things that annoy us

I think, to an extent, it's the fault of the diary owner. We don't want to call our diary "Cherry's diary" so we find interesting names like 'A Cherry's Tome'*. This distracts people from the proper content maybe? 

* For all those non original members, my diary 'A Cherry's Tome' was a play on my original name here. Before becoming 'a muppet', my original name was acherrystone. 

Cherry, if I may ask, why did you change it? 

booking a repair, and then the people who are meant to do it choose 1:45 on a sunday morning to come round

I mean, what makes them think everyone is awake at that time of the morning/ night

Do people use handkerchief nowadays?

Too yechy!

I would hope just "decoratively".

The way supermarkets put a higher price version of a product on the shelves but don't remove the previous (lower price) shelf label.

I thought the next day, after I removed a shelf label on Sunday and threw it out of the way, that maybe I was on camera and they may get iffy at some time as I regularly do this.

Yes .. exactly

Especially together.

taylor swift annoys me

well not really taylor herself, (some of her music is okay, I like anti hero), I just don' like the fact that she is constantly talked about

taylor broke records. taylor's on tour. taylor has a new album. this s what taylor posted on her social media/ give it a break

Ditto but include all celeb gossip passed off as actual news.
I don't care who they sleep with I don't care who they marry what they wear what they eat etc.. they are not newsworthy.

I am with Cassie on this. They should all shut their faces. I respect their expertise in their chosen profession, but they should stay on their own track. Particularly out of politics.

But it is about the media. Kate Bush was famous for 20 years as a recluse. When she did her comeback, she said that she was never reclusive, she just lived the ordinary family lives like the rest of us.

..and that is to where she has returned.

It sounds as if you have settled into your new job.
