It is the Neighbours/Home and Away effect on impressionable young people who inadvertently copy the accent.

You said concomitant.

?

It's a perfectly good word (though not as good as quafftide) even though once used publicly by a Fat Slug?

That precludes its use in polite society?

And that was a rhetorical question. No question.

It's a natural concomitant of the widespread adoption of AQI/HRT (Australian Question Intonation/High-Rising Terminal) as an acceptable method of making statements.

Acceptable to who? Certainly not me! 😀

Reading numerous threads on Hibs.net it would appear most Hibs fans spell Jamie Maclaren incorrectly.

Why does nobody queue at bus stops now? It's just a crowd of people hovering on the pavement with the bus shelter empty. Gets my back up

True. I think a lot of it's due to the screen showing ETAs at stops. People congregate around them.
And perhaps more folk come from backgrounds where queuing is not the norm.

Labels on vinyl, no side info, no track info, no speed info. Just been playing the Orb and am not sure if it is vintage rave hardcore helium vocals or slow trippy dub. OK, it's the Orb so clearly it's the latter but the most vague hieroglyphics is annoying. So is the spellchecker on this device. Too angry for a Saturday morning but been up for a while.

When you open a tin of soup and most of it stays in the can when you turn it upside-down to empty it into a pan.

Give it a good shake before opening.

Open both ends of the tin.

And once you've done that give the tin of soup a shake as well.

The sheer length of time it seems to take to have breakfast/generally complete the morning processes.

Regardless of how fast I move, the process of showering, having breakfast and getting dressed rarely takes less than half an hour, which seems preposterous as I try to minimise dilly dallying.

Football cliches, particularly “biggest game of the season”, which is invariably used every week. It essentially means the next game is the focus, rather than that game generally having more significance than the game after that one or any of the others.

Packets of meat that are sold as re sealable with a "peel off" corner which doesn't work half the bloody time. I have had the meat in a vice with the corner gripped firmly with a pair of pliers, the family all pulling as one like a tug of war team and still the bloody things wont open.

Remember when you went to the local butchers and they just sliced the meat for you and wrapped it in a bit of grease proof paper? Christ, now I sound like my Gran.

People who squeeze a sofa and a telly into a kitchen/diner then stick a bed in the actual living room just so they can add £50k onto their asking price by calling their 1/2/3 bed flat a 2/3/4 bed flat. Whose stupid idea was it to move back to Edinburgh? 🤔

The rigid censoring of swear words on this site. Are there a lot of children here? I'm not a fan of swearing for effect but sometimes a wee curse just helps Even when you try to self censor by using * for example it still takes over and almost blanks the word.

Minimise dilly dallying further by not showering or eating in the morning. Simples

Not sure if its been said before but buses that don't give change do my nut in. Had to run to take a bus the other day and didnt fancy waiting half an hour for the next one and ended up paying a fiver for a 5 minute journey .

Every bloody website I open, on my iPad or my phone, has that annoying cookie consent pop up thing.

Starting to get sick of it. "I don't know what you are but I ****ing agree. I told you, and all your mates that the last time I opened you up. Just leave me alone!"

[Pretty Boy]

At football stadiums when people enter from the wrong side of the row. There’s a guy that sits along from me and every week he comes up a set of stairs at the right of the row 2 minutes before kick off, everyone moves for him so he can take his seat 4 seats into the row at the opposite end right next to the stairs at that side. I’d understand if he was a walk up and it was a one off but he was at it all last season and it’s continued this season. He’s a torn faced auld git into the bargain and mumps and moans from start to finish.

Download bus apps thay way you just buy the tickets you need..or first bus take contactless payments. Saves me a fortune getting change for loads of buses. Couldn't tell you the last time i used cash on a bus
