The summer is here and a lucky few are heading off to foreign beaches for a couple of weeks, whilst the rest of us who aren't so affluent will have to settle for a few days in a campsite somewhere in the UK.

Perhaps it's just me getting old, but what's with this new craze of having a kids trampoline in your back garden? Does anyone else feel that trampolines are an intrusion of privacy or is it just me?

Football, the players, managers and fans
This gripe is probably going to annoy a lot of people but it's got to be done! Football (especially in England) really gets on my nerves and because it's everywhere, all the time.

Verbal abuse shouted at football players

Adelaide bars and clubs
Here's my gripe about dress codes in bars and nightclubs. In the city where I live (Adelaide), I am restricted to just three bars where I can go out for a drink. I find it extremely annoying that I am refused entry to the other venues.

Real Chelsea football fans or not?

English football hooligans
I guess I have thought this for some time now, but you're all just a bunch of hooligans aren't you?  I'm referring of course to English football, and in some cases rugby too.

Charity skydive but who pays?
Last year I did a charity skydive and naturally sent them all the money I raised. However, I have since discovered that some people use the sponsorship money to pay for their jump. I think this is simply terrible and possibly even dishonest.
