People who can't chew with their mouth closed.

This is not little and extremely annoying. The increase in ageism on Geekzone.

That Companies think that EVERYONE is a FB member, and create a competition where your ONLY choice to enter is via their FB page!

I am sure that they are heartbroken that a competition they have opened to drive facebook interactions will go unentered by people that do not use the platform.

YouTube ads. If I see one more ad for hello fresh I'm going postal!

but the problem is that they give the impression that they only care about certain subscribers and when it comes to deciding to stay or go to another ISP then people remember things like this.

The aphids on my indoor chilli plants are immune to soapy water spray remedy, 100% resistant to pyrethrum, and are breeding faster than I can scrape/brush/wipe them off.  I'm going to have to use a nuclear option.

Holy crap on a cracker you bred mutated super Aphids.  Try planting Chives and Garlic this will draw the Aphids to them.

I bought the bloody chilli seedlings from a nursery - rather than growing from seed - and they must have come pre-loaded with the mutant critters. Meanwhile, the rest of the vege garden outside got completely shredded in the hailstorm a week ago. I just need a plague of locusts to finish it all off, then I'll go to the supermarket like a normal person.

I think by next week, at the rate the little buggers are breeding, there'll be more aphids on the chilli plants than there are stars in the universe.

Ill look into that, one of my waist high hedges has sooty mould, caused by white fly honeydew. Plus my roses are crap, everything is perfect, but didnt look that hard for aphids when I did look

I'll try these, I like natural if it works

Americans measure everything in feet and inches and Fahrenheit and write dates backwards and crash billion dollar probes onto Mars because metric readings make them go d'oh! Why expect them to understand how seasons work?

Just went to pay a speeding fine for my SO and noticed on the posted and printed infringement notice they've added and extra 0 to their account number for internet banking payments.

Accordingly my intrernet banking app didnt accept it and I had to go to their website to discover they have incorrectly stated their account number on the infringement notice.
