Little things that irritate you

Anything goes in The Snug, General Discussion's rebellious little brother. An off-topic den of iniquity where any subject not covered elsewhere may be discussed. Well, anything except golf, Star Wars and Arsenal.

People at boxing "Wooooing" a la Rick Flair and his fans in WWE when a boxer they support lands a punch against an opponent as per the Smith V Skogland fight tonight. Bloody annoying.

Currently on holiday and surrounded by whippet racing, gravy drinking, wife beating northerners who look at espresso martinis with a sense of bewilderment and distrust. Its becoming tiring having to educate these cave dwellers that dinner = evening meal and tea is a hot beverage or had on Sunday's.

Hear hear! It's one of my major bugbears and one I always correct northerners on at every opportunity.

Mrs SBH uses the phrase "oh my days and nights". I find it irritating and endearing at the same time.
