I didn't - there was a warning message (from Tesco Mobile) that the message was four minutes long...

When Americans say "I could care less" when they actually mean couldn't.

I can live with yanks doing it, the two languages diverged some time ago. It's when ostensibly British cock-trumpets say it that I get a bit peeved.

Actually I sometimes don't mind clicking one of those "more from the web" links like "Top 10 celebrities that didn't age well".

My problem is the site it redirects to has 11 pages that you need to find the genuine "next" button for in order to see the celebrities in question and each page takes an age to load too.

People who list automatic cars on classified websites as manuals.

fking stop it!!

And:

Golf for sale, not Audi A1 or BMW 118, 125, ...

This... Always wondered if it was done on purpose to get more views or bcoz they think their "s-r tronic" whatever is the new manual.

Speaking of Golfs I am always on the lookout for the right golf mk6 R

But there are about 100 adverts clogging up the results where the sellers are advertising VW Golf TDI / GTI / R in one combined advert...but the car is actually a GTI every time...go to their website there is no R there either

[iva cosworth]

Teenagers joining forums in school holidays and starting threads claiming to own exotic cars.

Only 2 weeks till they all go back folks.

[JonRB]

Drivers who come bombing up to junctions and roundabouts, giving you no confidence that they are actually going to stop, and then hauling on the anchors right at the last moment.

Usually they do stop, apart from a time several years ago when one didn't, which leaves me understandably wary of it happening again.

Yup. It's keyword stuffing and people seem to think that it will increase the exposure of your advert. But all that false positives actually succeed in doing is pissing people off.

Teenager is, I think, a compliment. I'd say an 8 year old...

So you watch him do it and even take pictures, but you're too much of a wimp to tell him to pick it up and put it in the bin?
