posters who mention the same things ad infinitum - 'Mcgeehan' - 'flatbreads' - 'Colchester stub' - (they're not funny any more) - 'Oakwell Lane' - 'Car-parking' (sorry Duntpasstome!) - West Stand - Time-Wasting. (with apologies for mentioning them again!) The guy in the paper shop pi**es me off when he says 'No worries' when I pay him and then says 'Have a good day.'
similar when you are stuck behind someone driving slow and yer starting to get frustrated, yet it probably cost you an extra minute. last weds night traveling back from manchester over woodhead stuck behind 2 lorries for the 14 miles from tintwhistle to flouch roundabout added 2 minutes according to sat nav. but we cant grasp it can we.
The Barnsley Chronicle 16 page supplement "THE REDS." It's described as "The Most Comprehensive Preview of Barnsley's 2023/24 League One Season" but doesn't even contain the bloody fixtures.
People who are obsessed with Twitter, and also with bloomin Sheff Wensdy. Ohh and McWelsh and McScotch people who think/wish they were English.
So, for me it's people who start a sentence with "So". This morning a post office spokesman started EVERY sentence with So, even what would've been a one worder became "So,,, absolutely".
"Like" .... in the wrong, like, place. "I was, like, watching Neighbours, and Karl Kennedy was, like getting off with Nicola Charles"***. . So* you were watching Home and Away (It's like Neighbours) and ... you get the point. To/Too lose/loose, particularly on Facebook. Swap being spelt swop too. The pluralisation of Bus (Buses) ... heard someone say that doesn't really matter any more (the double S gets me) People who spell 'Queue' wrong. Glad/Talk. This is me having an issue, I just don't liked the words when you could say 'pleased' and 'speak' Basically, what I am telling you is that I have a lot of pent up anger. * I think that So at the start of the sentence was fine. **** That shows my age
Doesn't annoy me as such, more amuses me... The phrases 'turned around and said' (or, in a Barnsley accent, 'turned rarnd n said'), and 'rocked up'. People use it all the time when recounting conversations. Bill rocked up to me and said 'Do you fancy coming t' pictures?' So I turned round and said 'Can't you see I'm painting fence.' So Bill turned round to me and said 'I meant later, when you've done.' So I turned round and said... It's madness. People entering rooms like they're declaring war then both parties spinning round like a top.
I'm chuckling at that. If you ever fancy a career change, Jay, you should give comedy script writing a try.
Lunch instead of dinner, dinner instead of tea. Politicians who start their reply with "Look..." Hash browns. "Full English" - it's a cooked breakfast! Grilled tomatoes instead of tinned. From the get go! Old age in general!
