Isn't it usually 'Disgusted of Tonbridge Wells'?

As my home town, I am disgusted at your spelling of Tunbridge Wells!

I find that the use of the word 'scum' is irritating me.

It just seems to me to be very lazy and debases the word.

We could start a list in this category.

2. Disgusting/ed. Routinely over-used when you're anything but "disgusted" and actually just slightly pissed off.

Isn't it usually 'Disgusted of Tonbridge Wells'?

No, it's usually 'discusted'.

Another "Pointless" one:

Armstrong always congratulates a correct answer with "Very Well Done Indeed".

Not just;

"Well Done" or;

"Very Well Done" but always

"Very Well Done Indeed".

Alexander Armstrong just annoys me beyond reason.

Lane closures and lots of big red signs saying "When queuing use both lanes" and still there are road Captains lane blocking with 800m to go, right alongside the feckin' sign with the road workers pointing out the sign to them and waving them on.

I can't concentrate when he's on, it's the ears, they must be 10 inches long, so distracting. He's like a talking FA cup.

They don't even follow instructions at the tip! Even with the booking system, cones and bloody great signs saying MERGE IN TURN you get people - always the people in the longer queue on the left, who will try and block people. It gets so bad in summer that they need to stick an attendant at the merge point to police it.

and another one...


I'm on a Facebook(yes I know that's probably the main problem) car sales group, and some idiots seem to list cars without saying what the model is.

For example this morning

"Mercedes 2004 model 7 seats in very good condition , clean everything is working great all the services have been done , 186500 km"

Luckily they've included a photo of the rear so you can see it's an ML270 CDI but why wouldn't you include that in the advert?

Better than some adverts I've seen which say, "Car for sale, great runner, see photos" and there's 1 potato photo of the front of a Ford Focus.

And quizzes in general, where the contestant gets the answer wrong.

"It's a good answer".

No it isn't. If it was a good answer, it would be a correct one.

Not a Catchphrase fan then.

[Mercdriver]

At least catchphrase entertains if only because of the stupid answers sometimes, not like pointless which is not entertaining

The music on Twin Peaks.

I like it, even got the CD

Yep. David Lynch and Angelo Badalamenti worked well. 'Hook rug dance' is fantastic.

The sheer number of drivers who cut the corner at this junction.
I get to the giveaway and turn right, and have to be so vigilant for idiots like this van driver.
Not helped by cars parking right up to the junction, like the Smart.

People always do this on my road. About 5/6 years ago I had an E55 Merc which had a gearbox fault nobody could get to the bottom of. Driving to work one morning and a woman in a Qashqai was cutting said corner so I thought 'fk it' and let her take the front end off my car with her corner cutting. She learnt not to cut corners & my gearbox fault was no longer my problem (after I spent 2 weeks sweating that they were going to turn round & say they would repair it rather than write it off )

It's because they are all scams and posted by people who are not natives and so don't have a clue what the model is nor anything else. The photos aren't real, just stolen from other ads. That's why the price of every vehicle on there is about half the price of an equivalent model on Autotrader, to lure people in and send them a deposit to secure this absolute bargain before somebody else buys it .

People on trains who believe that the only way to communicate with people on their mobile phone, or watch endless scrolly-scrolly social media videos, is by fking loudspeaker.

No lanes and just a sign saying swim in a certain direction which people ignore.

My favourite stroke is backstroke, but I won't do it unless there is plenty of space, because I think it's selfish to expect others to look out for me.
