That I've had flipping Blurred Lines stuck in my head all day after I heard it at the gym yesterday.

No I don't want it, Robin Thicke (never was a man more appropriately named) GO AWAY.

And if anyone else did that at work with a 17 year old girl, he'd be up before a tribunal. No wonder his wife left him if that's what he gets up to at work!

^ They still play that song? Argh! I haven't heard any criticism of Pharrell for contributing to that song. Don't know why he is so popular at the moment.

The security for Windows Live. It is driving me crazy. It is incredibly confusing. I don't know what most of the messages mean, and I keep getting locked out of my emails. There doesn't seem to be any solution.

That was not my favourite visit to Asda.

Work is a particularly annoying today!

[Olly.]

Arrogant, selfish van drivers who speed through a narrow street with cars on one side and don't give way for you or even slow down as if you're not there, basically forcing you off the road

[goldenjuniper]

Stupid condescending iPhone ad go you chicken fat go, cos it's really not possible to get fit or exercise without some stupid iPhone strapped to your arm. Duck off apple.

When the SAUKmods close the "Big things that annoy you" thread!

[indiegirl1980]

Why we had to have a big inquest as to why Murray didn't win Wimbers again.

We waited 77 years for someone to do it again, and now we get spoilt and want it 2 years in a row? And why is it all Kim's fault that he was distracted? She probably only reminded him to put the bins out when he got home!

The ladies' finalist is the champion from 3 years ago, so she didn't win it in two consecutive years either. The same thing will happen here.

People who 'live' in other eras. It really annoys me and I don't even know why. Every so often they'll come up in the media somewhere - Oh, look at Glenda, she pretends it's the sixties, wears sixties' clothes, and pisses in the garden. And here's Tim and Charlotte, they both live in the 1930s, wash once a month and knit their own underwear. They did have a child but it died from a graze to the knee from falling over a mangle in the garden because antibiotics aren't widely available yet.

I mean what is it about? Why? I'm all for freedom in lifestyle choices, but this is just ridiculous. I hate to get Nazi on a Saturday afternoon but these people do need to be culled.

Bloody thunderbugs INSIDE my laptop screen, I've had years in the past where the bloody little things die in the middle of the screen and are stuck there for months

And before jam or Appear make a pun, yes it really is bugging me

So that's what they mean by a computer bug

They're really annoying. I wish they'd just bugger off.

My understanding, from watching programmes about these people, is that they usually reach some kind of compromise which prevents things becoming too inconvenient and backward, ie. keeping the modern appliances but behind period-style cupboards, etc.

Are they romantically cherrypicking the aspects of times and cultures that they personally want to experience and broadcast? No doubt. But they're no more deluded than those modern-day adults queueing outside Apple shops to buy what they consider to be a whole lifestyle or people sepia-Instagramming their cafe latte to their world. Modern culture is so....exhaustingly fast and sexualised and branded that it must be nice to just shut the door on all that when you get in your house. And generally speaking, they keep to themselves. I'd rather people lived that lifestyle then stood on street corners shouting about how awesome it is to be a Muslim/Christian, for example

You've swayed me. I was being semi-serious, they only rattle me slightly - like not a Piers Morgan level rattle, but more a oh no the last bit of my ice lolly's fallen off the stick sort of thing - but the way you've put it's made rethink things. They're just as bad as everyone else, if not slightly better. At least they're not following the crowd.

I'm hurt, Olly, hurt. I can't speak for Jom, but I can say that I only ever pun where I feel it to be appropriate. I'd never make light of the problems you're having with those thunderbugs. Insect-ions like Small things that annoy you, I wouldn't even dream of it...

[Olly.]

^ Oh dear oh dear, Appear

And bugger me, that's a lot of insect related puns

No need to be antsy about it, Olly.

*wink*

[Olly.]

^^ I think they're definitely the bugs in that screenshot, I've had that before and I've watched them crawl across the screen, only to just stop and never move again.

^ But I ant getting antsy about it

[Tom Morello]

"Eyelashes" on car headlights.

[Olly.]

^ Yeah I've seen that before and don't get it

[Z.]

Any attempt to humanize motor vehicles reminds me instantly of Brum.

Perhaps the creepiest children's TV show of all time.

It's a car that's actually alive for god sake.

^ And it was set in Birmingham. Like, my god.

People who follow every rule down to a T. In other words: kiss-arses

My baby trying to pick my nose.

^ Sounds very cute though!
