Back on track, TV adverts that feature someone speaking to camera and reciting a pish poem, usually with over-accentuated hand or arm movements.

Nationwide first, now Giffgaff :grr:

I mentioned the one with the girl leaning against the car a couple of pages ago, absolute nonsense.

This new fashion of wrecking threads with "puns"
'Kin brutal.
Same folk over and over again trolling threads with what they think are clever puns.

It's got to the stage where I don't even open threads when I see the last post is from the wee band of punsters.

Agreed. It’s getting to the point where it’s ruining Hibs.net because of how frequent it is. A few of them are fine, but the thread about Dylan is mostly 3 pages full of puns. I opened it to read what was happening with him and got fed up of reading it.

It’s just the summer it’s this bad, it’s the same every year when there’s very little to discuss.

I’m not really a big fan of them myself but can understand why it happens when there’s nothing else happening.

I'm a bit of a punsters myself however, I agree it's gone OTT.
One or two per thread - fine.
Anymore - thread killer.

More specifically the ones that have taken to sitting directly outside Scotmid doors.

I noticed today that the guy I've seen sitting on Easter Road a lot was sitting at the one at Roseburn, are they all organised together I wonder?

I know someone who finishes almost every sentence with " Do you know what I mean?"

You never notice it till you notice it, do you know what I mean?

Is he a The Hun by any chance? That’s a very Northern Irish thing. I worked with a guy who claimed to be an ex member of one of the loyalist groups. He ended everything with “so it is”, “so it was”, “so I am”, “so ye are”, etc.

The best was one was when you would point out something to him which could legitimately provoke a response of “oh, so it is”. He would reply “oh so it is, so it is”.

Believe it or not he's actually a Celtic fan so he is. :greengrin

When you accidentally click the wrong tab on this site and end up marking all the threads as read.
I normally click the quick links tab then subscribed threads but on my phone I end up clicking the Forum actions tab and Mark all as read.

Well it bothers me :greengrin

Scottish people who use the word "craic".

Probably the same types who come out with "Hey Dude".

Is it just Scottish people who say it that annoy you? It's a word that had come into the English language and is used to describe a good time or good fun. A bit like restaurant, cafe, cul-de-sac, garage, patio etc etc

Guys, mainly teenagers it appears, who do the top button up on their coat but don’t button/zip any other part of it. It looks like they are wearing a cape. What’s that all about?

Yes, most probably because it's used mainly by student types.

If a grown man over 30 is using it that should warrant a prison stay.

People who think that particular things shouldn't be worn/said/done by particular age groups.

I know loads of guys well over 30 who use that word - none imprisoned thankfully. Use it occasionally myself. Not quite sure what you're on about!
