Stupid little things that bug you

[Blue Mist]

Sky News employs Shingi Mararike who routinely comes out with "free fousand", "vis", "vat", "togevver" "finking", etc. It's bad enough with Beth Rigby and her "thinkin", "doin", "discussin", etc. without another clown broadcasting in slovenly English on the same national TV station. The pair of them are both irritating and unlistenable.

Correction. Its Beff Rigby

Jus sayin

I really do grimace whenever I hear people say "Twenny" instead of twenty. It is now becoming prevalent, even with BBC presenters. I was watching athletics on the BBC last weekend and before the start of the 200 meters race, the commentator was giving all the athlete's best times. He must have said "Twenny" about thirty times in as many seconds.

Also, why do some athletes make silly gestures when being announced to the crowd?

It’s pronounced “twe’eh” you posh ****.

Those who buy 1 drink in the likes of Costa Coffee and then set up a work station for the next 2 hours taking up 2 tables. You almost feel you should be whispering to your other half so as not to disturb their very important video conference or telephone call.

People who say ‘pee’ instead of ‘pence’, even Martin Lewis says it and he should know better.

The word ‘snag’.

Used to have a mate called Snag. We all called him that for many years, died not too long ago.

Martin Lewis started a website over here to give advice on financial matters and now has a show on ITV plus presents breakfast TV on there. He’s a City fan.

Ahh OK, just when I saw Martin Lewis I remembered him reading the news back in the 80's, is he still around ?

I think so. Funny though it never clicked with me that they had the same name (bar one letter) weird!

Anyway, they were taken down and I haven't been able to start another one since.
Can anyone help?
