Whoever came up with that can get in the sea.
It's bad enough those ones where you have to manually uncheck boxes for the various sections,
147 companies have a "legitimate interest" Yeah, right... Chinny reckon.

‘Freed From Desire’, it’s getting as annoying as ‘Sweet Caroline’.

When it first came out and we heard the record on the radio I said to my Mrs can you make out what her lover has got and we came up with he has his trombolease. Never did find out whether it was a help or a hindrance.

Ordering a takeaway away and they put my drink right in-between piping hot food in the bag, resulting in receiving a warm drink.

I’m going to be honest and thought that WAS the lyrics (Google says it’s actually “strong beliefs”!). Also thought the song was “Free From Desire” not “Freed ..” until this topic came up.

Dreadful song.

Funnily enough I thought it was free from desire too. I also googled it to ensure we were talking about the same song before I commented.!

You 3 above ^^^ must be of the early Beatles generation when your grandad would sit there moaning about them.

'What they need is national service'

And a haircut says a voice in the background, I can't understand a word their saying. What's Dove dove me do mean anyway.

(All that was said with the old dears in Monty Python in mind)

All vegetarian meat substitutes that mention the meat. For example Richmond meat free bacon rashers are not bacon- Meat free chicken pieces are not chicken pieces etc etc. and whilst I am
On my high horse almost every restaurant offers vegetarian options on their menu, but vegetarian restaurants don’t return the favour with a meaty corner of the menu.

This captures perfectly the theme. No meat in veggie cafes? Whatever next?

People who buy crates of bottled water from the supermarket when they have taps full of the stuff at home

Pedants who say things like: it’s the pipes that are full of water, not the taps.

They’re now playing this bloody awful song at the Women’s Rugby World Cup. It’s sodding everywhere and it’s maddening.

AI on what seems to be every youtube thumbnail and followed by an AI voice and generated AI scenes.

Youtube need to crack down on it or it's going to damage their platform.

Clothing sizes why can't they just be standard ?
L= 42/44
Xl= 44/46 etc etc.

Pump City coat is a media and its huge, yet my City 125yr badged bomber jackets is XXL and is to small on me

The matchday thread suggests many City fans have TV remotes without mute buttons.

Also people who finish words with" a "YAR" or a "CHAR" sound. Procedure becomes "Proced-yar, adventure becomes "Advent-char, lecture becomes "Lec-char and so on..

Yes. Absolute wan-kars.

Watching a film sequence where the actor (usually male and American) is having a meal and noisily stuffing food into his mouth and slurping a drink at the same time.
Is it part of "Method Acting" or simply poor table manners?

The England team are amazing. The open side prop is a bulldozer, the right winger is a bit quick. The stand off is calm and smart. The rolling maul is a massive weapon. Who can stop them?

Equally annoying are those socks that say size 6-13. End up fitting nobody other than I assume, someone sized 9.5.

For some strange reason I find myself mimicking them out loud to who ever I am with at the time. Can’t seem to stop myself and I also tend to mimic someone talking too posh.
