The colour grey.

Let’s face it, it’s the colour of Scotland and the saltire should be really be a white cross of St Andrew on a grey background - no doubt that’s what the sky actually looked like when King Angus prayed for hauners against the Saxons.

A dispiriting colour, or shade, or whatever it is. Grey skies, grey buildings and roads, grey grey grey.

So it particularly does my head in when people choose to wear grey clothes - sophisticated apparently - or paint their doors or woodwork in that battleship grey that has sprung up, or just generally add more grey where we absolutely need no further additions.

Grey - get it in the bin.
 
Grey. Yep. Emulsion. Gloss. Wallpaper. Light grey. Dark grey. Greenish grey. Blueish grey.

The shade card is the new 50 shades of grey.

Tis indeed bland.

Holland just had 13 straight days of no sunshine, first time since 1993 or so.

This blessed little piece of reclaimed land known as 'koude kikkerland' (cold frog land) to the locals, also has greyness and drabness worked into the very place names, nearly all of which have to do with water, mud, silt, marshes, polders, dams and what's inside and what's outside the dams, weirs, and 50 different words for water.

Wat er country indeed.

So keep the Saltire blue and I will get them to change the footy orange to grey here!

Russians. At least the ones using Thailand as a bolt hole. Hold a door open for them, stand aside to let them past, don't expect a thank you or even a nod of appreciation, they just walk right on by without even catching your eye. Bunch of *&*^.

Bastards. I had told myself to ignore them but my inner good guy won out today. I stood back to let a pregnant Russian lady and her husband through a door first. There was no need as I was a good bit in front of them. Both sailed past without a word or a glance. Arrogant *&*^. It's well known in Thailand anyway this behaviour is commonplace. Did I mention they were *&*^. I hope Putin sends out snatch squads to take the fuckers home. See how arrogant they'll be in a trench.

I could have continued but I stopped myself here's another 10

Only having one toilet in the house- get in, and out. Nope. We have to spend hours in there and when you finally come out, some other person as gone in to check their hair.

Having a blocked nose

People that asked while your on holiday it turns out "do you do the fantasy football mate"

My wife who continually moves my things

Marathons

M8

Driving in Glasgow

Can I have your shirt signs

People that leave passive aggressive notes on your car about parking outside their house- it's the street, you can park where you want on the STREET!

Anything Maroon

NO!!! It's New year, or happy new year, or xmas and new year. Stop with the S!
I blame the yanks.

Maybe. I do see it a lot over here on the Thai ex pat forums. Mostly Yanks as I said. Very irrational but really bugs me.
Hey Beagle, is Yanks text speak? And it'll always be xmas for me.
