Little things that annoy you.

Waiting for a ferry in Norway once, a local youngster was fishing in the harbour. He reeled in a fish - and an entire busload of Japanese tourists wanting selfies with his catch. Unbelievable.
I wonder if Japanese folk ever look at these photos. Tbh I rarely look at 99% ive taken, something more obvious to me in the age of phone cameras.

I do mind as a bairn, folk who done something exotic like going abroad, having slide shows of their snaps :lauff:

I wonder if that still goes on in Japan!

Laying a floor in the hoose next door tae Robert Louis Stevenson's in Heriot Row a few years ago and a bus load of Japanese tourists stopped ootside. Me and my mate posing at the windae wi our nailbags on and shirts off, it was roasting, 40 Jap tourists taking our pictures. 📷

Your lucky they didnae harpoon you. 🙄

Thats why I never go to Porty beach as there may be a Japanese whaling ship in the Forth.

Why do TV reporters use Ukrainian pronunciation for cities in Ukraine? Keeyiv, Kyarkeev etc. They don't refer to Barthelona, Paree or Moonchen. WTF is that all about?
Wouldnae be Moonchen, it would be Myn, er Münc.., eh Muun, eh M... eh aye, wtf is that all about? 🤨

Old reggie Bosanquet used to butcher names regularly. Was always worth watching the news when he was on. One thing that peeves me greatly is Amber weather alerts as it hot. Just tell us what the temperature is going to be and then we will act according ie use sun lotion and drink a bit more fluid. Ministers coming on and lecturing us is just bollocks. My dad fought in the desert in the second world war where it was so hot they fried bacon and eggs on the tanks. Bloody weather alerts. Give me a break from this nonsense.
 
Football managers who talk about "the group" rather than "the squad"....it's just another part of modern footballing terminology that irks me.

"That was a superb strike"...rather than "that was a great shot"....like they used to say.
