    People saying "Barthalona"......fcuk off and say "Barcelona" you cnuts.
    And "Valenthia"

    Or years ago, do you remember Sky Sports' commentators would pronounce Theirry Henry as "Ee-eh-ee Aw'ee". Is started out as pretty much 'Terry Henry' with a soft H, then someone noticed the H was basically silent, and it seemed like every season they tried to outdo themselves just a little bit more after that. A French lad I was in college with at the time said it was laughably overdone also... well know come they don't try and do the same with Asian or African players, attempting completely over the top accents? They'd get in sh ite is why, but it would still be unintentionally hilarious. :D

    Wasn't there a reason for that Spanish thing like King Phillip V had a speech impedimink and so as that he didn't feel too bad all the courtiers decided to go along with him and say things like "Queen Maria Luitha hath gone to Barthelona... There is a thale on in Argoth."

    The "Spanish Lisp" is a myth (oh that's cruel :pac:) I'm afraid -

    Fcuking seething with envy right about now! Damn ya Pumpkinseeds ya lucky so and so! :mad:


    Trivial thing that annoys me? When I'm reminded of 80's classics like this and curse myself for having forgotten them-


    Is kind of depressing to think that in the early 90's I was a laid back, dock martin wearing, perry drinki,ng carefree 20 something. Now I'm 40, technically a middle aged, sensible shoe wearing, gin and tonic drinking, outwardly respectable woman Also a lot happened today so we may have to cancel the tickets and the hotel:(:(

    The over-use of the word "mate" on UK TV. Notably those late-night cop shows. "Can you step out of the car mate" and they fine him, impound his car then make him walk home with "You can pay the £350 release fee mate and get your £175 car back, ok mate, safe home." Or 6 coppers pile on top of some guy that has had one too many sherberts screaming "calm down mate" at him as they get the cuffs on him. With mates like that... :rolleyes:

    when you are fixing something involving screws and one of the little bastards falls and bounces seemingly into oblivion never to be seen again grrrr


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,995 ✭✭✭Conall Cernach


    Jokes that have a line after the punchline that try to make out like it was a true story or something. You know the ones "the priest fainted" or "the teacher had to leave the room."

    People saying they had a cheeky something.

    Shut up you cockends

    I tell you what annoys me. One of my neighbours has had their back garden light on all day everyday for over 2 weeks. It does not effect me in anyway I just want them to turn it off even if only for during the day....

    When you can't find the remote control even though you just had it in your hand. I was watching tv this afternoon in bed while trying to get my sick baby to sleep. He fell asleep on my and then the remote was nowhere to be found. I couldn't move to look for it properly so had to watch done crap antiques programme. I found it later right under the pillows. Grr.......

    Few cheeky vinos with the girlos :P

    People who use the word delicious to describe something other than food. I remember a friend of mine saying a dress was delicious and I wanted to split her. Another one, anything being yummy. Especially men, oh he's yummy :mad:

    The nozzle on my hair dryer that without fail when drying my hair pops off and hits my bare foot. Ow!

    The fact that after ten years, my house is falling apart (but thanks to the nice locksmith, sorted!) But why can't houses have digilocks?

    Tesco kitchen cleaner, may be cheap but doesn't clean a thing. Spit and water would work better.

    My friend, who thinks I have a housekeeper and uses a different spoon for each cup of tea. Just cause he had a housekeeper I don't!

    My dad who panics when I don't phone home 3 times a day - I am 40!

    People who get my name wrong - it's an A not an E! If you're typing in my email address do not then call me the wrong name.

    You've got trains???? Last seen in the Northwest 60 fookin years ago, we wouldn't know what a train looked like even if it hit us.

    When your stupid brain is on the blink all day but then at 4am it's racing like a ginger foster child away from a spanking, and there's not a hope of it stopping.

    Same! I started falling asleep at 7pm because I have the flu, but stayed awake cos I knew I'd wake up too early in the morning if I went to bed.. Roll on 4:10am and I'm still awake, lying in bed contemplating every bad decision I've ever made in my life :pac:

    Calves that never stopped roaring outside last night. Ok it's their first night away from their mothers and they're hungry but get over it fairly lively or I'll bring you to the factory.
