I quite like some of the YouTube videos so I signed up for the year. £200 for about an hour. Shame really, I need the lessons.

My savile row suits fit perfectly, no belt needed, I don't know what the issue is. 

If you care enough to have a nice suit then you should care enough to wear a belt. If it has belt loops there should be a belt in them. Debretts says so.

No belt loops.... as my tailor says, why would you need belt loops when the suit is made to fit you perfectly!

Nissan Juke drivers. What's wrong with them? Why are they all such terrible drivers with no awareness of what's going on around them?

If Im on my motorbike, I will always be extremely cautious around them and expect the worst of them. 

 

That's Quishquosh drivers. Totally oblivious to their surroundings. Juke drivers aren't quite as bad.

If we are on trousers length, then the daft fashion for deliberately short trousers. It seems to be on the wane, thankfully. I like a jazzy sock as much as the next man and a small viewing window is fine but these things that look like they shrank in the wash make me unnecessarily irritated.

 

You must be relieved that Rishi Sunak is no longer on television.

Having driven a Nissan Juke as a hire car I find it to be an utterly horrible car to drive, so whatever's wrong with them it started before they bought their car.

For many reasons, yes. I also find smugness, paper thin faux 'man of the people' schtick and rich people being hypocrites irritating. But they are all rational, so they don't belong here.

People who name their guitars and then ask me to participate. What's she called? 'Well I haven't assigned a gender and it's a @&#£?!# fender jazz'. (BB King gets a pass).

I think that assigning gender to an instrument is the irrational thing.

So I'd classify your item as a rational prejudice against an irrational trend!

As a biker, the same goes for motorbikes. They are machines, they may have some character but they do not need a name. 

I used to be in a Jaguar car owners group. One lady referred to her Jag as her growler. I suggested she might want to look up what growler can also mean. She never called it that again.

I heard that in the 70s when Cliff Richard was in the studio one of his session guitarists had a Big Muffin pedal and Cliff said "that'd be a great name for the alubm" and someone had to expliain to him, quietly, at the back of the studio what it meant and he went a bit quiet.

Mudhoney just went for it anyway and its a classic.

Un-trimmed strings on guitars. Resulting in string ends dangling off at eye-poking height.

"Growler" was the official name for the bonnet emblem up until the JJ rebrand in 2024. Let's hope Elon Musk doesn't buy Jaguar, he'd bring back the "Swallow Sidecars" name and the "SS" emblem.
