Variations in pronunciation I can cope with but what really annoys me is when I watch a US youtuber doing a How To video and they can't just "do" things, they have to "Go ahead and do" things. Some of them manage 5 or 6 "Go ahead and"s per minute! It's even more annoying that "Gotten"

Yes! Drives me nuts.

Are they swapping things out rather than changing them
Mind you they could care less

Or putting a "fresh" part in. Not sure why, but that annoys me.

It's the alacrity with which the British ape these language mutilations that gets me.
I hear reaching out, takeaways, and bunches of things that are not grapes or flowers all the time now.

Bloody 'gifted' as well. What's wrong with 'gave'?

In Edinburgh iirc there is an Indian Take-away called Curry Oot

I did indeed mean "Things we should remember from this meeting". Usually the sort of meeting where they say "going forward" a lot and every response to the Q&A starts with "hey, that's a great question, thanks for asking" even if it's a stupid question.

Do we work in the same place?

Do you have a 'drum beat' of meetings?

Still on 'business speak' - 'Can I have a chat with yourself?' or 'he came and spoke with myself.'

Thick people who believe yourself and myself are longer versions of you and me.

The Kerrang channel is no more on Sky, "Now Rock" has replaced it.

They're playing Coldplay.

Or "myself and John had a meeting". FFS.

Can we take this off line?

RIP Kerrang, I spent most of my time after school watching it.

[Sheets Tabuer]

Worry not, you could replicate the channel by dropping an electric guitar down a flight of stairs.

Kerrang's been mostly playing MOR ste & adverts for ages.

Noticed this morning that there are now no music channels in Freesat at all now - pulled on 1st July apparently.

Some at work came out with that a while ago; stuck a regular meeting in my calendar and said it was a "drum beat meeting" What a cock.

[RizzoTheRat]

Please tell me you can get hold of a drum to take along to the meeting.

That's what I was thinking. I only remember Kerrang as a magazine.

Still is, plus SM & various DAB radio. The TV channel was the name licensed by C4 from Bauer Media - hence being dropped (along w/ the other FTA TV music channels).

Things that annoy me: the car which *squeezes* past me on my bike in a 20mph zone into on coming traffic of a high street, zooms off over the speed limit, only to swerve left into the parking place outside the bakers.

I think that's why I miss the TV channel more, it brought back the memories of the magazine and deciding which side of the double-sided poster would be going on the wall.

The Scuzz channel was always superior anyway.

I might start a petition to bring back The Power Hour / Raw Power.
