"Don't worry darling, Mummy will buy you a babychino"

Yes, I actually overheard this in Marlow High Street in 2007, and it was a significant factor in why I wanted to move from Marlow - a pretty little town by the Thames which became so horrifically middle class I couldn't stand it any more.

Threads that have misleading titles.
Clicking on it then realising it is not what you thought it would be about

People misusing emojis and txt speak.

Grammar police jumping on mistakes that people make, without any thought as to that person's personal details that may mean that they didn't have the education or that English might not even be their first language.
Or as happens most of the time it bloody predictive text.

Predictive text.

Getting annoyed at myself for getting annoyed with little things that I shouldn’t get annoyed with.

Those of us who are old enough to remember Angela Rippon reading the news on the BBC TV:

"Gooorhilias' as in "Marxist Gooorhilias"

Provided a lot of laughs for Not the Nine O'Clock News, of fond memory: about the only TV prog that I watched regularly in my student years.

Yeah Pamela Stephenson had some fun with that. I suppose Rippon was trying to make sure we all understood that large hairy silverbacked primates had not started a coup.

She's become more irritating since, too. That bloody moaning consumer program in the morning is pretty annoying. Full of stupid gullible people surprised that they have been ripped off and scammed by a 50 quid stair-lift offer. Yes, Angela Rippon can go on the list.

Comedians that aren’t funny - the list is long so don’t get me started but, to be fair, these days, this and many other annoyances on the tele just have me clicking the ‘OFF’ button.

Still Laura Keunssberg but add it every other media journalist in the country. God they are a boring repetitive lot full of their own smug self importance.
