Misplaced … ‘duff-duff equivalents,’ for want of a better turn of phrase, on Corrie. Unlike EastEnders, Weatherfield folk are still yet to consistently master the act of a sharp duff that packs a punch. Some of the “cliffhangers” on Corrie just do not make sense. And yet they wonder why EastEnders is known for being more edgy and gritty.

“Classic” Corrie (2006, a decidedly mediocre year anyway) has so many limp cliffhangers it makes a mockery of the show.

People ruining the pub.-garden atmosphere with lots of sniffing (from snotty noses and snorting coke), sneezing and spitting. It’s just gross, and irritating the way some people bring repulsive noise with them wherever they go, smug grin to boot. It’s often the same lads, over and over. Every time. Sneezing like it’s a competition of premium snotiness, spitting for sport. Mood? Killed. Keep your farts, sneezes and spit to yourself.

Uber drivers who don’t know the way and ask you for directions, as-if that ain’t their job.

The way Jamaicans/Caribbeans pronounce plantain (as “plan-tin”) is a niche little rivalling niche and it’s at no real risk of being a genuine irritant but I dunno. It just sounds wrong.

What about the way some non-whites say …

No.

People taking your seat (that you marked with belongings) at the pub and not even feeling sorry about it. The entitlement of certain drunks is excruciating.

The way egusi soup gets salty so easily. Uziza spruces it up. Any more salt than you need after adding the likes of crayfish and stockfish/okporoko (salty, to varying degrees, in themselves; sef, Maggi, too) spoils it.

There isn’t a demand for them, I’d suggest


We get one every year or so when the fair comes to town ( usually autumn time for some reason )

You can buy coconut milk just about anywhere

I was going for fresh coconut for a reason. So mentioning pre-processed coconut milk is useless to me and just another bit of daft coming from you. I’m not gonna wait for the fair to come to town.

Go and face your beautiful women.

Igbos generally cook better than Yorubas (although party jollof is more of a Yoruba stronghold in terms of consistency, especially within Nigeria itself) but I ain’t down with it when Igbos gate-keep efo (riro) and skimp on the tomatoes because “Igbos never use tomatoes to cook any soup, unless tomato-paste is a substitute for palm oil.” Just eat the efo with rice if it’s that pressing to you. That’s option. Just like rice and egusi. Rice and steamed vegetables (amaranth, ugu, spinach). It don’t have to be pounded yam if the tomato-bit puts you off eating it as ofe. It’s … not about tribalism. It’s about authenticity.

ITVX trigger-warn-coding episodes of Emmerdale featuring cannabis as “drug-referential,” when one of the most notorious drugs of them-all (alcohol) is almost like the foundation of these soaps. The over-reliance on alcohol is an irritant at the best of times but the way they insist on flogging anti-drugs narratives amidst copious amounts of beer and wine, and the hypocritical moralising that comes with it, gets me skipping bare scenes. It’s unwatchable to me.

Instigators of narcissistic abuse not understanding the seriousness of what they do and how they treat people. (Big-ting, still.)

Yep, Redway’s definitely back.

Narcissism feels like it's on the rise.

Some of the comments on the “Liverpool: Then and Now” Facebook-page, where it’s giving misplaced nostalgia. Some people would say that a pile of soot surrounded by rats and poor orphan-children looks better than the more modern rendering.

I took the FC to a local comic con recently, and he entered the cosplay competition with a homemade costume. All the "placed prizes" went to people with shop bought costumes with no customisation or anything, while the people who made costumes didn't get anything.

So yeah that's today's gripe, people winning (or even entering tbh) cosplay contests with bought jobbies.

…’FC’…?…ahhh yeah, I do feel your irritation with that…even at very young ages/a similar-ish thing is when it’s obvious that a child’s entry in something creative has had much parental/adult intervention……and if it wins over another entry or other multiple entries where the child has been the main source of the creativity…that’s an irritation of mine, but thankfully doesn’t happen too often so much….and those prizes that are given for Halloween costume dress up if the costume is ‘off the shelf’ with little or no personal additions and enhancements etc…just no individuality…very sad and disappointing for those who have spent a long, long time…(..and for their moms if they’ve also spent a long, long time…)…

‘Wanna finish my pint?’

Sentiment appreciated but unless you’re family (and even then I’m not so sure), I don’t really wanna drink something with your saliva in it. I’m never gonna be that thirsty. You’ll have to buy me one outright if you want to treat me to some liquid. I’d rather that liquid not be saliva and bits of spit, naturally. I ain’t cool with that. Your backwash is yours, just for you.

On that note

Fans are complaining about the crazy costs of beer / lagers in the stadiums holding the World Club Championship !!


The US ‘pints’ are 80% of a UK pint but cost $21 each glass !!!
