Nobody cares what year your child is starting at school, stop posting it on every form of social media.

Don’t know about that, a sizable percentage of the BBC staff might be interested…

Deleting my FB account a few weeks ago was one of the best decisions I've made. So much better off without all that unnecessary, mind numbing, attention seeking shite.

(Invariably British Isles) people holding chilled wine (mainly white and rose) by the bulb, and not the stem.....

As someone who rarely drinks these wines = has to be (a) an absolute freebie, and (b) when stocoious-o-meter has passed 9/10.....

Adverts about the Highway Code on the radio that end by saying "applies to Great Britain only" or words to that effect. Why not just say "doesn't apply to Northern Ireland". 

I know this is the PTTGOYN but why would that be better?

I think it's more to do with the fact it's just a pointless statement at the end of the advert. Don't tell people not to write off cyclists then say "but this only really matters here".

Plus it's that 'comedian' lassie with a really grating voice.

Does it apply to the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands?

That is one of the many reasons I deleted Facebook in 2017.  

Sorry, I don't want to see a picture of all 5 of your children from every day of their lives, including from about 4 seconds after they've been born and your cunt is still like a Hippo's yawn.

I get it that it's maybe pointless but why is Soapy's suggestion any better?

I agree with you.  It's an advert, saying NOT is a negitive.  Better just saying where it available.

If we went with Soapy's wording it would mean it applies to you and me over here in the arse end of the world as well i.e. everywhere but NI.

No they have their own versions to. 

So the advert would have to say applies to GB, Isles of Anglesey, Scottish Islands, Scilly & Wight. If you wanted to be a pedant. 

Probably just easier to say GB and hope folk know what GB does and doesn't apply to.
