I was gonna suggest that getting annoyed by folk watching telly is a bit weird. 

I get annoyed by people who continually watch shite TV shows (yer reality/faux real life stuff) which forces production companies to continually make shite TV shows. I hold them personally responsible for the overall shite content you receive on most platforms.

It’s a very chicken and egg argument.  Production companies make stuff they know that there will be an audience for.

When I flick through the SKY TV guide the titles alone make me wonder who the hell would watch the stuff that’s on.  Some channels seem to specialise in mind numbing drivel.

You've got about 50 Channels now- when ah were a lad there were 3. Parents didn't like the light entertainment shite you used to get on a Saturday night so you ended up watching documentaries about Ancient Egypt on BBC 2 for something to do.

You should try ‘Married at First Sight Australia’ that jamamafegan recommended to me recently - excellent show, lots of drama & 100% real. V v v good entertainment.

She'll be doing the old "Not up the arse 'till we're married" line.
 
Don't fall for it, it's a trick!

You'll not see me getting married, mugs game imo.

Best thing I ever did. (Apart from retiring, maybe).

Disappointing news. I'd never have shaken jama's hand when I met him if I knew this.

Its just my opinion, I think religion is just ridiculous so why would I want to partake in a religious ceremony just to commit to someone. In my eyes it's pointless and expensive.

You can get married in a Registry Office.

I have an A in Higher Economics :smartass

It was a while ago though- I think we were still in the ERM at the time.

I got a B I think. We hadn't even joined the EEC.

Facebook business pages that use "z" instead of "s".  "Bedz for sale" "white goodz for sale" "uzed carz for sale". f**k off and spell things the right fucking way.

There's a facebook business going round my way that just boggles the mind. The wife of the brother of my sister's husband is a stay-at-home mum and by all accounts mediocre member of society. She's just started a facebook business called "X - Grazed" where X is actually the first initial of her forename. It sounds like a perfume brand but I actually consists of her piling a bunch of serrano ham, olives, crackers, cheese, grapes etc into an unbranded pizza box and delivering it to your house.

Fair play to the girl I thought, she tries to make it look nice, and I just figured she had a peculiar interest and was making a business out of it. Until earlier today I saw my niece liking + sharing a post from another local company called Grazy Boxes or something, doing the same thing. Apparently this is a thing that exists and your wee maws from the nicer schemes spend their money on. A bunch of standard groceries delivered to your door, except with a huge mark-up, piled into a pizza box, several days older and having been taken out the packet. 

Stupidness

There's a wee burger van near me that rather than changing the format or font size of their menu, they will alternate between using cheese and chz. I refuse to use them anymore.

One type of listing that used to boil my piss back when the Yellow Pages were a thing were tradesmen who would try to out-"A" each other so they could be first in the phone book.

There was something intrinsically desperate about a say a chippy styling himself AAA Aaable Aaron that made me automatically go to another letter of the alphabet...just had a feeling they weren't getting much repeat business.

I’ve ordered a sweetie version for my kids birthday next week 🙈😂 She’ll love it and it’s still £150 cheaper that 20 them at soft play for a party!

Plus all that sugar then deliver her to her dad after!
