Oh, and another one. Leaving out "to be" when something needs (to be) done. Just seen it in another thread where someone says: "the whole gearbox needs replaced". No, it needs TO BE replaced. Gah.
Just a waste of words. Let language get more efficient. There's no ambiguity in what you quoted.

"To be", or not "to be"? Actually I thought omitting it was a Scottish thing.

Volume differences between programme and adverts.
4 on demand is bloody deafening

Multipack crisps which invariably contain a flavour you don't like - especially annoying when they don't sell the flavours you do like individually e.g. salt & vinegar Hula Hoops

I am amazed they still don't sell a multipack of just salt and vinegar Hula Hoops yet. The requirement is obvious.

That would be these then





Indecently, I’m employed by a popular crisp manufacturer. They have recently dropped mixed flavour multipacks.

That is just wrong, everyone knows that BBQ Beef are the only Hula Hoops worth scoffing.

What is also annying is that from about the age of seven my fingers were too fat to put them on as crunchy rings of goodness.




What has annoyed me for many years is the clingfilm stuff used to wrap up boxes of teabags. Forget carbon fibre, kevlar or graphene, teabag box clingfilm is stronger !

At odds with the thread title.
This is what I love about PH, no matter what the subject there'll be someone along before too long who knows what they're talking about (or at least say they do).

The guy in front of me in the Post Office yesterday, who was stood rocking from side to side on his feet like a bloody metronome the whole time he was being served. He wasn't shifting from foot to foot in a nervous or impatient way, just a slow, steady, metronomic rocking which annoyed me beyond reason.

Could have just returned from a sea voyage ?

People that make no effort to ensure a photo they've taken has the correct orientation before uploading it to a forum. There are literally thousands of programs, add-ons and apps that will do this or you could just hold the phone the correct way round before shooting. But no, it's apparently acceptable to carry on with posting it upside down and then acting all dumb and saying "iphone innit" like that excuses them of any responsibility. mad

Maybe a really overpowered pacemaker fitted.

Were you by any chance listening to the Saturday repeat of Any Questions?
