Things that annoy you beyond reason...? [Vol 3]
Discussion
People who use iPhones with the Apple headphones/mic. Why do they insist on holding the phone in thier left hand like a tea pot/handbag pointing downwards, and holding the lead mounted mic to their mouth with the right hand?... Not exactly "hands free".
I was in Bath at the weekend and it seems that this is now THE ONLY way you can make a phone call on your iPhone if you are a bloody hipster tt. Its as if this is now the only way you can be seen to be making a phone call on your iPhone...Whats wrong with holding the phone to your ear? More to point...why cant the call wait?!

Absolutely fantastic - some of the chaps on the sailing boat looked far too comfortable in a dress though!
Once again, my usual moan about people on quiz shows who really haven't got a clue -
Q. What girls name originally comes from the Greek for bright, and is also a County on the west coast of Ireland?
A. Briggo.
Q. What Shakespeare comedy starts with the line "If music be the food of love?"
A. A Midnight's Summer Dream
And yesterdays classic (these were all answers from the same person).
Q. In the magazine GQ, what does the Q stand for?
A. Gentlemans Society.

Robert Peston.
I don't really care for his exaggerated vowels and slightly self-regarding posturing, and his departure from the BBC will be welcomed in our household.
But then his colleagues insist on making him the story.
And how is it he's been the economics mouthpiece for years, but his new post at ITV is politics?

Girl aged 24 - University Graduate apparently.
"Which town in Sussex holds the UK's biggest bonfire party?"
"Kent?"
followed by:-
"In which decade after WWII did sweet rationing end?"
"The 1930s?"
She took the "-£1000" offer and still got caught. Why on earth you'd go on a quiz show when you're thick as pigst is beyond me.

Sorry, luvvy, we're not all in to Shakespeare. I doubt many people would have a clue unless they looked it up?A. A Midnight's Summer Dream
Storm hit Yorkshire last night, absolutely pissing it down! Coming home from work, could barely see the motorway, yet people still bombing it down the outside lane, getting up by backside even though I'm in the inside lane whilst I take it easy! When I got home I found out there'd been an accident on my route. No surprise the way people drive in such conditions!

wkers almost parked in the outside lane because they were scared of rain when I wanted to go home in that storm last night. It can't have been as bad as they were pretending, I was riding a motorbike in an openface lid ffs.OpulentBob said:

I wasn't too bothered about the lady not knowing which Shakespeare play it was, I didn't have a clue but I knew it wasn't 'A Midnights Summer Dream', think she was looking for "A Midsummer Nights Dream'
Apparently,after filming the show, the lady in question had a massive go at the TV people as -
"It's not fair! Some of the people had easier questions than me, as I knew some of the other answers, just not the ones they asked me!!!"
She's a middle aged Accountant too!!!
