And, if that’s you, you’ve probably lost the will to remain angry at the big issues in life: politics, taxes, the economy, and the gross incompetence of every organisation you have the misfortune of dealing with on a day-to-day basis.No, once you’ve reached middle age, and that sense of acceptance and mild indifference has sunk in, you need to find new and inventive ways to get that regular fix of rage. For us, and I’m sure many of you, it’s not too hard to secure your rage hit when confronted with the daily barrage of trivial annoyances.And so, dear listeners, we have decided to catalogue those daily annoyances in this very podcast. After barely ten minutes of thought, we’ve already amassed enough material for approximately eight thousand four hundred episodes. We feel it's our duty to share those annoyances with you in our cynical but mildly amusing style. Those annoyances include, but are not limited to…- Lazy grammar- Facebook Marketplace- Garage doors- Four-syllable first names- Toasters- Hotel showers- Branston Pickle- That one individual at work who just gets on everyone's t**s. Oh, and just for the record, we will NOT be discussing those subjects that are a waste of everyone’s ire, so if you’re hoping to hear us moan about politics or cultural issues, this might not be the podcast for you. This is not Question Time.

Ep. 8 - Only Morning Fools and Courses
Philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre once argued that “Hell is other people.” but we reckon Satra was misquoted - it's more likely he said, "Hell is morning people." Our rage is also aimed at the proliferation of online courses, particularly those that claim you can achieve great things without any God-given talent.Join Adam Eccles and Keith A Pearson as they highlight the trivial triggers of midlife angst.

Ep. 7 - Sock Sizing Strain, Recycling Pain
Feet come in all shapes and sizes, so why do sock manufacturers only give us two sizes to choose from - too bloody big or too bloody small?And, with Ireland launching one of the most convoluted recycling schemes in Europe, are some ideas on saving the planet more likely to make us red with rage, rather than green?

Ep. 5 - Bottling Blues, Spammy News
