Skegness.

This, and Mablethorpe, and Cleethorpes are not very nice places. Their stations (Well, not Mablethorpe) are not exactly welcoming either :(

Other things I thought of...

Class 14s
PA speakers that are way too loud (MML 170s) or way too quiet (EMT 156s)
Pendolino windows (size of a damn postage stamp!)
class 175's door chimes
'Metro' newspapers
barking dogs

'Metro' newspapers

The Metro paper is quite good for laughing at the **** they come up with, like the Daily Mail. Also for seeing what pathetic drivel they've written about John Smeaton and cancer. I don't see why he should get all the credit for something someone else did.

Another pet peeve: Fakers.

Here's something else that annoys me:
People who call people who may do something differently to other people horrible names, or just generally mock them. (except for veg and stoat calling) If you got to know them instead of trying to put them down, you may find they could help you. If you put them down, your not going to get anywhere.

Agreed..
- Without a doubt the biggest hole on the face of the earth.

- Yes. 3 of the London Bombers were born and bred in England. Just because they are of Asian origin doesn't make them any less British.

maybe because locos are banned from many lines due to their RA? Maybe because they are a lot easier to maintain, and actually, it's only in some countries that they use nearly all loco stock, which is ainly electric (The Neherlands comes to mind - great trains there! Double deck too :lol:)

Don't knock them - might be 20 years old but they're probably in a damned sight better condition than anything newer - by virtue of having been owned by LRT.

No I'm not knocking the Lothian Alexander RH's, I love them, it's just that it makes no sense to put the Excels on the busiest route, and they can get a Double Decker on the route, so it's nothing to do with that.
Every day students clamber to get on the bus, I'm always squashed when everyone runs to the bus to get onto it. It's just not suitable.
Well, it was a nice place before the Conservatives came in. Even the Market Square isn't public land anymore, thats how they brought the Quad in. They didn't do anything with the Magistrates court, which has been empty for ages.

Preserved Railways who are secretive about fares and timetables! I'm supposed to know when loco x is running from A to B, and how much it would cost? Exactly!
People who think I know everything, and ask silly questions that they could be better off typing into google.
The lack of any good TV on!
DAVE ruining the concept of repeating stuff, by repeating the same stuff too often! Especially when decent stuff very rarely gets shown on DAVE!
Cheesy re-makes of decent game shows! All star family fortunes with Vernon Kay....eugh, normal Family Fortunes with Les Dennis was soooo much better!!
The director of Eastenders Diderick Santer, axeing decent characters for no apparent reason, while there are still crap and pointless characters on the show!!

People who think that the appropriate time to board their train is when the guard's given the green to the driver.
Car drivers who believe as they are in a huge 4x4 they are allowed to tailgate/overtake on the inside/not use indicators.
As has been said several times in this thread, Russel Brand.
Vending machines which turn the spinny-thingy just enough not to release your snack, or drinks machines which dispense a crushed cup and spew hot chocolate all over you.
Tautology.
People who Generalise.

Clearly you have very little experience with women.
You don't have to look perfect all the time, but they appreciate the fact you made the effort to look good for them..
