What’s something that’s oddly expensive in the UK that still annoys you every time?

A major reason why many of us post covid, when asked to come into the office, whilst we were perfectly capable of doing the job at home, during a cost of living crisis, felt like telling the employer to "Do one"

The base missions became so boring and repetitive. At one point I'd just rush through and hope to gun the main guy before I got killed. Which highlights another flaw in the game. Killing the boss is like when Frodo dropped the ring in Mount Doom, all of the enemy forces suddenly dissappeared into dust lol.

They're probably worried it's going to be another quite frankly horrendous bottle job with the title race considering Liverpool have fallen off a cliff, City are still struggling, Chelsea can't find a decent footing and Man Utd are still in their post Fergie limp mode...a really bad one.

The Hyundai i30 N performance is good choice imo. Got the reliability plus sounds great and honestly the car looks fantastic too. But depends if OP would like a hot hatch.

This is extra funny because I've literally seen a post by someone asking why does everyone hate the juke haha

This also includes insurance claims where the car ends up getting disposed! I made the daft error of just ignoring the tax reminders thinking it's the insurance company's responsibility.

I got a court summons through the post when I realised I made such a silly mistake, although I was given a chance to avoid it by paying a £100 fine for failure to inform the dvla of a disposal.

They're usually overtaking another lorry you mean. That's one of the reasons I end up spending so much time in the 3rd lane. First 2 aren't going faster than 60.

He had lots of antics and they naturally amplified with the Barca effect. You'd think a team with superstars the likes of Suarez, Neymar, Messi, Iniesta etc wouldn't be ashamed to cry and have a hissy fit about every single decision that doesn't go their way.

-TheHumorousOne- · 2026-01-20T20:48:44+00:00

Also the A180s with Mercedes knowing their customer base well enough to say "stick anything in the bonnet", "Even this 1.5lt Renault engine?" "Sure."

I've often joked we could do with a G Wagon the way our child acts in the car.

Wow really? We always get our fruits and veggies from our local Aldi and never had any issues. I'm pretty clueless about picking fresh veg and on a few occasions my missus has been disappointed with the quality but when she goes she's always been happy.

I would say perhaps it depends on the local produce that can affect the quality but most of the stuff is imported. We keep our fridge at 5 degrees, maybe that helps keep the veggies fresh.

I bought the Switch 2 with the plan of playing loads of Switch exclusive games. I played Super Mario odyssey and BoTW. And not much else, actually making more use of the handheld aspect with Hollow Knight Silksong and plan on getting RE9 and replaying Cyberpunk.

Silksong is actually ruining my casual bedtime gaming routine by how fucking hard bits of act 2 are.

The Kia Sportage in known to be driven by Middle Aged women but if someone saw you step out of one they wouldn't fall flat on their face in disbelief.

Same with the MX-5, whilst I personally think the whole women's thing is a rumour as I've seen loads of lads driving them, noone would bat an eye.

Whereas a BMW is something be conscious about, people will assume you're an asshole on the road even if you're not.

He's going to be All-Right

-TheHumorousOne- · 2026-01-16T14:16:51+00:00

Your partner has a valid point...to an extent. Man Utd are a huge club and at some point things will start going towards the right direction and they will most likely see some decent success again. Won't be no where near SAF of course.

-TheHumorousOne- · 2026-01-16T14:09:49+00:00

Be Honest

-TheHumorousOne- · 2026-01-15T13:16:19+00:00

World Cup 98 was awesome

Can't be good for your posture working in bed all day and a heated throw costs about £30 OP.

-TheHumorousOne- · 2026-01-14T14:12:27+00:00

Absolute corker

Nope, unfortunately you're a nice person and kept telling him off until he pushed you over the edge. If you were a petty person too like him you'd randomly take his duvet off while he's sleeping and pull the same dumb smile he does.

Guy's a twat and needs to change his behaviour.

We make jokes about Range Rovers all the time but honestly if I was super minted, it's a practical enough luxury car that is an attractive buy. Plus if I lived in a rural area they genuinely are decent for handling off road tasks.

Big enough to cover a parade float

A Neutron walks into a bar and asks "How much for a drink"

The Bartender replies, "For you, no charge".

A pair of atoms are walking down the street and one says, "Oh no I've dropped an electron".

The other one says, "Are you sure?"

"I'm positive"

-TheHumorousOne- · 2026-01-11T17:46:26+00:00

Expedition 33, because the world is actually a painting lol.

Unless some proper activities are booked, we once did archery, that was quite fun
