It confuses me that these are now aspirational too. The amount of times I hear at work people saying that they want to get an S-Line Audi is silly.

All these bullst cookie messages that pop up when you visit a website nowadays. Nobody gives a st about eprivacy so just give it a rest!

Also, I saw an advert for a new "Comedy Drama" from ITV called Love and Marriage. It looks like one of the biggest loads of absolute ste to have ever graced television screens. It looks annoyingly st beyond reason!

Just though of another one: taxi drivers, especially black cab drivers. Why can't these wkers ever drive in a straight line or stay in lane without the need for straddling two lanes at one time, all the time? Are taxis really difficult to control or is it just that these dheads can't even perform a fundamental part of their job to a reasonable standard?

2. People who go travelling and do exactly the same thing as they would in England. Example being a girl from work who has just gone to New Zealand, one of the first things I've seen from her on Facebook is that's she's gone to Nandos. So she's gone to the other side of the world and the best she can do is fking Nandos, she may as well have gone to Wakefield.
I couldn't agree more, spent three months working in Bangkok and most of the idiots I worked with would walk past dozens of street stalls selling amazing freshly cooked Thai food to get a pizza or Big Mac.

My room mate would even have roast dinners couriered to his room, rather than having to try something new.

Idiots!

Muppets with £1000 mountain bikes that never take them near mud, let alone off road! People that complain about being overweight and blame everyone else for it.

I'm more irked by companies (and fanbois) calling themselves 'tuners' when all they do is supply/fit plastic ste and far-too-big wheels.

Are you a Geordie? The reason I ask is I feel uncomfortable using either pronunciation when in the area. Am I being "condescending" if using the local Noocassel or do I seem odd to a local by calling their major city by the "wrong" name? I generally do neither and use "Tyneside" instead.

Car companies or manufacturers being refered to as a "brand".

Sadly as most car company press releases go through thier brand and marketing department, and as lot of journalists like cut&paste, the word "brand" appears annoyingly often.

I blame VAG for making it neccessary to refer to it's many brands rather than a single manufacturer. Toyota/Lexus can have some blame too.

Irrational hatred.

I hate those fking wky Brompton fold-up bikes and their smug 'Hump' rucksack wearing owners.

On a packed commuter train where there are loads of people forced to stand in the vestibule, how is it acceptable to leave your stty little bike there, banging into everyone's shins and covering them in oil and filth. It's selfish.

It's also not acceptable to get it off the train and immediately stand in everyone's way doing some kind of bks metal origami to get the thing rideable again before wobbling off to your place of work where you no doubt fold it up again and leave the stupid ugly thing in someone else's way in a communal area.

y stupid folding fkers.

Normally I would agree but I was in Nicosia last year on a business trip, the food was on the whole crap, so I found a TGI Fridays hehe

Otherwise you are right though.
