People who have to boast that they are in a warmer country at this time of the year.

Yes we know you live in Cape Town/Australia/somewhere hot, we live in England where it is cold in December - this is never going to change! Get a life!

Not being able to have a 'hide' option as well as a 'favourite' option on iPlayer. I'd rather have shows suggested to me that I might like based on what my favourites are instead of 'featured' shows which I'll never watch.

It makes no real difference, I can ignore the featured section. It just annoys me.

Estate agents that try to pimp houses to me that I have already excluded from the specs/location that I have given them.
Every single house they have suggested, that I hadn't found already online, has been worthless. If you can't meet my requirements, don't bother telling me about it.

I remember my folks being annoyed by estate agents. You tell them your max budget, so they send you schedules that are your max budget+30k. Err why? you asked for the max budget, so that is what they gave you. They don't have 30k extra or else their max budget would have been 30k higher. Now you're just annoying the crap out of them with 'this is what you could have got'. If we are talking unrealisitc expectations, I can offer them a damn sight better than most estate agents!

^ That too!

And the "it won't hurt to put an offer in" remark on a house that's already 30k over budget. You never offer the exact asking price so offering them 40k under their listing value is just going to be flat out rejected.

That reminds me.

BBC recently 'upgraded' the iplayer app.

You can now play radio programs with the screen off or while doing something else *faints!*

They've taken away the favourites through *sigh*

Just been to see a great show at the Bloomsbury composed of multiple acts each doing a few minutes. It overran so myself and my mum and dad had to leave before the final act to catch the train. The six or seven people we had to pass before the aisle quite obviously deliberately didn't make any effort to move ther legs so we had to stand on their feet. One sarcastically went 'ow'. For literally none of them to move it's almost like they planned it. **** 'em. If trying to make some non-existent point is worth getting your shoes dirtied over then best of luck.
