Things Cat Trialvilly Annoy You (part whatever) *MOD WARNING IN OP*

In other TAs, I've been scouring the web for recipes that didn't mention "cups" or "boxes of cake mix". I found one that really took the biscuits, in TA terms: the recipe contained cups, grams, millilitres and ounces. But hey, no cake mix, at least...

I see those cup measurements coming over here... Just use actual measurements you bastards!

Speaking of- ta how we as a country are all over the shop as regards measurements . We took on the metric system ages ago but loads of people still talk in miles, yards, feet & inches, stones & lbs.

Hard to break habits. I use km when driving, but I still prefer to hear mpg to kmpg as I can't figure it out no matter how many times I try. Still use stone and pounds, but only when weighing myself and I don't do that very often. I didn't know feet and inches was replaced, still use that often.

I still prefer MPG. for metric they use L/100KM and i can never figure out if a figure quoted is good unless i get out a calculator.

I booked with Ryanair to go to London in Feburary 2020.
Due to family circumstances, I had to cancel the trip so I emailed them at the time to see could I get a refund of the government fee.
Covid happened a month later so I totally forgot about that insignificant request.
In the meantime, I had to bombard Ryanair for a whole 9 months to get a refund for a trip to Spain that we had also booked for last summer that they cancelled due to Covid.
Eventually after countless emails and filling in the same refund form over and over, I got the full Spanish flights refunded.
THEN...this week, 13 months on, I got an email to say my request for the government fee refund for the flight to London in February 2020 was denied due to administrative fees out weighing the government fee owed to me!
I burst out laughing when I got that email.
There should be an award for their incompetence.

Similar as when I am.judging a house size I need to see the sq feet as I know what that means in relation to a conceptual area. And I use metric for everything I can such as weight, height, distance etc.

Oh, it's not the liking their dogs I've a problem with, I love animals. I do take issue with the programme, though. First we have "The Next Top Model" (it HAS to be televised, or else nobody could ever be chosen to parade clothes up and down a catwalk ever again). But then, when Jo(sephin)e Soap's attention starts to wane and the ratings drop, the big TV honchos decide to modernise the format. What can we replace the women with? Oh, I know, DOGS!!! Because DOGS have such a big ego and they thrive on the challenge of being judged for their appearance... they've been dreaming of becoming The Next Dog Model since they were ickle pups... :rolleyes: And what better way of keeping the public entertained with cat fights, sob stories, rivalry, etc? And when dogs don't grab the public's attention any more, we'll probably replace them with the next wall of drying paint, "50 shades of whatever on an accent wall" (c) (tm).

I suppose it is a TA or could be the opposite depending on your humour. I seem to remember there was a programme about Hitler on one of those History channels. Except the programme was not exactly about Hitler. They run out tangents after a while it seems. It was basically about Hitler's dog. Complete with sinister and dramatic music along with images of the dog, wagging the tail at Hitler. Blondi I believe was the dog's name.

These infuriating pop up ads they have on here now. When you go to a new page and are just about to click on something up pops an advert which pushes the whole page down so you end up clicking on the ad by mistake and get taken to a new page...Why I oughtta! :mad:

Trying to run in that wind. In fact, the wind in general, I'm so sick of it. Living in fear of a dog poo bag being blown back over my hand just as I'm about to pick up. Have had far too many near-misses over the past week.

Teenagers. That's all.

Decided to sort out the kids’ socks. Scoured the whole house for them. Gathered them all up. Match up the pairs.

I’ve ended up with 97 unmatched socks. Ninety fücking seven!!!

Not only does that mean that I’m left with a pile of 97 useless socks, but it means that there’s still 97 other unaccounted-for socks around the house that I can’t find.

WTF, like?

The amount of discarded masks on footpaths, It seems to have overtaken the amount of dog poo.

To be fair I think some might have gotten caught in the wind as I nearly lost one there on Friday but yeah it is a scummy thing to see on the ground.

It was disposable gloves this time last year as well. Fecking everywhere they were. All along the side of the road- people would ditch them before they got into their car. Nobody is using them anymore so you hardly see them now.
People can be such thoughtless twerps.

I see alot of the throwaway blue masks on the roads. But there are also the store bought black masks as well. None of them are recyclable. I just can't fathom the ignorance of it.

I think you wanted the TH thread :pac:


Why do ITV keep showing the Smokie &The Bandit films in the middle of the day and editing the hell out of them? Some crap and really obvious cuts and dubbing.

Same on C4 they cut lumps out of The Simpsons, Malcolm in The Middle etc.

Button flies.

It's been going on for the guts of year now. Nothing to do with the weather, just people being horrible fcuking litterbugs.
