Stupid little things that bug you

Then the deranged gerbils wave at themselves on the screen rather than at the cameras.

The Deranged Gerbils were they a pop group? your description made me laugh. :-)

I use gerbil as a generic insult when I don't feel foul and abusive is in order.

I cringe when I hear a parent using industrial language against a small child. I never swore at my kids when they were growing up and still don't, even now as adults.
I was in a supermarket yesterday and overheard a woman trying to control a misbehaving boy (6 or 7 I guess)... "Will you stop f...ing around with that trolly, you'll hit somebody".
I live close to a primary school and often hear the kids as they pass by, swearing at each other.
I recall a time (many moons ago) when it was rare to hear a women swear and frowned upon for a man swore in front of a woman.

I find blokes repetitively swearing completely unnecessary too.
At the match on Saturday I overheard a bloke using the "f" word as every other word in a normal conversation.
I'm not a prude or anything but what's the point of industrial language if you don't use it sparingly?
I'm usually a positive sort of chap, but people can definitely tell when I'm pissed off when I use a well placed expletive.

Trees etc. obscuring roadsigns or traffic lights.
And smart motorways....

The hassle of setting up a new laptop, especially if you do not want to use Edge and ******* McAfee. Singularly inflexible, modern PCs.

Had a mate from Barnsley who pronounced fruit as ‘froo-it’, and the tins of fruit in juice as ‘froo-it in joo-iss’.

Don't forget yer 'coyt'

 

[blue cigar]

Mods using a personal agenda to thread ban people

Just had a chap call round to repair the washing machine. I'm paying them good money, so why do these guys (boiler service, decorators etc), all give the impression that they are doing me a favour. Telling me "I'm so busy" , "Need a break, "Mrs wants a holiday" and so on.

A bit like my ‘Apple Watch’ that, time to stand up/ooh I’ve noticed your step count today isn’t quite what it should be/you’ve climb one more flight of steps today than you did 9 days ago/you’ve had 3 wanks today, that’s enough for anybody etc etc etc.

I call it Shirley, after my Mam.

I agree with this, the last two HP laptops I have had seem to be unable to get rid of Edge and that fucking AI Bing shit... I just want google as my automatic IE, but these things deem programmed to stop you having this easily. Fucking hate it.

There’s one football pundit (think it might be Jamie O’Hara) who pronounces ‘Bellingham’ as ‘Bellinum’, had to turn it over in the end.

Jill Scott definitely says Bellinum.

It will be underwater by the end of the century when the sea levels rise a little more. Unfortunately that will mean loads of Scouse refugees wanting to settle elsewhere.

How about Rwanda?

If you don't swear at the kids when they grow up they will know fuck all.

You can set up Edge to have Google as the home and new tab pages.

Slightly disturbing that your mam knew how many wanks you'd had
