I don't watch tennis.
Yesterday, on the BBC Breakfast news, it was clear Serena Williams was expected to win her final. This morning, it turned out she had won, and her victory was 'amazing'. The 'amazing' word cropped up more than once.
Women's tennis annoys me - in large part due to Serena Williams. In men's tennis, there are four main contenders: Djokovic, Federer, Nadal and Murray. In women's tennis there is one woman, who is twice the size of everyone else, built like a bloke and wipes the floor with everyone. Makes it dull (and they only play three sets).Yesterday, on the BBC Breakfast news, it was clear Serena Williams was expected to win her final.

Offshore call centres wasting my time at work asking when the energy contract is being renewed.
I told the last one...
'One of the Directors has a very bright 11 year old son, he has built a fully functioning fusion reactor so we are now self sufficient for electricity but thankyou for your call'

Keira Knightley.
Every movie she does I find her very irritating.
Partly it's her fake posh English accent. I saw her interviewed after Bend It Like Beckham and she sounded like every other Londoner comprehensive educated bird.
Yes she's pretty. But I just can't get past her acting ability and voice.
YES!!. Her voice and occasionally her acting destroyed any hope I had of enjoying Pirates of the Caribbean. Cringe worthy. Every movie she does I find her very irritating.

People spelling their names weirdly. Watching the credits to something last night I saw someone listed with their first name as "Androo". Seriously? Does this reflect inability to spell on the part of the parents, or some media-type looking for attention? Or is it just me, and these things are "evolving"?

Old fashioned names for children in an attempt to be a bit 'different'
School photos nowadays look like a line up for a 1920's FA Cup final, with all the Alfies/Archies/Berts/Reggies/Sidneys and Stanleys.
Just been talking to a mate about this today. An ex colleague has just had a child. Despite being named "Edward George", he is being introduced to everyone as "Teddy".School photos nowadays look like a line up for a 1920's FA Cup final, with all the Alfies/Archies/Berts/Reggies/Sidneys and Stanleys.
The child is 2 days old.

Only time I see names spelled like that is if they are in the porn industry.Morningside said:
