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.

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.

Woke up this morning completely deaf in one ear, phone NHS24 and they say get an emergency appointment with GP, phone GP at 8:30 when they open and I'm somehow number 18 in the queue, absolute shambles.

At least when you get the appointment it won't take long. Two half-bricks.....

Anyone ordering drinks in a bar who tries to abbreviate/initial them. Special mentions go to. 

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.

Yours, angry barman.

I say pork but the Mrs says pourk, I think most people I know would say pork tbh.

My wife is English, and doesnt like what she calls "gadgie" pronunciations.

Obviously it was an error to tell me, as I love to wind her up by chucking in Almonds, Films, and Modern (aminds, fillums, modren)

....but usually only if I have the trainers on or the car running !

She doesn't say "Rebeccar Adlington" or "ribenar" does she?? That would drive me absolutely batshit.

I still get angry when I think about John Motson screaming "DIDIER DROGBAR" on MOTD about 20 years ago. Infuriating.

Podcasts where someone on it has their phone on vibrate and keeps getting messages. I've checked my phone three times already listening to football daily.

I don't even have a SIM in the phone I listen to podcasts on.
