I hate

Regarding ads on Youtube; since a couple of years I have installed Brave Web browser as a "YouTube viewer" as it block ads flawlessly (at least on Mac OS).

Worth a try.

The flat pack bed for the spare bedroom has arrived.

Paging @villa-ru, @Stonehedge, @efb

Anyone want to reach a sense of balance with the cosmos and lasting enlightenment? The clutch on the big driver and impact driver are both set at 5, with the requisite bits fitted. I'll even make tea/coffee/pour beer.

Aaaaargh, the dowels, the dowels......

Thoughts and prayers brother.

Genuinely would help if you were near SE10!

For pain free repeat dowel insertion, my tip is to soak your thumbs in vinegar for 2 hours.
Enjoy!

Just tap in with a pin hammer or mallet, no?

Just ensure it's the right dowel hole before hammering!

This lot at the ready. RTFM time!

pro tip!

Your flatpack game is strong.

Useless tip on its own.

You also need the right dowel.

Several hours and a *little light swearing later.

*OK, ok, fucking lots of it.

As trauma therapy I shall now summarily hang several pictures which I found guilty earlier.

Shameless ‘my house has an ensuite’ brag pic.

leave the man alone he has to use his landing as a bedroom

Not my house, but the house I live in, rented.

So rich you can pay somebody elses mortgage

Too old and poor to ever be allowed a mortgage, trapped in rent only....

People fucking about on the threshold. Either entering or leaving a building, deciding this the place to dance a merry fucking jig, to decide which direction you really want to go, to check to see if you have your key for the door or your ticket for the turnstile.

This. See also shops, in particular supermarkets. Just right at the door looking for notes, looking at phones.
Dithering in general.

People who are too busy and rush everywhere making things stressful for other people. Chill out gize, haven’t you heard the parable of the investment banker and the Mexican ditherer?

People who drive in the middle lane on motorways. Cunts.

Those people are rushing because they have been rotating in a doorway for 15 minutes doing a full inventory of their pockets while introducing themselves to the itinerary they should have considered some time back..now they are playing catch up

People who say "look" at the beginning of a sentence. Is it something politicians are told to do?

I get it, I really do. But increasingly I find that there are so many slow moving HGVs, vans with speed limiters and caravans or just congestion assembling to turn off at the next junction that driving anywhere other than the middle lane is becoming more difficult. On busy roads that is of course.

Imo, the mddle lane hogging rules were written at a time when the elft lane was far less congested. I do spend a lot of time driving on major roads that connect with ports though so perhaps my experience isn't indicative.

Don’t even get me started on lane discipline on 4 lane motorways.

Tho at least there you get a conveniently empty lane in which to respectfully undertake every fucking idiot on the road.
