Flicking around on TV the other day and i happened upon an episode of Wheeler Dealers from back in the day. All was going well until the end where they totted up the profit they'd made on some old banger they'd tarted up. We bought the car for £2,000, we spent £800 on a respray, new alloys were £600, etc and we sold it for £10,000 (figures are purely illustrative). What they conveniently forget to mention when declaring their handsome profit is the fully trained mechanic with a garage full of tools and the amount of time he spent on it all.

I think that it's supposed to show what it would cost if you did the work yourself, although he has the help of the ramps and all the tools they generally don't do much that you couldn't achieve on your own driveway...still annoys me too though.

The staff at Currys (or is it Comet) who will not come over to ask if the can help with anything despite there being loads of them milling around doing nothing in particular and one of me looking for assistance. If you want my money come over to me, I'm not walking the entire length of the shop back to the tills to attract the attention of one of you when you're all stood looking at me anyway.

See also 'Put your money where your mouth is', where they buy something for a tenner, drive halfway around England*, make a dozen phone calls and waste three working day, sell it for twenty quid and claim a tenner profit.

*or in one episode I saw, France.

People going on about the clocks changing. It's one fecking hour but from the way that some people go on you'd think they'd just flown back from Australia.

Possibly controversial but John Barnes annoys me at how he whinges the colour of his skin is why he can't get a football manager's job.....

Could it possibly be to do with the fact you failed miserably at Celtic where, let's face it, it's virtually impossible to fail at a club like that. He also failed even more miserably at Tranmere and apparently had completely lost the dressing room.

I just think he's an awful manager, which is why he can't get a job.
