Craig fae the Vale Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Been waiting on a phone call all morning - they said they would call "just after 9". Have just phoned to see what's happening and now they say they'll phone at 11. Sound, not like my work is accommodating me so I can take this call or anything. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baxter clearly hasn't sorted out his filter to let the shite pass through and keep the good gear. His fault. No one else's. That I would agree with if there was anything worthwhile to glean from it. I don't understand why they don't realise that they're inane yammer has absolutely no point. Even as basic communication it's missing the mark. It looks like these two will be in the car for the next two weeks. I will keep you all updated! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zetterlund Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 I drove my wife and 2 pals to a wedding on Saturday night. 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) 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newbornbairn Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Billboard in a farmer's field near Swindon annoyed me today. "Put British pork on your fork" On what planet does that rhyme? It's been bugging me for hours. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Put British pork on your fork" On what planet does that rhyme? It's been bugging me for hours. In the area of England where the ad agency are based. In related knitting-ripping annoyance, the way the McDonald's voiceover guy pronounces 'sauce' as 'source'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even worse when they rhyme it with 'talk' - which is why in Cockney 'rabbit' means to talk a lot; short for 'rabbit & pork'. 0 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.
