Stupid little things that bug you

*lol* I have read 2 books since Sunday evening!! Nearly finished the 3rd one as well. But not just going up and downstairs obviously :-) I’m known as a bookworm in the family. I read at every opportunity.

I just downloaded (ahem) all of Stephen King's books..

Have you read any and are they good ?
 
That new phone advert where everyone’s mouths are moving saying “don’t let me go”. It drives me mad.

I read one a long time ago but I’m not in to horror stories.
Detective stories and mysteries: David Baldacci. John Grisham, Ruth Rendell, Richard Osman and Richard Cole.
Plus biographies and autobiographies. Danielle Steel, JK Rowling and lots whose names don’t immediately spring to mind.

I’ve been having a clear out of books, CDs and Videos sending them to charities and books alone I’ve sent 9 large boxes and have still got 3 more bookcases to empty! :-)

I've read all of Grisham, Mitchener, Le Carre, Michael Connelly, Forsyth and a few others. I now read on my big phone so I can read wherever I go.

I don't know when it started but dead people in the US are now called - unalived.

Weirdos!

I think it started from people on youtube, twitch, etc. There's a whole load of stuff you can't say on there or you get demonitised (don't get revenue from people watching your videos/streams) or banned. Hence you get people saying unalive(d) instead of dead, killed, etc. There's a whole load of other words people substitute in order to not get banned/demonitised as well as the usual words and sentiments you'd probably expect to be on a banned words list.

God save us from this semantic madness. Soon we’ll all have to talk in code.
 
Drivers queuing at traffic lights, windows down, music turned up to 11. Often it's the hip-rap-hop rubbish, or whatever it's called, (if it's a lady driver then it's probably Whitney Houston). Car needs to be half a mile away before there's peace again.
