Endless TV ads for the show Fortitude

National Geographic Channel that show the same trailers for programmes EVERY bloody ad break which is every 10 minutes.

Co-op radio. I'm sorry but when I nip out at 8a.m. to buy some milk the last thing I want is to be followed round the shop by an overtly cheerful radio presenter who is so bad he can only get work on a shop's radio station playing his selection of white trash pop music

We used to say Poly.
HTH

People not knowing/using the correct form of 'to' 'too' and 'two'.

Also add all 'there' 'they're' and 'their's' to that list!

People using 'an' instead of 'and'.

People using 'then' instead of 'than'.

Many more I should think too!


Learn basic English words you fools!

Whilst we're on the subject of University, I've lost count of the number of older people who insist on calling it college! Not sure if they know the difference or not but college is where Americans/school leavers go to get mostly vocational qualifications, compared to degrees etc from University!

Palace box office! Been 1st in line for last 50 minutes!

Add to that people who use "a" in front of a word beginning with a vowel. It's AN umbrella, not A umbrella.

Waiters that pour wine into your glass during your meal .

A few universities are split into colleges, iirc Oxford, Cambridge, Durham and probably others

Yeah...that bugs me too. It interrupts conversation and you can feel under pressure to drink faster.

I'm a slow wine drinker and take my time to get thru a glass or two.

It strikes me as an old school posh custom.

I'd prefer prompt delivery of our first bottle and then, when we're nearing the end of that, it's fine for the waiter to ask if we'd like another. But I don't want my glass topped up by them in between.

Indian restaurants in Australia where the cook is actually Indian and cooks Indian food because I reeealllly miss Indian Restaurants that are really Bangladeshi like in the UK....:( Oh and those delicious Turkish restaurants over here who REFUSE to serve doner kebab meat in pitta bread and, instead, roll it up in freshly baked delicious home made Pide!:(....oh and Baps...i hate that word:veryangry

Cambridge is the university. There is no designated place for cambridge university it is just made up of colleges.

Also in Ireland. All the universities are called colleges. Trinity, UCD, etc.

It's also pretty irresponsible, you might be driving and only want a very small glass.

Meh - it's not exactly hard to say no thank you to a waiter.

And good ones will of course remember.

Shooting at an open goal with that one.

My particular variation is why the club have to charge 10p a minute and more from mobiles just for the priviledge to buy a ticket from them or just ask them a question.

Good ones, yes.

In a restaurant last year, I had to repeatedly say 'no thank you, I'm driving' when they kept trying to top up my glass. It certainly did get annoying (as per the thread's title).

That is so annoying.:veryangry
They don't bring small chunks of my steak out for me every 48 seconds.
Get off my ******* wine.

Similar, but what really winds me up is when the sommelier goes through the routine of asking you to taste the wine and then, if you subsequently request a second bottle of the same wine, just rocks up with the second bottle and proceeds to top up people's glasses on top of the existing wine.

Is a second bottle never corked or has suffered form poor storage then? :grrr:
