Things that annoy you more than they should

Men driving and wearing flat caps.

You forgot leather driving gloves as well, à la Alan Partridge.

Every time I park in one of the angled parking spaces outside Killay Co-Op it seems someone driving one of those long wheelbase vans slides into the next spot down. When it's time for me to leave I can see bugger all and have to reverse out into the main road at a snail's pace.

Tip for you, always reverse into parking spaces.

Would that be unusual then?

I guess not!

But when you read about the Polar Vortex becoming unstable, it seems to add a lot more certainty to it.?

I'm just playing the amateaur weatherman here, but in all honesty, i did read a bit read a little bit about the Polar Vortex, shortly before I made that post, it just came up on, one of the trending searches on google. Quite fascinating really what happens when it collapses, or even slightly unstable, in a nutshell once it collapses it pushes all the cold air towards USA and Europe within a week or so. IIRC from reading it, that's how we had the Beast From The East a little while back.

Edit: Just a quick edit, and this is google Ai current take on things with the Polar Vortex at the moment, this is just a copy and paste, not my words.

As of late January 2026, the Arctic polar vortex is undergoing a major disruption, characterized by a significant weakening and splitting into two distinct lobes. This rare, high-impact fragmentation allows cold, Arctic air to spill into lower latitudes, signaling a high likelihood of severe cold snaps for Europe and the US in early February.

They are absolutely appalling, you are driving looking down at the road instead of straight ahead. Brand new cars are costing 40k plus , and yet are being driven on glorified dirt tracks.

Just getting worse and worse. The motorways always used to be a decent standard, they’re are just as shocking.

Absolute piss take, they simply don’t care about motorists is my impression

Or cyclists, I wouldn’t fancy riding a bike, with the current state of the roads.

They should stay on the cycle paths, the lycra clad c***s.

Cycling on the Mumbles road towards Mumbles, slowing traffic down , when there's an empty cycle lane above them. They think they are in the tour de France.
