    Sorry, too arcane for me. 'The vig'? Eh?

    Ah, thanks for the clarification. For a moment when reading the link I had a nightmarish flashback to double maths with Brother Duignan.

    Belated ''Happy Birthdays''

    If you can't wish the bloody person ''happy whatever'' on their birth date......Then why leave it for the next day??

    I'm not a fan of birthdays, but I get infuriated with the above.

    People who hang things from curtain rails inside widows.

    My wife does this. I can't open or close curtains without stupid little wind chimes and things on strings clattering and jangling at me. I've banned them, but they keep reappearing!
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Not really a pet hate but why is it that when you see a hub cap lying at the side of the road it's always from a Vauxhall?

    It was Brother Edmund for me. Never saw the point of maths beyond the basics. I mean life is short, why would you want to spend it doing that? Some odd people about.
