NO doubt I'm not the only one who is absolutely sick to the teeth of football on TV - and the lack of decent competition on the other channels.

I've even resorted to watching Ceefax "It makes me mad - or life's little irritations" sent in by viewers - on page 576.

They're not hilarious, but better than the alternatives. Some examples I agree with follow:

Elderly people who drag two wheel buggies across your ankles without saying sorry

People who have to dress up for their hobby ie golf, cycling, cricket

People carrying umbrellas who think they have right of way on the pavement

Those who ride bikes on the footpath and ring the bell to get you out of the way.

People who wear lime green or orange shirts

Etc, etc.etc.

But my biggest annoyances are kids screaming, the noise of souped up motorbikes, and there being no decent alternatives to footie on the box!

What's yours. Write to me at Sez Les, The Journal, 44-46, Railway Road, Leigh, WN7 4AT or email me on mryding@lancashire.newsquest.co.uk
