Booker T & the M.G.'s being announced and played on the wireless..
Why is it always Green feckin' Onions!!?

They did lots of other decent tunes...

The radio stations will not play more Booker T & the M.G’s tracks because time is tight.

I see what you did there 😂

Digital aficionados who get stuck at the barriers in stations/London Underground/buses etc because the blasted eticket won't scan etc. I'm the bloke behind you with an ancient bit of cardboard which will get me through the barrier faster than you faffing about swiping your phone.

I've previously recounted my tale of frustration trying to top up my Oyster card at the tube station. Fortunately I spotted it was in fact the payment card for the works canteen just before I went to complain

When I got a new account Beautiful Wife asked why I didn't use the same bank as the one we'd been with for 20 years.
Answer: this one has a blue card and the other one is red, so I won't get them mixed up...

Cyclists that wheel their bikes by the handlebars (rather than the saddle to keep a hand free).
Totally irrational annoyance, I know and admit.
