Things that are, frankly, a load of old sh*t

Booking fees.

You don't walk into a shop and get charged a fee for purchasing an item, you pay the price you see, why should tickets be any different?

Turkish DELIGHT

Oh stop being SILLY

Coffee pods.... especially when a supposedly decent restaurant charge you a small fortune for an 'espresso' made from one at the end of your meal.

It's even worse when you go into a cafe, ask for a Cappuccino and they put a cup under a machine and press the "Cappuccino" button.

Sorry it's fact.

Newton's 4th law (not as well known as the first three): Turkish Delight is a load of old SHIT.

It's true. Any food pretentious enough to call itself "delight" is always going to be terrible.

Turkish Delight is APPALLING.

On a sausage related note:

Amex hot dogs

Beef sausages

Anyone who puts ketchup instead of brown sauce on a sausage sandwich

Because the vendor does not recieve any profit on the transaction. You could argue that the promoter should price the ticket to include a standard vendor cut but that might mean that less vendors will sell the tickets. I did get caught out on something dispicable buying from seetickets the other day where they automatically opt you in to "cancellation insurance." Now correct me if I'm wrong but if the gig (£7 ticket in this instance) is cancelled then I get refunded don't I, why would I pay £1 on top to guarantee this. The auto opt in is ridiculously cynical as well, you can very easily miss unchecking the box.

However, I really don't understand why the Albion should be charging booking fees on their own tickets that they sell themselves. That one has always got me.

I can understand people not liking the generic rose water Turkish delight flavour but there are so many others.

Some of the proper ones I had in Turkey last year with honey and coconut were just amazing.

CAMPING.

No TV, no beds, terrible showers, walking over dewy fields to the bog, surrounded by people pretending to enjoy themselves.

Abject misery masquerading as a holiday.

The "change gear" lights in modern cars.

I can take a guess at someone you might be thinking of when you say that
