Stupid little things that bug you

[TheCentralScrutinizer]

There's a resteraunt near me called Albert's, it's on the east lancs road in Swinton, it has an M27 postcode, which is the postcode for, you guessed it....Swinton.

It is a resteraunt in Swinton.

But they insist in calling themselves Albert's of Worsley. It isn't in Worsley you pretentious, lying bastards. Really winds up.

used to see a girl about 20 years ago...whenever she was introduced to someone she'd say she was from Worsley.....she lived in Little fuckin Hulton.....

When Kiwis say, "I need to scrub my deck".

Is it a euphemism?

It doesn't need to be when they say it. It's just one of those words they shouldn't be allowed to say.

Beth Rigby on Sky News is obviously an intelligent woman and is a good reporter/interviewer but her slovenly use of English gets on my nerves to the point where I just can't listen to her any more and have to switch to another news channel. She drops the 'g' on every word with 'ing' in it, Thinkin, discussin, testin, waitin, meaninful, etc. I can just about put up with her saying things like battew (battle) and hospitaw but not dropping g like that.

Many of these speaking mannerisms seem to be adopted by females no matter how intelligent educated or well off rather than the males of the species. Examples not only dropped 't' and 'g' , dropped 'h' but the letter itself being pronounced 'haitch'. Ordinary sentences sounding like questions because the end is lifted Aussie style. Stress being put on final syllables and 'at all' being pronounced a-TALL!!.
Both genders seem to start sentences with 'so' especially the medical and business experts interviewed on the news recently.
If you think the lockdown is weighing heavy still, at least there are few interviews with players and managers who reply to all questions with 'Yes, no, yes' which was used to show how thick the Vicky Pollard character was. Harry Kane is particularly bad at it as is his England manager.

I was in the Co-op today. Patiently standing on one marker after another in the queue, like you do. But this young woman kept pushing forward and standing within a foot of me. Every time I moved to the next marker, so did she, like she was my girlfriend or something.

Normally, at my age, I'd be flattered. In present circumstances I kept thinking "Stupid cow - stupid cow!"

I almost expected her to follow me out and get in the fucking car.

Should've pinched her arse.

Near me, there’s a long standing rugby club called Bowdon RUFC. It’s not in Bowdon (Bowdon is on the other side of Altrincham town centre), it’s on the Timperley side of Clay Lane at the back of the Broomwood council estate.

Even more annoyingly, immediately next door to this, a gym opened up last decade on the same side of Clay Lane as the rugby club. They called themselves Hale Country Club and Spa.

Again, it’s not in Hale, it’s in Timperley, also at the back of the Broomwood council estate, and not in the countryside (so why call itself “Country Club”?).

And further, frustratingly, on the gym’s website it describes itself as being “in the heart of Cheshire” when Timperley (and Bowdon and Hale too) is in Trafford.

So on the Timperley side of Clay Lane there is Bowden RUFC and Hale CC&S (“in the heart of Cheshire”), in Trafford, Greater Manchester, within the continuous Manchester conurbation.

Did they knock down The Silver Wings club for that gym?
