Irritations

[Herlock Sholmes]

Bloody fireworks!!!

They used to be a treat for kids on November 5th (and a nightmare for dogs) but now they’re just an all year round irritant.

Café’s that put butter on bacon sandwiches! Surely that’s illegal.

I think this refers to the kind of porridge based breakfast cereals that come in labour-saving microwavable sachets, and are loaded with sugar and salt and various other ingredients, to keep the kiddies quiet.

If anyone really fancies the basic, grey porridge oats that their granny used to start cooking at six o'clock of a frosty morning, using a double boiler on the stove, I suspect they will be quite safe from any 'nanny state' interference.

UK gov now considers porridge junk food and has banned porridge adverts for children

Television adverts for on line international gambling companies which are repeated ad nauseum, and always show a happy bunch of blokes celebrating their winnings, yeah as if.

Is it as bad over there?

Well, as much as I would like to bash Aussie Post, what with their outrageously increased charges and the threat of deliveries only on alternate days, they and Royal Mail did manage to deliver a Christmas card from regional Victoria to a friend in Manchester inside 10 days and vice versa. Credit where it is due, however rare.

You mean the ones you elected. The US may be about to have the same experience.

Not me .

As far as the U.S goes , big difference will be the reverse

It never used to be a problem , but sure is now given the people in charge the last decade .

You live in Victoria? Well, there's your problem. You've heard the proposition that the best thing about Victoria is the Hume Highway, that leads to NSW. Just joking of course.

Are you from Sydney?

Popular Melbourne insult.

I am in a rural Victoria , rest assured I've had my fair share of frustrations and annoyances.

Perhaps it's a matter of where you live. I've had no problems with Australia Post, but I live in a rural area.

Similar to things you mentioned, and in some cases its worst. Its a joke.
