Folk with unusual names who seem to get annoyed when you say it wrong.

Just have a normal fucking name then you twat.

Idiots that give their kids normal names with weird spellings,

Pheona,  Zoie, Jayson are three I am aware of recently

Congratulations on inflicting a life time of your child having to say ' I'll spell that for you '

The lads at fives who are just going to turn up the odd week and kick anything that moves. Plenty of effort and enthusiasm in 30 mins mind, charging from one box to another but will touch the ball very little (and when they do, will stumble over as the ball gets trapped between their feet). Frustration boils over quite early, and they’ll end up taking someone out from behind, putting their opponent off work for two weeks. Seen it countless times down the years. Stay at home lads and choose something else to do.

There was a comedian, can't remember who, who said if he ever had a daughter her name would be spelt Shivawn - but pronounced See-ob-han.

Jasper Carrot said he was going to name his daughter Henrietta but thought better of it.

Long time ago, when she lived in NZ, the missus had a boyfriend whose family were Dutch and their plan was to do their year abroad at uni in the Netherlands together and live with his family. He broke up with her about a week before they were due to go her but his family still told her to come and she lived with them for a few months. His sister is one of her best friends, she still goes to visit them regularly, etc. The grandmother died last week so she flew out last night to go to the funeral today and decided to stay in Utrecht with another family she lived with in the Netherlands before going to Eindhoven today for the funeral. Her friend's boyfriend is driving from Leiden to Edinhoven for the funeral so offered to pick her up. This morning he says it's too much hassle to go to Utrecht to pick  her up and asks if she can go to The Hague to be picked up instead. She declines and says it's easy for her to meet him at a service station just outside Utrecht. He says it's still too much hassle so, last minute, she now  has to get trains, buses and an uber to the funeral.

Presented to you is the driving directions from Leiden to Eindhoven and the same driving directions with my girlfriend's chosen pick up point if he was coming via Utrecht.

What an intolerable c**t. Her friend is now absolutely raging at him, especially as the missus now might miss the start of the funeral (and is paying an extra 60Euro in travel), and it appears he's gonna get dumped when he arrives in Eindhoven for being an absolute roaster.

In all the years on and off playing fives I've been lucky in that I've only seen this a few times.  There's always the boy that is maybe a bit over enthusiastic, but never really anyone that ever sets out to do someone.

Admittedly, in my advancing years, whilst still quick over short distances, i find the more agricultural side of the game creeping into my repertoire when some 20 year old upstart starts nipping at my heels.

Callum Morris likes this lad's reasoning.

people who refer to facbeook, twitter, instagram and the like, collectively as "social medias" (i'm looking at you, stuart maconi)

media - without the "s" - is already fucking plural...

and yes, thanks, i get that it's "increasingly used by young folk", that "language is constantly evolving" and all that other snowflakey shite - young folk and constantly evolving languages can all get to f**k !

Desktop got replaced when I was on a long weekend. Half my apps for work are missing and office is updated to latest offering.
Spent about 3 hours just setting the sodding thing back up to do some work. There is 7-8 others in same shoes and the IT guy phoned in sick. Magic

For the same reason, Americans (and nobody else does it) who talk about Legos.

Bit rich of you to be criticising other peoples language when you use "snowflake" on a daily basis.

There is a Lufthansa advert on the radio about flights to the Far East and it gives various 'amazing facts'...

One of these is 'there are more bicycles in Beijing than in Amsterdam.

It was so ridiculously obvious I have just checked and Amsterdam has a population of 820K and Beijing has a population of 21.7M........ with more than 26 times the population I'm not surprised by this information

But the primary purpose has been delivered- you've remembered the company name.

i use it in context and correctly pluralised - the fact it may be a shite word is a different kettle of fish - and there's nowt wrong wi' a bit of rank hypocrisy  ;)
