They're all correct. It just depends on personal taste.

Dal-zeel? I don't think so.

Words like Mansplaining and Manspreading - would this kind of stuff be tolerated if the shoe was on the other foot? some folk are fannies regardless of gender ffs.

Not a peeve but related to what you say and I found it funny on facebook there was a caption of 3 female officers with a tag along the lines of not just a pretty face. I think the message was about equality in the police force or something, and the tweet was actually written by female PC's. Que the comments about sexisim etc etc etc

a few posts down I seen another picture thing with a cat stuck up a tree and a rubbish caption about why woman have cats and calling the firebrigade........que all the comments form the woman fawning over the thought of ripped firemen coming to their rescue. Gotta love the double standards

Neil Oliver.

Watching a repeat of Coast, which should be must watch TV for me, but he's such an insufferable bellend it becomes almost unwatchable.

I have to turn it over when he comes on. I really like the show, but I can't stand him. I get the impression that he's the same in real life as he is on tv, a twat.

Neil Oliver has cropped up on this thread before and will again. A monstrous twat. That thick, affected and totally exaggerated "Scooooootish" accent grates my very soul.

Met him once in a Premier Inn at Kings Cross. Most folk aren't at their best first thing in the morning but I distinctly got the impression he's a dour grumpy fart no matter the time of day.

I'd like to say something nice about Neil Oliver.

Neil Oliver is in Australia.

For some unfathomable reason his napper is the one I picture as Jack Parblane when reading Christopher Brookmyre's novels. If the books weren't so good I'd have given up years ago.

My current tour of Scotland is with a lady who has read all his books and watched his tv work. I'm trying to be polite about the man but it's tough

The word "bae" WTF even is that?

It's an acronym for before anyone else.

Gala days.
I absolutely hate them. Can't think of a worse thing to do on a Saturday.
I've been dragged along.

I always saw Parlabane as Dougie Henshall...and definitely not Jimmy Nesbitt!

The Edinburgh Festival and the gridlock it brings. Not to mention the pissheads who step out in from of your car at 5am on lothian road when driving home from work.

Before anyone else. You're just no down with the kids. 😂😂

[snooky]

What ticks me off are kids who are in their twenties talking about the sixties on TV progs. You weren't even born ffs.

Likewise the Reading Festival. It's been pretty much impossible to drive anywhere in Reading for the last week and the disruption will continue until about Thursday with the stages and stuff being dismantled and taken away.

Not just that, I live close enough to the venue to hear the music, but far enough away that it's not clear so I don't even get a decent free concert out of it.

Probably doesn't bother you guys too much though.

Baby talk between adults or to pets makes me puke.

[Scouse Hibee]

People signing cards and including the pets names too! My sister sent me a birthday card once and actually added the rabbit,hamster and dogs name WTF is that all about.

Try living in the Borders. Sodding common ridings! Same **** every year, but it's all they live for from one year to the next. I should sit at the Christmas night out wittering on about the Clerrie gala day or the Fringe and see how they like that 😡

My mum does this, she actually goes the extra step and buys a separate card from the pets

Dogs (of the four legged variety) that are allowed to run about unrestrained in boozers, particularly if its been raining.

When you buy an electric toothbrush or razor and the charging cable has a two pronged plug, has anyone ever actually had one of those sockets in their house ever, just give me a proper plug

[Hermit Crab]

The new craze for parents on Facebook. Posting pictures of their babies with cards saying they are 3 weeks old, 1 month old or 7 weeks old etc. GTF as nobody is interested. My absolute favourite. A card saying "my first pee on daddy today". Seriously!!

With new builds you get the option of having one installed in your bathroom. I agree though, a normal plug is fine.
