They were all a good few #proseccos in by the time we left and the drive was torture. Like being surrounded by a flock of seagulls with megaphones. (unfortunately not the excellent 80s band of the same name) That's enough to give anybody Nightmares. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recently saw that advert during the commercial break on some old VHS uploaded to YouTube - it was Rumbelows. Hadn't seen it in thirty years and I still remembered the lyrics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambomo Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 This is an oddly specific one but basically people who, when writing posts or comments on social media, write “Checks notes” in them. I don’t know why it winds me up so much but you can tell they are trying to be smart and think they are original but it’s also one of the most annoyingly overused things to write.

In related knitting-ripping annoyance, the way the McDonald's voiceover guy pronounces 'sauce' as 'source'. There is one near Scotch Corner too. A nationwide ad campaign that doesn't rhyme in most places is just shite. A bit like, as noted by Limmy, "Twenty's Plenty" not rhyming at all yet somehow catching on everywhere.

Pint of T Voddy coke/lemonade/other mixer JD and mixer SoCo and mixer SmIce But by far the worst... VBL. If you can't tell me what the f**k you want properly, you aren't getting it.
