    Grown ups using terms like “holibobs” “famalam” and “hubster”.
    It’s no longer possible to be excited about something, you have to be “super excited”
    Social media speak in general. It’s like a copycat language.
    “liverpool have dropped their new shirt” Dropped?
    “Out with this wonderful human being tonight” (were you out with a different species last night??)
    “If you know, you know”

    People putting their wordle score on social media.
    People having a window seat on the plane pulling the visor down.
    “Stay safe” (just a meaningless throwaway comment)
    Menus with just a number on.
    Traditional Fish and Chips 10
    Great, I’ll just pay 10 pence then.

    "Now is not the time to criticise Prince Andrew, he's just lost his mum". Although it may be more than slight. It is current though

    The sagging headlining in my car that rests on my head (Holden quality). It's just not annoying enough for me to get off my backside and fix it.
    Wanting a wee while laying snug in bed. Annoying but not so much that I'll slide from under the doona and go for one.
    The loss of a proper threaded BBS mode...

    Can't bring myself to say Mam even though my stepdaughter calls my partner Mam.

    So, beginning sentences with ‘so’.

    Unnecessary body language, wide-eyed gurning and flailing limbs deployed to convey the simplest of facts.

    TV rolling news, journalists interviewing other journalists who add nothing to the story save to demonstrate their phoney eccentricity and overblown egos.

    Breakfast news formats and their wretched presenters.

    Bring back cold, hard news read à la Richard Baker.

    The terms ‘reaching out’, ‘rolling out’, ‘ramping up’, ‘doubling down’, ‘pushback’ and ‘not a good look’.

    As observed by others, I also deplore products being ‘dropped’ as opposed to being released/made available. And as for sliding into the DMs meaning anything other than donning a pair of Dockers, I despair!

    Flakey WiFi and mobile internet connections that drop out at the most dramatic moment possible. When Adam Hammill took the last pen at Fleetwood in the JPT back then, I was watching in Germany on iFollow. The ball hit the bar, and at that instant our internet failed and my picture froze with the ball "stuck" to the underside of the bar. It was several minutes before I found out it had gone in.

    At least our connection here in Dodworth never dro

    I think that is because they are cooked wrong! I know what you mean... you get half a large tomato grilled but served when the top is barely soft and warm and the rest is raw and cold. Yuck!
    Try cutting fresh ripe toms in half top to bottom. Add freshly ground black pepper and salt. Fry or grill skin side exposed to the heat for a couple of minutes then turn over and cook until the seasoned cut side starts to blacken and caramelise. THAT is how to have cooked fresh tomatoes.
    Alternatively Tinned plum added to the pan after the bacon is cooked is good (if not the healthiest option) I grill my smoked streaky bacon until it is crisp which gets rid of a lot of the fat only to put bread in the same pan to fry it which then soaks up all the unhealthy fat! I tend to like my eggs fried in the bacon fat but my missus (SWMBO) insist on 'pristine' fried eggs :rolleyes: so I have to fry them in a separate pan in olive oil!
    As an aside, We always start our day with coffee but there are two meals in our World that demand Tea. Full English/Scottish/Irish Breakfasts and Fish and Chips. Tea with the Tannins cuts through the grease. Coffee doesn't do it. Italians do not understand the idea of any hot drink being served with food. We only have a full English a couple of times every two to three weeks.
