Little things that irritate you

Anything goes in The Snug, General Discussion's rebellious little brother. An off-topic den of iniquity where any subject not covered elsewhere may be discussed. Well, anything except golf, Star Wars and Arsenal.

Women who insist on using both their maiden name and married name. Don't know if you lot in England have them but they are everywhere in Ireland. Mary Murphy O' Mahony, Julie Murray Fitzgerald, Jessica O' Leary O'Sullivan. FFS sake when you get married PICK one name or the bloody other. :eh:

How is it that every doley, professional scrounger, teenage slag, asylum seeker etc is entitled to it despite never having worked a day in their pathetic lives and yet the missus who has worked since she was 16 and has only struggled the last 2 years due to the recession is now not entitled to it after her latest lay off because she "hasn't worked enough in the last 2 years"?

The law seems to be if you are going to get laid off make sure you've not only been there 6 months.
A few of our labourers at work sum up what is wrong with this country. 2 of them have had days off this past week to go down the Job Centre as ,now they are working, the state are no longer paying the the rent and bills on their house and so they feel they are better off not working at all.

I'm 23, have worked 8 years and still can't afford to move out of home yet 1 of them labourers has been on the dole for the last 6 years and has had everything paid for by the Job Centre. Really gives people an incentive to get out and work doesn't it. :thdn:

Ryan, I hope you mean your 'girlfriend's stupid sister' for your sake.

Meantime, cling film irritates the cack out of me. It doesn't cling, apart from to its stupid self, so it either all tangles up on itself, or you have to wrap something up completely, like a shroud. Bloody rubbish - used to be able to stretch it across a bowl like a drum.

That MARS advert where the random bloke is picked from obscurity and saves two Dutch penalties. Absolute cringe-fodder of the highest calibre. Clearly it's not meant to be real but the editing is atrocious and makes it look even faker than it already is.

The shitty little save he does at the start, whilst the commo creams his knickers (HE'S SAVED IT!!!1!) followed by saving a penalty using that poxy scorpion kick that the Colombian keeper did 500 years ago.

All the while Parker and two chums are ****ing themselves furiously at the bloke's greatness.

NO ONE HAS EVER BEEN PLUCKED FROM THE CROWD AND ACHIEVED FOOTBALL GREATNESS, IT'S NOT WITHIN THE LAWS OF THE GAME, STOP IT, IT'S CLICHED AND WANKY!!!

The BBC's insistence on "updating" all their sports programme theme music. Snooker, Grand Prix etc. The old versions were loads better.

Agreed. The FA just trying (badly) to copy the Super Bowl. Nothing wrong with the good old days and the band playing with the crowd singing. May have been horribly out of tune but was part of cup final day.

The old advert for Frys chocolate. Anyone remember that. This bird puts a piece of chocolate into her mouth and shuts her eyes. No chewing just into the gob and closes it then closes her eyes and the look on her face you would think she was having an orgasm. It's just a piece of chocolate ffs.

This has probably already been mentioned, but I am sick of commentators and pundits beginning every sentence with 'listen'.

Martin Keown on five did it practically every sentence yesterday.

Agree - Robbie Savage is the worst for this. A rather odd thing to have to say on the radio of all places, but I guess just another example of the evermore vacuous world that others have highlighted here.

Also the generally unpleasant voices of radio football commentators - I don't mean the crap punditry as often pointed out, but their actual speaking voices. They increasingly tend to be East Midlands types, and they all sound fat, particularly Darren Fletcher, you can hear him sputtering mouthfuls of Ginsters with every sentence. I miss Peter Jones.

Oddly in the same way radio commentators tend to sound of a type (great faces for radio?), so too do the Beeb's TV commentators, who all sound like they're wearing temporary dental crowns.

Commentators who insist on pronouncing names totally different from anyone else.

e.g. Yoss-eye benayoun.
Piquionony.
Meirelesh.
Ramiresh.
