Things that irritate the shit out of you

Sounds petty but...

Program instead of Programme
Loose instead of Lose

Plus many other I could mention.  Although I have come to the conclusion that many, not all, Brexiteers use the erroneous spellings.

Sorry glos but I have to say it: that what happens after 10 years of Tory austerity cuts and underfunding the NHS.

Can't disagree with that XM, but it still annoys me. 
If I wanted an argument, I could also include the high number of immigrants who have come into the country in the same time frame, but that's a road I don't want to go down today.

Many of them working in the NHS as doctors and nurses.

It is a simple fact that EU citizens in the UK are net contribuors to the economy; they pay more in tax than they take in benefits or other services. European migrants living in the UK contribute £2,300 more to public purse each year than the average adult, suggesting a net contribution of £78,000 to the exchequer over their lifespan in the UK.

Quoting these figures means nothing to me XM. My point is that such a sudden influx of extra patients has stretched the service, sometimes to breaking point. Same applies to schools, etc.. 
Also, if your talking money, then they are hardly likely to have contributed enough to cover their treatment, considering the short time many have been here. As I've often said, its not always about the money.

It's sad that you refuse to accept factual evidence that any problems with the NHS are not caused by EU immigrants but then brexiteers are never happy with facts are they glos?

It's sad that you have to turn every thread into a Brexit debate.

It's time the mods actually did their job for a change.

It was glos who blamed EU immigrants for him having to wait 3 weeks for a doctors appointment.

So councils closing schools is not the problem then?
NHS clossing units, hospitals is not the problem then?
Councils not insissting on new feeder roads or expansion of main roads is not the problme then?
Government (of all paarties) not aallowing councils to build neew social housing for best part of 30 years is not the problem then?
Government (of all parties) cutting funding to necessary services is not the problem then?

So acccording to you the EU iss to blame for what this country has done wrong itself?

Well thaat is aanother bug=bear of mine when people blame the EU for every little thing that goes wrong in this country when it iss the fault of our own government and councils!

Get off your high horse, along with XM, and actually read what I was saying, instead of looking through your remainer-tinted glasses.
I said that I agreed with XM on many of his points, but one of the influencing factors for the delays in getting an appointment was the pressure on the NHS of a large influx of immigrants in a short period.
Needless to say you've both turned it into yet another anti Brexit rant, when the issue of immigrants affecting the country's infrastructure came about before Brexit
If the two of you actually thought about what was said we wouldn't have loads of links used instead of debate, or someone who is so wound up that they can't even type properly.

The reason I post links is so that anyone with an open mind can look at the evidence and form an opinion. However apparently the remainers on this site never bother looking at evidence and just rely on their prejudices.

Your claim that EU immigrants put a strain on the NHS is contradicted by the evidence you won't even read. Where is the proof to support your allegation? Or is it just prejudice?

Rather than being told how to think by reading every written word I could find, it was the headmistress on complaining on TV that they couldn't cope with so many different languages, abilities, and age spread. maybe you could send her a link to somewhere ?
I don't think you really understand that prejudice comes in many forms, and its not just colour or creed. I would say that you are incredibly prejudiced against anything Brexit, and as a result you no longer think about the comment, but automatically go into overdrive to find something somebody else has said to say against the comment made. To be honest XM, although I have absolutely nothing against you personally, and think you you are an intelligent poster, I no longer tend to take any notice of what you say, because I know what you will say, and I know it will always be against Brexit, regardless. Because of your approach, to me your comments have become irrelevant. Sorry. I have no doubt that on any other topic we could have a conversation, but not this one it seems, and I know we both suffer from this intransigence, (you more than me of course  )

Long Lost Family. Manipulative tv at its worst.

It's fine, unless of course it's played out for the entertainment of others. TV now requires tears.

Many, and often. 

Find your birth mother by all means, but this is something best done privately, not with the world and his wife looking on.

Do you know how much it costs to try and find your birth mother if you were adopted? You can't just walk down to the Town Hall and get a name and address.

You owe this thread an apology.

So tv does it for you. But you must submit to their demands. Manipulative.

Back to things that irritate the shit out of me.
I drove up to our place in Scotland a few days  ago. What pisses me right off is van drivers who park on bridges over the motorway so you don't know whether they are police camera vans or just vans.
 I know you shouldn't do over 70 on the motorways ( and if you say you don't then you're  economical with the truth) but they are a right pain. The M6and M74 was littered with them .

Speed restrictions are there to save lives Rammy.

I hope you don’t speed on residential streets. 

Women who decide it would be a good idea to have a chat in the cheese aisle, blocking the way with their trolley's, then looking upset when I politely ask if I might pass.
And one of them usually has a particularly ugly baby.

Ha ugly babies i once saw a baby sitting up in it's perambulator and it had a full head of hair but much worse it was the spit of Michael Hesseltine hair n all really wierd.

I've always been wary of babies. It stems from the time I had my tonsils out in hospital.

Along one wall of the ward were about 15 cots, containing babies who had all had the same type of 
surgery. Each one of then seemed to have thick black stitching to the side of their head. It looked like boot laces.
It was very unnerving. I never found out what had been done to them.

Trust me, if after years of searching I found out that you were my birth mother I'd be in bloody tears, tv cameras or no tv cameras.
