Irritations

[c.d.]

Young people who say things like my current job is not really in alignment with my values and goals and doesn't provide the free time to do things I want to do so I am going to quit. Yeah, good luck with that.

[c.d.]

Young people who are shocked that anything significant or interesting took place before they were born.

TV history channels who seem to think that very little happened before 1939.

I find the Great War infinitely more interesting than WWII. It's usually only glossed over.

...and Sonny Liston certainly knew something about going down.

Not really an irritation since it doesn't directly affect me but a head-scratcher all the same. People who buy really expensive cell phones but don't shell out a few extra bucks for a plastic case to protect it.

My friends son bought a phone that cost more than his car (although the car was was bought very cheaply from his friend, but still..)

Hi Herlock - you'll be telling us next that football existed before the formation of the Premier League.

Hi OneRound,

I’m a cricket man rather than football but I watched some clips of 1970’s football a few weeks ago and my two nephews were there (20 and 18). They had never seen football were players were tackled, went down, then got straight back up without pretending that Sonny Liston had just punched them.

Religious people who make arguments without having any understanding of basic science whatsoever but who will smugly point out how the vast majority of scientists are wrong.

Vape shops too.

The police need to raid them like they did with the American candy shops.

Agreed Tani. If you closed down Barber Shops, Vape shops, mobile phone shops and fast food outlets our high streets would be empty.

Only UK residents will get this one - that there are so many men’s barbers shops everywhere. (3 within 400m of my front door) Add another 200m and it’s 5. It’s like a plague.

Woke up this mornin
Put on mah walkin shoes
Went down to the crossroads
And realised I was in the nude


...Apart from mah shoes



The original intention was to make up a Barber Shop Blues, but the old mind got a bit sidetracked.
