The obsession the media seem to have with Andy Murray and whether he'll be fit or not for Wimbledon where we know he'll get knocked out early and then start talking about retiring (again) due to fitness issues.

The inability of Americans to say Moscow. Instead they say two mispronounced and distinctly seperate words that bear no resemblance to either English, anything Eurasian, or Russian.

Mozz...very long pause...Cow

I also get annoyed with the way they say Milan:

Milaaaaarn


And Notre Dame:

Noterrr Damn

The Netflix app on my phone turns on closed captioning every time I go back into it or switch between two things I'm watching. So everytime I have to pause it, go to the subtitles and turn them on (because they show as off even though their on the screen), play, pause, back in to the settings and turn them off.

Every. Single. Time.

I always thought they said 'Meee Lan' and 'Nodurr Dame'. It's actually took me quite a few years after hearing it first to realise they meant Notre Dame.

I think they say both, it depends on the area in America they're from I think.

Someone on here complained about Microsoft products recently (we probably all have at some point).

Today, for an inexplicable reason:

• Microsoft sounds have no turned on so I get stupid noises each time something happens - turned it back off
• Teams has updated overnight, and notifications is now on, with sounds and popups of incoming messages
• Outlook has deleted my signature
• I changed my password and then couldn't log back in, had to "reset password as I forgot it" even though I didn't

Arghhhhh. I also know there's other things changed which I've yet to discover.

I haven't had a system update or had to restart, nothing like that. Just happened overnight seemingly.

There's an annoyance! Just retire already dude, enjoy your family and the lucrative media world. Andy's legacy should not be surgery, withdrawals, and first round knockouts. Let it go!

He should move over to the ping pong world. A lot easier on the joints. But he'd need to change his racket for a paddle, so that's an expense he'll need to take into account.

Someone going to pay him to record some talking books to help insomniacs? I can't envisage him being any good as a commentator, except to send everyone to sleep.

Morrisons just charged me 60p for a carrier bag, bet they're not giving 60p to charity the robbing bds, still I suppose when you have to pay the loan back you used to buy the company you have to squeeze the life out of your customers.

Who has all the Tennis? Beeb, Sky, Amazon, and Eurosport will still pay him chunks for pundit appearances.

I had something similar a couple of weeks ago on my Android phone with the Netflix app, but it was the "Live Caption" feature of Android that had somehow turned itself on, even though it was toggled off! It's in settings/sound & vibration and/or settings/accessibility. I had to toggle it on, then toggle it off, reboot the Netflix app and all was hunky dory - until the next time I used the Netflix app - Grrrrr! Seems to have stopped doing it now.

As long as we know where he is going to be, so that we can stay away.

I'm inclined to agree, however I would say that so many sportsman appeared massive bores but are now considered extremely good and highly entertaining

Like the Stick to Football YouTube/podcast lot:
Roy Keane - hilarious and a good sport
Gary Neville - like wise
Carragher
Wayne Rooney was so funny and such a good story teller. He stunned a lot of people.

Many grow into it, so you never know

That's how I hear it.

Americans* have a habit of pronouncing "t" as "d" so "water" becomes "wader" etc, hence "Nodurr Dame"

• might not be all Americans as regional accents vary just like ours do.

They also pronounce Craig as 'Creg', which is a bit odd, and is much to the annoyance as the many Craig's who work in our US based company.

Not to mention 'Bernaaaaarrrd'

The one that annoys me is when they 'sodder' an electrical connection
