Stupidly bright modern led lamppost lights. I know they probably save energy, but why don't they put covers over them? Interrogating council bastards.

Agree with you. They are so bright you get blinded if you drive over a hill and there is one at the top. You can't seen the night sky and your night vision is ****ed when you drop out a street light zone. Hate them. Why cant they have made them LED but a nice orange glow like the old ones?

I hate the bastards, we have two outside the house. Bizarrely half the estate has the old kind, so they must have just started replacing them with these poxy things.

Coming to a main road near you soon, LED road marker lights. Nowhere near as annoying as the lampposts, but you get a horrible distraction in your rear view mirror as you drive along. On the plus side though, if you turn your headlights to sidelights its like driving in some virtual world.

In the budget they can put 10p on a packet of fags or 5p on a pint of beer and the very next day the price is up. They put a sugar tax on fizzy drinks..........2 years time WTF?

Smoke and mirrors....doubt if it will ever see the light of day, hence the two years bit.

3) Being in Ikea - at all
4) Finding out there is a "list" while in Ikea
5) Seeing a massive queue for the tokens to get an Ikea ice-cream
6) Paying for parking at Ikea
7) Ikea

1: Look up your item on the Ikea website. look for the page where it tells what area to pick the item up from. NEVER VISIT IKEA ON A WHIM !
2: Why waste 10 minutes trying to park as close to the store as possible. Quicker to park further away and walk into the store.
3: Enter the store via the Exit - closer to where they store the goods.
4: Pay at the self service tills. Nobody wants to use them.

IKEA is not a day-out. Get in - Get out !

Whilst at University some years ago........we had a street light right outside the bedroom window and only a sheet for a curtain.

It took at least six shots with a mates air rifle to shoot the light out.......

And then the bloody council came around the following week and fixed the bastard.

People who advertise their old football shirts that have their own name on the back for sale on ebay. Just stop it, it's not much better than offering to sell your used underwear

Some people pay good money for used underwear.

Who in God's world would ever stump up cash for "used panties", which I am given to understand are freely available for sale? :eek:

It pisses me off that Mrs. JJ generally likes to follow the arrows on the floor, which are clearly only intended to make sure you don't miss a single nook or cranny in what they have for sale.

F*ckwits queuing to get a sub from Subway that don't even have the manners to say please and thank you when asked what they would like. I hope they detest olives and get a random one hidden in there that they haven't spotted until they've bitten down on it, ruining the taste of the rest of it. Now that's annoying too!
