day I kind of admire my dad for sticking to his stock answer of "because it will be really boring" when asked why not.

Also I am beginning to actively dislike the "cool kid", he played the fool and openly cheated with a shoot eating grin on his face twice and no one made him have a time penalty or a rollicking. If any other kid were to have done that the headmistress would have told them off and made them cry, which is something we have seen her do many times before. Problem cool kid is going to have is that unless someone tells him "ok it was funny once but pack it in now" then he will continue to do this forever and he's just not rich enough to pull it off when he gets older.

Ha Ha, I thought I was the only one who found that song annoying and factually incorrect!

Sorry but diamonds do also reflect light else if there were on a black background they would be invisible but they're not. The imperfections, the edges and the particles that rest on the surface means that light is reflected off them.
