Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...

No colon necessary, dash too early and (arguably) I strongly restrict full stops getting used at the end as it doesn't look that good cause of the '.' already in use in my name. 6/10. See me.

Why does a week off work fly by so much more quickly than a week at work? mad.gif

Waking up later makes you feel like the day is shorter.

I always try and done something active before lunchtime. Ths morning i jogged downstairs to turn on the hot water, pre-shower.

John Humphrey's, in tonight's Mastermind, referred to Eurydice as "Euro-dice".

For some reason this has been irking me intensely for the past hour! dry.gif

Some English girl on Eggheads could not pronounce Kirkcaldy,how hard is that..?

It's not as irking as your use of an apostrophe in his (misspelled) name :D

At least I have annoyed you then - that's cheered me up. tongue.gif

Capy - They said it was the Kirkcaldy & Cowdenbeath constituency as well.

Everyone knows it's pronounced Cowdungbeath! wink.gif

Why would someone who has clearly never heard of the place know it's pronounced the way it is?

That's as bad as the people who have a go at those who can't pronounce Milngavie properly.

It's the 'k' and 'c' together that confuses them, as it tends to mean they break the word up before saying it. They pronounce it as they see it "Kirk-caldy", rather than the more typical "Kircawdy" you get up here.

That said, I had to phone TNT the other day to arrange a pick up, and the guy on the other end of the phone prounced it perfectly.

Fucking muppets in a supermarket that put an item in their trolley, only to find another brand cheaper further on and fling back the first item on any shelf but where they found it. Lazy fuckers

To LBM.

Years ago, I went to a funeral of the same kind. I have never seen so many people grieve at a funeral. It was a cousins wee boy. Only difference was , the wee tot's coffin was carried by the Undertaker's. The dad was inconsolible and could not do it. He still regrets not being able to carry the coffin to this day. Sorry you had to endure this occasion. :(
