Indecisive talkers.

“So, I was kinda walking along the street and I felt like this thing came out of the sky, I think. Like, you know, I was kinda feeling shocked by what was happening, I guess. I dunno, does that like, make sense, or am I just sort of talking kinda weird?”

These people are becoming more and more common and it’s driving me insane.

Welcome to Valley Girl speak circa 1982!

Not if you regularly have to sign a contract which require multiple signatures in different counties fairly regularly. (Not me, someone I know)

Mix that in with ‘vocal fry’ the new American way of speaking where people put their voice right at the point of croaking.
Newspiece on it: https://youtu.be/UuAQsnAVoMw

That mug Rian Johnson who directed the Last Jedi (not that Ive seen any of the new ones) as an example. Ive heard loads of Americans speak this way and it makes me feel sick. The women sound like witches and the men effeminate.

Not familiar with any of them, but yes... American (or British for all I know) people who have to shout when they talk drives me nuts.

I stopped wearing my hearing aids FFS!

Cider made with berry infusions FFS! :eek:


Cider is alcoholic apple juice and nothing else has anything to do with it.


F*ck right off with your middle-class combinations.

Early morning Spoons sesh is it?

But we love him so.
He's a freak of nature,
But we let him go oo wo"...

Wow...never know there was a name for it. I’ve heard vocal fry on many podcasts, especially American podcasts, and found it really annoying.

This YouTube video is amusing, as the presenter of the clip informs and dissects the ins and outs of vocal fry, whilst at the same time does it herself on the video. Probably intentional.

Ed Sheeran. Again. (Still?).

Apparently the poor little ginger sausage is suffering from anxiety. Now he knows how the rest of us feel the moment any of his drivel pollutes the airwaves. Mark Clattenc*unt is a big fan, which says it all, really.

Things regarding the Cricket World Cup-
The over the top announcer between overs.
And Sourav Ganguly.

My phone giving me google updates on Liverpool friendly games (and no other games) .. A few days ago it was for their game against Tranmere, today against Bradford City.

I have no idea what I have done wrong to deserve this.

England actually winning something for the first time in ages and I couldn’t give a sh*t cos it’s cricket. :sob:




I’m off to the happy thread to congratulate those of you it does mean soemthing to. Enjoy your evening.

Stormzys chequered flag waving.

Looking at Wilf Zaha on Twitter and Twitter saying you may also like this:- And Twitter giving me twenty odd Tweets on Arsenal related items. **** off.....

Other drivers on the M25.....no, other drivers everywhere.

lol, I get the same, particularly remember the Bradford one

I mentioned push lever handbrakes but also push button ignition on cars. If it isnt broke dont fix it.

Landing at Gatwick after going to Switzerland and people clapping when we touched down on the runway

People who overnight have become experts on cricket.

'Oooh yes, I once drove past a village green where there was a game of cricket going on & I couldn't believe that's how they decided a World Cup Final yesterday'

**** off.

I love doing this - it annoys SWMBO intensely.
I also like to peer out of the window and say 'all the people look like ants'.
Apparently this too is annoying.

Add in "Ooh - I can see our house from here. Did you leave the window open?" from 10,000 feet for the full house.

Better than booing if it crashed.

Wives/girlfriends who post on their husbands/boyfriends Facebook page.

I don't know why... it just annoys me. Especially when you know they have there own page. I bet they have joint bank accounts also, with their own account on the side.

Edit: I should elaborate... I mean start a thread (or whatever they call it on Facebook) so it appears to be posted by the husband/boyfriend.

Was it a bumpy ride? Only had this happen after a particularly rocky last few miles into the airport.

I'm no expert but I know enough about cricket to have the opinion that it was a strange way of separating two team who had scored the same number of runs. Having said which, I shall, as requested, **** off.

It's the same with fat blokes in the pub during the 6 nations. Banging on about breakdown, transition & intensity. It sounds more like my last mental health assessment than a 'sport'.

I think all cricket games should be like that.

I posted this on the game thread, but it seems to me that NZ got the same amount of runs, but loss only 8 wickets compared to England being all out, so should have won on that alone.

But, like you I shall also respectfully **** off.

Advert on the tv just now for Balsam Hill Christmas trees’ “Christmas in July Event” :veryangry

:D Did the Christmas Trees have an apostrophe S?

A day or two not reading GCC or BBS used to mean you had hours worth of reading ten minutes if that now.

I hate when people do not read or post on the BBS for 2 or 3 days then moan there's not much to read on it....;)

The fact that Prince Andrew was at the cricket yesterday . Is he even a fan?

The fact that a Firefox Internet Browser update changes the skin/theme colours without giving you the option to keep what you had, or even change it back (there are other themes available, but not the one I've had for the last 3 or 4 years).

Why do they do that FFS?

It doesn't do that for me Hedge. I have Firefox skinned and customised up to its eyeballs and it updates seamlessly.

...of a free lunch? Absolutely.

Things that annoy you
 

So did mine until yesterday. I’ll take another look to see if I can find my old skin or whatever it is called (I have plenty of my own old skin!)

Update 68.0?

Don’t forget Tea ( not the drink).

Nah, it was no bumpier than any other flight

Yep.

That's weird Hedge. It might be worth asking Mozilla why it's happened...

Apparently they went to "Themes" at this revision. After a lot of Googling it appears a few people are complaining, but no one has a fix to go back.

As for contacting Mozilla, I think it would be easier to get an audience with the Pope.

Life goes on... I'll get used to it, just like all the other software updates and improvements to my phone, to Apps and to websites I don't want.

I wonder why it didn't mess with you Slim?

Ignorant feckers who call one of these * an asterix.

Nobody messes with Slim!

What is it then ?

X marks the spot

That’s Asterix that means ‘little star’....?

Its gauling that people dont know.

Tintin hat on ....

A sign of the times.

Its a load of obelix if you ask me.

Things will soon pict up.

The pointer dereferencing operator in C++.

Don’t know what you’re on about ? Sounds like you’re talking in code ....

Asterisk = *........Asterix = the feist Gaul in the bandes desinee cartoons

* In literary history asterix will always be so much more than a footnote.

Yes, I'm programmed to do that.

Peasant scum that permit their children to eat KFC in a hospital waiting area. The fact they have allowed it is bad enough. The fact I can hear the little c*nt kid chew every mouthful makes it worse. I think my blood pressure prescription might be getting upped in a bit. :veryangry:veryangry:veryangry

People who say "had to be done" to justify telling others about some shit that no else gives two fs about.

:eek::eek::confused:

Had to be done.

If you fly from Billund airport in Denmark it's right next door from legoland. As you take off "Ooooh! it looks just like lego" - actually it is lego and the plane is still taxiing :)

That’s up there with “You had to be there” , which is exclusively used when a story isn’t going well when retold to others.

Stories like this. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-49016151
A company gets fined 1million GBP because someone over the age of 2 is stupid enough to stick their fu*king head out of a train window. They should have been congratulated for doing their bit in stopping the idiot diluting the gene pool.

I'm not sure if this annoyed me, or made me laugh... I was expecting a package, and I kept getting updates from UPS saying it will arrive at such and such day and time and to make sure someone was home to sign for the package, or provide alternative arrangements.

Yesterday was the expected delivery date, and I happened to be sitting at my computer which gives me a view of our front door though a side window. Anyway mid afternoon I hear a truck pull up, and next thing I see is a package flying through the air landing at the front door step. I go open the door just in time to see the UPS van driving off.

Now the fact the package contained flip flops is neither here nor there, so wasn't concerned about damage (the driver may also have known what was in the package), but the fact he didn't get my signature sort of pissed me off... supposing I had stayed home special, or skipped work or something?

Personally not sure why they made a big fuss about the signature? Maybe it was requested by the sender? Either way they didn't get one.

I find it incredible too. It's madness, but then it is ALWAYS somebody else's fault.

Not possible. Darwin awards are strictly posthumous.

The kind of people who should be parachuted over war torn Syria

But but some still think its the railway companies fault.

Preferably without a parachute.:D

Order a coffee.

I just want a coffee with milk. Ive tried saying ‘white coffee’ and ‘coffee with milk’ but they always insist on saying ‘you mean americano?’ When I say americano, they always serve milk on the side and the coffee has been poured to the brim, too hot to drink and no room to pour in the milk.

They then forget the one stipulation I asked for: decaffeinated as they are too focused on terminology.

Colin Murray. You're on the BBC again mate, not Talksport. Try being a half-decent broadcaster rather than a smartarse dickhead.

Drink it black and caffeinated, you big girls blouse :D

With a Marlboro red you poof.

Things that annoy you
 

Nobody has said that though. People are raging about a company getting fined for breaching current HSE legislation. Mental.

Anyway, here is the report.

The window not being locked or lockable and the labelling make interesting reading. Especially considering legislation was changed to mitigate this sort of thing back in the 2000’s.


https://assets.publishing.service.go...525_Balham.pdf

Try ordering a 'black coffee' then, they will still have to say... 'you mean americano?' then the will add 'do you want milk?'

Cant be simple

Who is raging??? Some are about Asterix and others about kfc but I can’t see any RAGE over this.

Ok, ok exaggeration. Bit of swearing though.

Like there was a bit of a sticker 😉

I’ll respond on the other thread :D

Ask for an Americano over here and you get a black coffee. Still, we dont have many poncy coffee places in Spain as coffee is readily available and not ****ed about with.

According to a bunch of market research geniuses called Mintel, a quarter of the UK is drinking Ersatz-Milk :D. Based an extensive sample of 2,000 people (yes, 2,000!), 33% of 18-24 year-olds drink it. More vegan lunacy.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/newsbeat-49030175

What a load of dangerous, ill-founded tosh. Have they proved yet from their extensive research if it causes cancer, dementia, heart disease or anti-social behaviour?

Mintel tend to get their facts right. I believe Sunny Fan works/worked for them.

It's called a white Americano.

These sort of social media posts from people who want you to think it's just small talk, while shoe-horning in their latest triumph.....

'... that moment when a coffee and some Choco mini eggs suddenly appear.
Sustenance for kick-starting work on the new design for the International F*ckwit Awards.'

They will all die of brittle bone disease.

The astonishing mix of officiousness and incompetence displayed by the new bloke in my opticians. What a prick.

Well if it's your opticians, fire the ******

He saw you coming.

Surely nobody wants to see that?

Some of us have milk allergies so I find the current fashion for veganism is really useful.

In the land.of the blind the one eyed man is king
