People repeating a name multiple times throughout when writing a letter, a particularly common trait among celebrities writing open letters.
Boris I ask you, Boris I implore, Boris please, Boris please consider, Boris you must.....
Unnecessary and grating.

Definitely no excuse for that. 😠Quote:

There's no excuse. Red card.
The site should have a system, like it does for sweary words, where offensive words like laxadaisical are replaced by a string of asterixes.Quote:

Something which is really annoying me at the moment is people leaving rubbish everywhere.
Holyrood Park and the Meadows are two of my favourite spots in Edinburgh, but the recent hot weather has ld to crowds leaving their rubbish everywhere. It's also been highlighted as a problem down South and pictures from Bournemouth beach made me gag.

Worse is that it's now creeping into spoken form. Mikey Stewart is brutal for it. "Should've" is fine, but he splits the words up to "should of".Quote:

This really grips my **** too. I was at the Baltic last weekend and at the entrance to the campsite where I was staying there's a sign that clearly states that people should park their vehicles on the carpark opposite whilst checking in. However some dickheads either couldn't read or couldn't be bothered walking the extra 15m and as a consequence entering and exiting the campsite got blocked for 20 minutes at a time. Why the campsite don't police their own rules is another story.Quote:

Getting asked for help with something only for the person asking for help to disagree with all the things you suggest to help, and then they get arsey about it.
Don’t get married, is the key message here.
Opening a box of eggs and finding several of them covered in bird ****.
How do the birds get in there? :confused:Quote:

It doesn't make you sound serious or clever. It makes you sound like you're trying to sound serious and clever. "In any way" would do.
:agree: People who like to overexaggerate are certainly giving 110% there.Quote:

People wearing face masks around their neck/ chins in shops etc. Either wear the face mask properly or don’t wear one at all, this wearing one for effect without actually using it properly is pointless.
Folk who post links with no context or comment. There must be a reason why you've chosen to share it with others in a public forum, would it kill you to give us a sentence or two so we can decide if it's worth clicking on?
