Still don't like that. Cream crackers, other cheesy biscuits, digestives etc all have got to go in separate tins. Still. No biggie, really. We put the whole packet in a sandwich bag and clip the top.

Tins that still require tin-openers......hello, it's the 21st Century. I think there must be a practical reason for that. Soup, no tin opener required, beans, tin opener, and you get bean juice all over the top of the can and your hands as well (because the last bit never gets cut and you have to pull it off, so to speak. |

Devices that change the words of your post for you without a by or leave.
Even more irrtitating is the hurried 'edit' when you realise the thing is incomprehensible.

My devices usually allow me to post exactly what I've typed, thus necessitating one of those quick edits.
(Though the unwarranted changing that one of them does is annoying.)

Those containers, bottles and little tubs, that contain prescription medication and require a qualification in engineering to open. Esther Rantzen is responsible for this, on "That's Life" she highlighted irresponsible parents who left their medication lying around for children to get into

Boy racers who roar around, especially between buildings, with exhausts that emit deafening decibels. Similarly drivers of open top cars with the sound system at full volume

Thing is, now we have those containers that have the whole week's pills lined up in handy compartments - Breakfast, dinner, tea, bedtime, A kid wouldn't last 5 minutes in our flat - first off, the William Burroughs books, then trying to find the stuff they've just been reading about in my pill container (they'll be lucky  ). |

My moan of the day just now is not being able to go into my garden because neighbours are besotted with outdoor cooking. Worse, the fact that in spite of shutting all the windows facing the garden the reek of burning fat and smoke somehow penetrates into the house. Sometimes I am sitting in the front of the house when I become aware of the smell and then need to go around shutting windows but too late to stop what to me is a horrible smell all over the house. Am I alone in feeling aggrieved at the loss of my garden? To be able to sit outside enjoying the evening scent of a garden is wonderful and I am no longer able to have this pleasure.  |
