Stupid little things that bug you

[normskih]

If you never ended up in Foo Foo's on a night out, you've never lived. Same with Bernard's Embassy Club.

They were a rite of passage for any Mancunian lad, and quite a few lasses.

As I put earlier, I had many a good night at Foo Foo’s but never went to the Embassy Club, being the south side of Manchester, it was a bit far for a night out but I did see Bernard Manning at our Labour Club one night when he did a ‘turn’ one night there. My friend, the daft buggar got up to go to the ladies when he was on the mike and he collared her and said “I bet she’s flattened some grass”:)

(Mostly) American sprinters.

Trying to watch the World Athletics Championship 100 and 200 metres races and have to watch these idiots. When the camera is on you at the start, smile and wave. Don't do "special " elaborate hand gestures and lolling your tongue out like a demented 4 year old, it just makes you look like a dick.

My mate - who has a fucking huge nose - made the same mistake.

When he returned - we were sitting about 12 rows back - Bernard was ready for him:

"Careful mate, your nose is running. Don't worry," he said, taking out his own hanky "Let me get it - I'm closer than you!"

It was one if those PC directive things.
Apparently neenaw neenaw was considered to 'British Empire' so they banned it.

Waiters and others who serve food accompanied by the single word "enjoy", as a command.

Why else would I purchase it if I didn't intend to enjoy it? Just say "thank you". Or if you're serving food, speak in full sentences. Say "I hope you enjoy your food". Or "Let me know if you need anything further".

People who consciously select new words as a 'lifestyle choice' are really annoying.

The first example I remember, we were in our forties and a mate - evidently going through a mid-life crisis (because he turned up with an earring a week later, yet was offended when a life-long friend commented upon it) - suddenly raised some subject, out of context, just so that he could 'casually' throw the expression 'Oh, bless!' into the conversation, having used 'bless him' for his entire life up to that point.

I'd never heard the expression until then, then suddenly it was everywhere. I lost a bit of respect for him on the spot.

Still, it saves all that time saying an extra syllable. Some people must be so busy :-)

It must have been an ‘Oh bless’ situation.
