Those luminous waistcoats which say "POLITE" to make people think they read "POLICE".

Should be illegal.

Agreed. yes

Or, should be prosecuted under the existing offence of Impersonating a Police Officer, which carries some pretty stiff penalties.

I had to have a word with the marketing bods about a brochure (yes they still print them) that was printed using some new process - only the white looked kind of right.

People who lack such self awareness and think its entirely acceptable to allow toddlers to watch whatever on phones with the sound maxed out while they take over twice as much room as they need to and talk very loudly about st topics.

I was told notto say anything as we're about to leave and not to make a scene. Killjoys!

I honestly do not understand how people don't realise the impact they have one others.

s
They're aware. They just want someone to say something so that they can cause a scene, play the victim, shout some more etc.

Councillists tend to live in a state of permanent stress. fk knows why, it's not like they've got to get up in the morning - the kids will get up and are neglected enough to know where the cereal is, where the bread and fake cheese spread is. They've usually made themselves breakfast by the time the fat stinking fking fat benefit troll crawls out of bed, and it's high-sugar st, so the mum is immediately shouting at them for being noisy, and Facebooking about how they've got "undiagnosed ADHD" and its all the governments fault that they aren't getting extra money or a bigger house etc, yet "them immygrunts is gettin' all new house and it's well unfare".

They don't seem to realise that I am paying for their trainers etc so that they can lay in bed til whenever, neglecting their kids and generally taking from society.

s indeed.
These aren't councillists. Think more Towie.

Still s though.
Urgh. My initial observation was just the tip of the iceberg. Said family have come in a day earlier than the rest of wedding guests. Who have now arrived.

It's a sea of tacky tattoos and fake eyelashes shouting at each other in Essex.

I agree with you, but sadly most music radio stations have a "playlist" of approved tracks which DJs are forced to stick with them. I suppose it's all to do with kickbacks, favours, who you know, perceived public approbation etc.. It's sad to think that a DJ can be valued at millions of pounds salary, but not deemed capable of picking his/her own selection that won't cause offence.

IIRC back in the 1970s Noel Edmonds was rated so highly by the BBC that his Sunday morning show on Radio 1 was composed entirely of his own favourite tracks from past and present. I used to enjoy it immensely (he wasn't considered a k*ob back then by most people) and only wish we could still have this sort of thing again. It's why I usually tune in to Radio 2 at 3pm during Tw*t Wright's show for the half-hour of listeners' picks. Best music of the day.

Always do that myself. A simple security measure. Why are folk so impatient these days? Take a deep breath.

I've seen a guy in the Woking area that just has "POLITE" written in huge letters across the front of his old white van, then on the side it advertises him as a dog walking service. No reason at all to have that written there other than to make people think he is the Police, for whatever reason.

Talking of voice overs, has anyone noticed how the default voice for voiceovers in the the UK for "ordinary people" is now a soft Lancastrian accent?

Add to that 'Torn' by Natalie Imbrugligogiogo and 'Wake up Boo' by the Boo Radleys. I am positive those two songs are exempt from PRS payments, hence why every 3rd rate commercial radio station plays those two tracks incessantly every fking morning. What is so special and particular about those two tracks?

Really roasts my pelican when they start playing. If ever Classic FM plays them, I will dig my fingernails in to my scrotum and stick pins in my eyeballs.

I follow a seller on eBay who sells second hand ladies clothes, and every single bloody one of her listings has the word "Stunning" in the title.

I don't know why, but this annoys me beyond reason.

Hell yes! The missus and I used to argue over radio stations, I wanted R2 or 6music, she wanted Heart. We have agreed Radio X as a compromise.

Now Heart was bad enough for playing the Same few tunes but Radio X takes the biscuit. I'm sure their PRS cheques to Dave Grohl are enough to buy him a small fking island, there is that much Nirvana/Foos. Same with the Gallagher idiots... Oasis,High Flying Birds and Liam solo(but no Beady Eye,oddly)

Only after 10 will you get some different stuff.

In the UK most of our voiceovers are done by Australians.

When you go horse racing and someone says "you need to back that horse as it has your name in it/name of your dog in it/name of your first pet in it/name of a place you once went to when you were 3 in it" etc.
99% of the time the horse comes nowhere and the comments are all well forgotten.
But the 1% of the time it does happen it's all you hear about for the rest of the day rolleyes
