People on planes who start clapping like mad as soon as the plane touches down on the runway.

It's still travelling at 150mph (give or take) and the pilot has to slow it down, the job's not completely done FFS

Even when the job's done.
If he or she can't land a plane then he/she shouldn't be up front FFS.

(maybe acceptable if it's a howling gale/blizzard cross-wind)

Talking about politics. I hate election time, especially as I'm the only lefty in a house of ******* Tories. **** that for a laugh. I've had to make a no politics rule to save my sanity. It's hard when even Gogglebox has segments on the week's political news.

People that start clapping at the end of a movie.

The cost of my Internet keeps going up... I'm sure they must tell me it is going up in the small print somewhere.

Why should it keep going up? Should it not go down in cost?

Then they temp you with special offers to "get faster" internet for less money, but then stick hidden cost on top, and in 12 months the "special offer" expires and you will be paying more than you are today.

I'm not interested in the crap you are serving up at random times in the future. I want to read the credits to get the name of the actor that has slipped my ageing mind and you have helpfully reduced the screen to the size of a postage stamp in order to advertise stuff I have no desire to watch. :veryangry

Exactly :p

And the cable co's sales staff's complete and utter inability to tell you straight how much you will end up paying.

Precisely! Along with line rental. I must have bought the fcukin line a hundred times over by now.

Yep - and even the technical support people always end with a sales pitch... "Oh I see you don't have x, y, z service.... "I can install that for you now while I have you on the phone... How about a bundle - etc, etc."

:eek: Saturday night TV schedules. How do so many channels contrive to broadcast so much shite on the same evening. Its a complete wasteland until MOTD. Its enough to keep you in the pub.

I didn't know until recently that the likes of Virgin and Sky buy their Internet services upstream from the likes of Verizon who are, unofficially, one of the part owners of the Internet with 5 other major comms companies.

The way women aah when the words 'Ant & Dec' are mentioned!

They are not puppies or kittens! They are grown (partially at least) 40 year olds.

Is it Yo zay, Ho zay or Joe zay?
Likewise, is it Van gall, Van hall or Van gull?

As someone who learned Dutch for a year I can clear up the latter for you. Its van haal (Dutch g is similar to our h with a guttural edge to it). But in English its just pronounced wanker.

I want to expand on yours and say inconsistent pronunciation of player names in general. Bellerin in the Arsenal game today had about 3 different ways of saying it between the two commentators. It pains me they don't bother to learn how to say it correctly, even the Yanks get that right in sports.
