minor things that make you fume

[degsy]

I'm at my annual festival at Wychwood this weekend, helping set up as per.

Last year I decided my campervan wasn't used enough to warrant tax, mot and insurance, so instead bought a fancy pants tee pee tent and had great fun organising everything I need in boxes for the boot. Decided to go in the xj6 and enjoy myself on the way to Cheltenham, so loaded it up to the rafters.

It wouldn't start. Ffs! It was perfect earlier this week, but it seems to be developing random spontaneous faults despite me spending hours on it. Got it going after a few minutes tinkering. Drove off fine. Then it started cutting out at idle at junctions .... more tinkering.

Finally got to the event, signed in and fancied a cuppa ... if course, like a rookie, the stove is the last thing to unpack out of the car, so I have to put up the new tent first. One pole .... easy .... around 30 pegs. Ffs! Since the last time I put a tent up, I've aged 20 years and without realising it, this has become hard work, very hard work. I'm knackered, and I haven't started work yet ... or set up the stove.

Then I started to realise the things I'd forgotten ... my lunch, my dinner, my bacon for breakfast ... morale plummeted.

Oh and the inflatable mattress. Mrs Chrismpw gad insisted I test these for leaks, so I had unpacked them, inflated them and left them in the spare room overnight. They're still there.

Have been up since 4.

But it's a Jaaag...still a pain though

Did the fez get it's annual outing?

Not today, sadly. Way too hot and I need the shade offered by my fedora.

Needless and excessive whistling in football crowds.

Listens to advert, then a song before another 3 ads and 1 more song, and more ads. Repeat ad infinitum.

I believe there are some cut price CD's and cassette's on offer...

'Listen to this advert to enjoy 30 mins of ad free music on Spotify'.

Add to this the fact that it hardly ever plays the song which you want to listen to at that precise moment, unless you pay for the subscription.

Spotify usually plays the advertisement and then plays a song completely unrelated to the one which I want to listen to at that moment, all because I might like the song. More often than not, the song in question is awful.

Sat on the sofa while the Mrs is reading our child a book from a series called ‘Little People Big Dreams’ basically history for toddlers so there ones all sorts of luminaries from David Bowie, to Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks, John Lennon etc etc.
She got to the end and started reading off all the books in the series……

Captain Tom Moore has got one ffs.
All he did was walk round his massive bleeding garden while we were all stuck indoors ffs.

Daytime TV, not the programmes particularly, it's the adverts. All viewers are assumed to be on deaths door, if it's not cremation policies it's life insurance 'for when you are gone'. Add to that over-hyped burglar alarms and doorbell cameras, travel insurance for couples with Klopp-like teeth, and ready meals delivered to your door as pensioners are obviously too busy to make something to eat for themselves. Thankfully I can usually record any programmes I want to watch and fast forward past this drivel.

There's this one nark on at the minute flogging both, saving the family from the mither of your passing in one ad, followed by his smug braying grid talking up a culinary world tour in the next.
Someone will make a fortune grafting adblock onto the TV.

Amazon autoplaying Clarksons farm after what I've chosen to watch has finished. I'm not a fat 50 year old mild drinking gammon, so kindly stop trying to insert that garbage into my algorithms you fascist scumbags

I do miss June Whitfield who used to encourage us to get life insurance so our family wouldn't get stuck with paying our final expenses and consequently hate us for ever.
But unfortunately she passed away.
