Stupid little things that bug you

[Stephen Ireland's pants]

Young females crossing the road with prams. They stand on the kerb waiting, but put the fucking pram IN the road. What the fuck is that about?

It's a pretty dangerous game to play but pedestrians should have right of way at T junctions. I cross two busy one's taking my daughter to school and I would say about 1% of driver's give way and let us cross. The school run is a terrible time on the road's. Women with kids in cars while doing makeup speeding. Seen it all

Thankyou (or should that be thank you?) I did not know that. Usually there is a red underscore to let me know when a word is incorrect. I do try to be accurate, :-(

He or she or they are not 100% correct. The word(s) come from “reading the proof” where proof is a test print of a newspaper page before going to final print. It would have been originally two words, then hyphenated but can now be one word but the original two styles aren’t incorrect, yet. I don’t like this trend of keep making longer words so prefer to hyphenate.

Alan Shearer on MOTD referring all the time to someone called "Trent". I looked at the team line-ups andcouldn't find anyone with the surname Trent. Even newspaper headlines say "Trent will be firing on all cylinders", or some such crap.

I don'r remember Shearer going on all the time about Kevin, Erling or Riyad. If his name's too long, just call him Arnold.

And “Bruno”.

And Carragher still not being able to pronounce "Gundogan", even though he's now played in the PL for 7 years and is an established German international.

He’s not the only one. I think it’s more to do with his first name being one syllable not shared by any other top player and his surname being such a mouthful. Rather than any sort of implied familiarity.

I’m a generous person. I was happy to give anybody a few weeks grace when the story first broke.

But people who are still incapable of discussing anything Ivan Toney does without adding, “ Bet he had a bet on that” at the end.

 

[Cellarite]

People using "won" instead of "beat".

For example - City won Liverpool 4-1 on Saturday.

Siliconing the bathroom. My absolute worst DIY job, hate it with a passion. Being a perfectionist I can never get it spot on and perfectly smooth. End up like Father Ted trying to fix that Ford Cortina "you will never get it...spot on".

To be fair he has trouble with the Queens English let alone Turkish surnames.
