What annoys you the most ? - Page 1106

Maybe it's just wishful thinking, or a faulty memory, but I seem to recall that when UK Channel 4, or was it 5?, started there was supposed to be a clause in their charter that limited the amount of advertising they were allowed to show per hour. I know that I would drive Panda Bear nutty if I did but I'm sometimes tempted to get a stopwatch out and actually time the ad breaks because just recently I do feel all commercial channels are getting a bit silly.

What are the odds that each time you change channel you come across adverts? Because that's what seems to happen to me. Some channels only show self-advertising anyway so why not just leave it out? After all, we are watching your channel so why do you have to advertise it? Drives me bonkers.

Best way to watch TV as told to me by TV exec who doesnt own a TV

DVD or if you must use a TV - record and fast forward through the ads

The thing that really gets me is cable TV in Australia
Its been said over the years they have more Ads than free to air.

You used to pay to avoid Ads - now they offer only 4/5 ad free channels out of 40+

There doesnt appear to be a premium level where you can have them removed
except buying some more hardware - recording and fast forwarding through them.

Sort of.
Before speaking to "The Law"

I`d spoken to everybody else around the place. You know the coffee seller , newsagent and such. Telling them what`d happened and my senti-mental attachment to the nicked wallet. Which is another reason I felt extremely resentful to the Roma`s by the time I got round to those weak arse policemen. As everybody was complaining about them hanging around at night in ever greater numbers causing trouble and acting like they could do whatever they wanted

Anyway,
Well the flower seller only called me this morning saying she`d found it under her stall

So whomever took it must have grabbed the cards , threw it on the ground quick and kicked it under Katie`s stall.
Granted it`s picked up scuff damage now

But at least I got it back

Plus those professional thieving rodents didn't make any money off me

Huh

Of course I offered her a reward , ten pound

Only she wouldn't take it.
Huh

Why didn't I just buy a ten pound bunch of flowers instead.
What`s the point

Here's my counter prediction,

Hairy angry man points device at talking picture box,
Strange signal emitted from device ,
Talking picture box then makes hairy man happy with crime story

Stick that up your ass Nostra

The most annoying things are (as usual) other people! And their egocentrism.

Case 1 (this morning)
Middle aged woman with shopping cart coming out of the door of the supermarket, completely blocks the way of an older woman with a rollator who wants to go in (because it is the shortest way for her). Doesn't even budge...

Case 2 (yesterday)
What's more annoying then cyclists yapping on their phone or texting while driving?
Well, when on a narrow cycling lane (in busy traffic) the person before you (and other cyclists) suddenly brakes like mad and stops to answer their phone, right there! on that small lane (nearly causing an accident to the people behind him, including myself).

Currently YET ANOTHER FCUKING anti-Brexit march in Central London!

Thousands of anti-Brexit activists are marching to Parliament today as part of a mass wave of protests dubbed "the Autumn of discontent".

Pro-EU activist Sir Bob Geldof is among a host of speakers due to speak to crowds in Parliament Square on Saturday for the People’s March for EU rally.

By 11am, crowds had already gathered in Hyde Park Corner before setting off through the streets to Westminster.

Photos from the rally show a long line of activists, many draped in the iconic blue and yellow colours of the EU flag.

The bleeding History Channel has turned into the Loony Tune Conspiracy Channel. Actual history is rarely presented, and when it is, it is often flawed and presents discredited versions of events. The Learning Channel and Discovery have headed in the same direction.

Years ago, the History Channel presented Russian Films about World War II. Yes, they were flawed and biased, but I learned the truth about who beat the Nazis, and how flawed and biased American and British films were. I gained a great respect for the peoples of the Soviet Union who survived the German/Hungarian/Romanian/Italian onslaught while struggling with the often problematic Stalinist government leadership.

Communist are we , palo5 would be proud of you and Brecht

What annoys me at the moment is this at the moment i am working for my younger brothers company and we are working about an hours drive west of Phoenix Az. And the idiots that drive on I10 freeway are going to kill us , imagine driving at 90 miles an hour and you are tailgating a big truck and being tailgated by a big truck , this is crazy and driving me to drink .

And that stupid Ancient Aliens

Discovery and Nat Geo are headed in a similar direction ,
I really don't get how relevant Wicked Tuna, Fast N' Loud, Auction Hunters, Treehouse Masters are on those channels ..... That was just a quick look at what's on tonight.

But then again, there are a few good ones,
Railroad Australia
Mankind From Space
Last Days Of Bin Laden
102 Minutes That Changed The World
When Crocs Ate Dinosaurs

That's about it .... The rest is just crap
