Narration on wildlife programs that tries to create a false sense of peril for the animals.

Yes, Ewan McGregor I am looking at you in Stormborn

I like the idea of a Geordie hardman doing the voice over for wildlife programmes

"Way aye, look at that fookin' lion, mon. Them's reet hard bastuds them. Gaaan son, rip his knackers aff and give the bastud one for me"

The keepers are Blair Drummond Safari Park look for new ways to illustrate the reality of life for water buffalos in the wild.

I thought he was referring to the weirdos who end calls with... 'Bye, bye, BYE, BYE, byebyebyebyebyebye...BYE'

I have a Greek customer who phones me after every email he sends me to make sure I've read it. As if that wasn't annoying enough, he ends every phonecall by saying "Thanks, all the best, cheers, bye, bye, bye, bye...."

I assume he was. I was just suggesting another PTTGOMN with regard to phone calls.

Reason why I love working from home. This appears to be a very Irish thing and dear lord hearing it from all corners is enough to drive you scatty

Old c***s that go to the shop with 15 lottery tickets and asks the one person serving if they can check them at the busiest time of the day.

Also shops that have one person on tills at the busiest time of the day.

Let's just extend this to 'people buying lottery tickets in a shop' in general. An absolutely fucking ridiculous length of time wasted while these losers try to run up 'their usual'. If it can't be done online then they can f**k off.

The reason you never see bright youngsters  stay long on those tills is "no sorry, nothing on those".

As someone who worked in a petrol station many moons ago, I can testify that scratchcards and lottery tickets are indeed a pain in the arse. Old people were the worst, always buying 10 lucky dips on separate tickets. Then they'd come back next and get you to Check them all, one by one.

It must have been so, so, tempting to pretend to get really excited to make the old git think they've won big and then when they ask say "it's two quid. Now f**k off"

It's a tactic. Politicians have been doing it for years. It gives slightly more thinking time and is intended as an alert to the listener you are about to make a salient point. The fact they never do is neither here nor there.

Epitomised by Blair's "what I would say to you is this..."

Pointlessly verbose in order to disguise the fact that the warmongering c**t never once uttered a single sentence of any substance throughout his entire political career. The fucker still wont shut up either.

Philpy shirking his job responsibilities yet again. 
 

Tut tut.
