On another note, and I apologise if this has been mentioned before, but what really rifles my goat is the penchants for labelling offspring with christian names traditionally used as surnames. Just this morning I witnessed a young lady (dressed in pyjamas, naturally) screaming at her young son in the supermarket: “Harrison, put that down before I give you a slap!” Made my ears itch.

Clearly your choice of shop was neither Waitrose or M&S, this marks your cards.

Bailey is another one I’ve heard bellowed across the wastes of north London. And think of the spelling options there!

Bayleigh
Bae-Lee
Baeleigh
Bay-Lee
Bay-Li
Bae-Li

I’m sure there are more.

Baileys. A tasty liqueur.

Baileys

What Her Mum Should Have Drank That Night.

Instead it was Bacardi Breezers and bareback with geezers.

I was hoping I might get away with that. Damn! In my excuse the Ocado delivery hadn’t been placed this week.

In this country? Other examples include Bradley,
Carter and...shudder...Channing. All fine for our cousins across the pond but distinctly council over here.

Exactly. It's a septic affectation.

There is something super council about combining no top with full length trousers.

Especially dirty grey sweatsuit bottoms. Perfect wear for lazy fkers who don't know what an iron is.

Two weeks ago there was a piece on Today about Children's first names. Apparently Jaxon (sic) is becoming one of the most popular names for boys. It's replacing Sean and Liam. So, swings and roundabouts really.

I've never seen Jaxon before, presumably it's pronounced Jackson?

Yeah pronounced like that, made famous by Sons of Anarchy, TV show

No office meant, but your car history suggests it’s highly unlikely you’ll ever bump into the kind of person who calls their kid Jaxon.

For me it was "penchants" that marked your card. Followed by"rifles my goat", but that may be a regional thing - I've only ever heard "gets my goat". "Rifles my goat" sounds like a weird, perverted, precision engineering thing.

COUNCIL!

Have seen people today riding mopeds with no shirts on.

Wouldn't like to see the mess if they fell off.

Lol I was driving along today and notice a topless chap, who from maybe 200 yards away looked like he had nothing on. So here is me driving along absent minded think “that man has very red penis.” (Think baboons arse) ERR WHAT? Then it transpired he had almost flesh coloured shorts with a red draw string.

I would have written “gets my goat” but I once had a grammar teacher who used to throw board rubbers at us if we ever used “get/got”. I’ve never been the same since. Occasionally one might slip through though so please do excuse me if it happens.

Is 'riles my goat' what you were after? Never heard 'rifles my goat'

Surnames for first names is an immediate, un-arguable sign of chavdom. I would love to do a poll, see how many people have kids with surnames for first names, correlated with leased BMW diesels...

My son's name is Cameron, which is a proud Scottish surname,but also a proud Scottish first name. Is that council or not?
I don't have a BMW. But the name was suggested by the name on the back of a lorry (good thing it wasn't an Eddie Stobart one, or especially a Norbert Dentressangle one )

Scotland = Council - thought we'd established that about Volume 2
