Who is to say whether it's appropriate or not.

I'm the bloke who says 12.5c isn't warm enough to get your knobbly knees out. I'm backed by very nearly everyone I see, except a few man-babies like yourself. The fact you've inflicted your naked-knee beliefs on your children and are totally unrepentant shows how deranged you really are.

You don't have football club tattoos on either of your calves do you?

Surely a man baby is someone who thinks 12.5c is too cold for shorts, I thought Northerners were supposed to be tough

Northeners ARE tough, but there's a point even we won't go beyond.

"so..."

Really pisses me off! Tim Parker at the Horizon Enquiry hearing started nearly every lie answer with "So....." I was swearing at the tv quite a lot!

Gets my goat too, I've mentioned this one before.
Contestants on Pointless are a favourite, every bloody utterance begins with SO.

Same on all quiz shows. Particularly bad on The Chase. It seems that everybody these days think you have to say it in front of every reply to a question. It's a conjunction.

People who defend EVRI because 'my local delivery driver is always dead friendly and stops for a chat'.

Evri's whole business model dispenses with corporate branding and vehicles, so that your perception is based solely on your interaction with the delivery person. They also save a lot of money this way, no doubt.

Also people who refer to electricity as "the electric" or "my electric" or whatever.

Dropping the "M" or "A" from road numbers, but only when it's a double digit number.

Near me, it would be "I came up the M6, along the 56 and onto the 41"

Main reception area in Leisure Centre about 30 minutes ago. Youngish Dad talking to uncooperative son aged about 5 dressed in a furry tiger bodysuit:
"Focus Toby".
I felt a flash of anger as I walked past. Don't really know why.

You didn't fancy singing a certain song by Survivor?

The obsession everyone on this site has with politics and insists on talking about it 24-7, creating endless new threads to "discuss" some minutiae that's already been argued about over and over in the other 30 politics threads, annoys me beyond reason. Politics are for dumb people who think that their vote makes a difference. It's the same 2 party illusion of a left and right system since time began, designed to keep people divided, arguing and fighting, much like religion where each group argues that their God is better. Nothing ever changes for the better. It's all meaningless sound bites for the dummies who are too thick to figure it out. Give it to you with one hand and take it away with the other.

Agree; currently up in Liverpool visiting the in-laws, I was the only bloke in shorts last night...may need to reasses Northern toughness and shorts

Yep chuckign it down today

Not strictly thread-related, but as I read this post the curser was hovering (in line rather than arrow form) in the space between "dead" and "friendly", making me wonder what state the delivery driver would arrive in... is he ammicable today or post mortem.

And the fact that there are 2 or 3 that have devoted their whole life to NP&E, all day every day, for what?, high cholesterol
and being seriously boring .

Quite, first thing this morning it was like winter, chucking it down, blowing a gale and actually cold.
Fast forward a few hours and I'm sat in the garden eating an ice cream - in shorts of course

[Wheel Turned Out]

Perfectly reasonable to be annoyed by the weather I'd say - it's a bloody site excuse of a summer so far.

[hungry_hog]

People that visit a country with two universities almost 1000 years old, a Roman wall 1900 years old, some of the best restaurants in the world and go to

M&M world!

[RayDonovan]

When friendship groups set up little cliques and decide to have get-togethers (yes, I was one of the group not invited )

It's a perfect plan until one of them gets drunk and puts a photo on Facebook

Shouldn't really annoy me (I wouldn't have gone anyway), but it's the whole operating behind people's backs that bothers me. They can all go fk themselves now, absolutely dead to me.
