The American habit of saying drug instead of dragged irritates me greatly.

Worst one they do is Aluminium.

Nope.

Parmesan is the truly unforgivable one.

Daisy May Cooper laughing on Never Mind the Buzzcocks. Horrendous - laughs to completion at the most basic of jokes.

Yeah, I came on to say that. Is she pissed or stoned on it? She makes it unwatchable.

She has looked like she’s bevvied on a couple of them but it’s so false - even banging the desk sometimes while forcing her “laugh” out. Struggling to watch it now.

It's no where near what it was. Greg Davis is like pulling teeth. Its just not funny.

That's my peeve. Redoing and ruining classic TV shows - question of sport is another one.

Small Print on the Radio.

You're listening to some music and it goes to the adverts, only for half of them to end with some twit reading the small print at a speed that could induce a heart attack


Bl**dy irritating

"When the fun stops, stop" said in muffled voice at breakneck speed. Gambling firms.
As if those bloodsuckers could give two hoots about it.

In my line of work I hear some weird and wonderful pronunciation but let’s be honest are we that great at pronouncing the places we go to? Americans can’t even pronounce words in their own language correctly, jaguar being one that springs to mind.

I watch programmes regularly on the Discovery and History channels and it really annoys me when the American narrators pronounce Antarctica as Anartica. Its baffling.

It's actually the first German sentence I learned. Every tv or radio ad for anything resembling medication has that added on and spluttered at breakneck speed.

When watching programmes on WW2 the usually American commentator talks about England when they mean GB or the UK.

So wrong and ignorant.

It actually translates as, "Warning, living in Brandenburg decreases your P***s size by 50%"

Luckily for me then, that I was talking about my nose.

The overused exclamation of Wow!!! It used to signal a feeling of surprise or delight but it’s just become a pointless response.

[Pretty Boy]

Troops.

It seems a really west coast thing. 'Listen up troops...', 'me and the troops...'

Also people who say 'me and someone' rather than 'someone and I'.

The warning that keeps coming up on my phone about my headphone volume being too loud. It’s not even headphones I’m using, it’s the car stereo which is coming through my speakers, for some reason the volume is lower than normal meaning I have to turn it up more. I can’t seem to disable the warning notification.

If you could disable it some American would make a claim after going deaf despite the warnings. Blame it on the person that sued McDonald's for serving hot covveffe

That happens to me as well, all I’m doing is listening to digital radio through my phone in the cab, it’s not even that loud.

Young woman at my work replies to almost everything with 'Amazing!'

'I put the bins out last night'.... 'Amazing!'


Most of the tlme the reply 'OK' would be enough.

The Johnny Walker Experience is the first thing that folk see approaching Princes St from the west. This project was much heralded prior to construction as a wizard wheeze to fleece the tourists of yet more cash. Fair enough - it's Edinburgh.

Considering the huge amount of inconvenience that pedestrians were put to during construction you'd think the developers might have left the building in better condition. The masonry is pocked all over with what look like old scaffolding bolt holes. It's a mess.

People who just won’t accept factual corrections.

American politician AOC describing Nicola Sturgeon as “head of state”

Me on comments section: she’s not actually a head of state

Replier to comments: can you prove that you slavering fool?

Me: well yes, check any source

Replier: you’re a unionist liar

Erm well I am a unionist but even if I wasn’t what I’ve said is factually correct

Was there a huge amount of inconvenience to pedestrians? Wasn’t it just that the pavement was cut in half for a while?

Yes. It was an inconvenience especially when people were trying to distance. But its a busy stretch at the best of times anyway.
My main beef is with the condition of this familiar old building.

I’ve not really noticed it to be honest. I’m going for one of the tours there in December. So my pet peeve would be that if was like £90! My girlfriends dad is over from America and wants to go, my girlfriend didn’t fancy it, her brother didn’t fancy it. So she asked me, I said I’d go. Had nae idea it’d be so expensive. I’m not even a whisky drinker!
