yes!!
I would add to this people who appear to like obscure/unknown bands purely for the purposes of showing off how "cool" or "hip" they are and claim they've known about them for ages as if that merits some kind of extra credit.

I love discovering music I've never heard before regardless of how well known the band is to other people. Christ, in the last couple of months I've been initiated to Deus and Ride, two well established bands I'd just never listened to before. As you say, it's all about sharing. You give me some of your music, i'll give you some of mine, there are no winners.

People telling me the score when I'm trying to find out myself, you're ruining the suspense of the BBC text commentary!

The Toxic Distortion bassist of all people did that to me about steel panther! just wanted to gloat about how he's been listening to them for three years and that everyone who just heard Death to All But Metal are a bunch of posers pretending they like glam. He didn't actually believe me when i told him they were a parody though which made my year.

I'd been wearing a jumper and a t-shirt the past couple of days, so to be down to just the t-shirt was a bonus. It was chillier than I'd been hoping for though

Aberdeen Box Office's phone system. Fucking shit.

Spent over an hour trying to get through for Billy Connelly tickets this morning then I gave up and walked to the box office to find they'd already sold out. Fuckers.

They should've put some online or install a better call handling system so you can queue instead of having to hit redial all the time

Seagulls nesting on the roofs in my street and squawking all fucking night and keeping me awake.

To add financial stress to this situation, I have to pay guys to clean the foliage that grows out of their muck from my roof before winter or my gutters back up in the rain and I get leaks.

Bastards.

Seagulls should be culled.

Bunch of thieving, inconsiderate gypsies.

I'm going to write to the council to see if we can get them removed on the grounds that they make a fucking mess and keep everyone awake, however i'm sure they won't be willing or able to do anything.

Save your breath, they are a protected species so they can't be touched.
