minor things that make you fume

Have basketball and nfl suddenly become ridiculously popular in the uk like it has here in oz ? I hate both of them

There's loads of folk like those sports and fair dos. I like baseball. I just don't care for the "let's behave like Americans, woo-hoo!" attitude of some Brits.

It's just not cricket. Don't get me started on that....................

Once we're established as the 51st state of America I expect even more cultural invasion. We'll have to call it soccer.............................

51st? You'll be lucky if you number even starts with a 5, theres more than you in the queue Australia for one.

basketball has always been quite popular, never met anyone with an interwst in nfl. Must be a nsw thing?

Maybe, just noticed the talk in the lunchroom at work is more nfl than rugby league these days. Since the premier league went from fox to optus I've noticed less chat about it too

Love Island still somehow being a hot topic.

Americans saying 'math'. It's 'maths' you bloody idiots.

"Is it mathematic or mathematics?" normally wins the argument for me.

Not sure if I have posted this before, apologies if I have.
I remember going to watch a baseball game at Goodison Park. It was just after the war and me and my brother were taken to see it by our Grandad. I think it was a visiting US team playing a 'demonstration' match against a US forces team. Don't remember anything about the game, wasn't impressed. The only thing I remember about the whole proceedings was when the striker/batter (whatever) hit the ball into the crowd and it knocked out an old guy who stood about 10 yards in front of us. That was the only exciting/interesting thing from the whole day. Probably about 1946/47, I would have been 10 or 11.

Bought 20000 shares of Thomas Cook on Tuesday at 5.81p sold them the next morning at 6.23p and made £95.

Now selling for 9.06p a share. About £500 missed.

Cutting through my phone line whilst cutting back the ivy on the front of the house.
Then to add insult to injury my 7 year old daughter knocked my GOT bottle opener off the fridge and broke it, can’t be too cross she just wanted to listen to z cars.

It drives me mad when they say 'rout' instead of 'route'.

Still love the cousins though.

I think I will 'accidently' cut through the wire to my RS neighbours SKY box.
No charity shield on Sunday.

I tell you one thing that grinds my gears - Baby Showers. A women invites all her mates around just to get a load of free stuff. My missus goes to loads and spends a fortune on a load of tat for the ladies in question, stuff that they don’t even need. It’s just a way of saying “everyone come and see me and make a huge fuss, just cos I’m preggers”

These gender reveal parties they all seem to be having now are a bit irritating.
