Using MYSELF instead of ME, or I. It's becoming an epidemic.

If it annoys you, do not watch The Apprentice.

'Christmas Markets' UK version that is..the real McCoy German ones are fine 'cos they're different and decent fayre...now it's every public space in town centres filled with large sheds selling cak like you'd see on any cheap market but at triple the price, sold by loud people just out the local pub.(it seems)
They should stick a congestion charge on 'em too - try walking past normally from A to B..not a chance. :|

Black Friday. Or rather Black Friday retailers trying to rip you off...

I need a new computer. I knew I needed it about a week and a half ago, so held on until BF to try and get a deal. Well, Curry's, for one, put their prices up by 20%, just so they can then say they've reduced them by 25%. And it's not the first time they've done it...

Meanwhile, I want a laptop for maximum 350 quid. And the reduced laptops are...the cheap crappy pieces of poo that cost 200 quid and are now reduced by 25%, or the stupidly expensive 2k Macs and "ultrabooks" now going for 1.8k.

It's a scam in the UK. And here it's worse: the laptops they sell are worse and cost more (hence shopping in the UK).

Frank Bastard Sinatra. I hate his nasal drawling, especially as Fuckmas approaches. He sounds like a pedo uncle wankered on rohypnol.

When the news camera zooms in on a man shedding a few tears. Do they really think we want to gawk at some bloke blubbering? :evil:

Hate any of this type of music, and now every dickhead is coming out with a Christmas crooning album. Bradley Walsh, Alexander Armstrong, Nick Knowles, Len Goodman, Boe and Ball, and Seal....yes I mean you.

Priceless stuff. These tuneless fecks - Sinatra especially - managed to pull off the greatest con-jobs in the history of music.

Pretty sure that's a cardboard cut-out. The sweater doesn't look too real either...

Preach, brother, preach.

This drives me to distraction, however, I once made the mistake of posting this very complaint on Facebook and soon regretted it. The quantity, variety and sheer lack of humour in the derision that I received was eye-watering.

unbelievably true..then when they realise they can't open their door fully and the overly large occupant is incovenienced by squeezing out, they give a frown and dirty look at the car already in situ....ffs.
Same as finding a quiet spot on an empty beach or table in an empty restaurant and within 3 minutes....'hey look, we'll sit over there gang....' :shock:

[emoji23] people who think there is anywhere else to park except right next to them in an otherwise empty car park...

It was so much easier to blame Them. It was bleakly depressing to think They were Us. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

I’ve been meaning to post “other humans” in this thread for a while, but you guys have pretty much covered it here.

I'm not sure how long this one has been around but it has come up in two quizzes recently. The Chase, and University Challenge.

In both instances no one got it right.
