Grotty stuff.
Samba - wittering women is indeed an irritant. I had to endure a couple of women at work yesterday trying to outdo each other in the doom and gloom stakes. I rang one from a mobile phone to shut them up and then repeated it whenever they started again.

They certainly did.
In Von Braun's case, for a change, it wasn't who you knew but what you knew..

Putting a layer of pastry over a casserole and calling it a pie.
If you're making a pie and you want to call it a pie, then make a proper ****ing pie.

Re: Little things that irritate you

If it ain't fully enclosed in pastry not sure it can be called a pie

Re: Little things that irritate you
I always thought that Shepherd's Pie was an idiomatic way of saying that it's not actually a pie. Kind of like Shepherd's "Pie". Similar to Baker's Dozen, Shanks's Pony and West Ham's Midfield.

See, that's weird, because I always thought, without really thinking about it, if you get me, that it was a reference to the kind of farmer who kept livestock and didn't grow the wheat that would be used to make the flour that gets put in the pastry.

I like that explanation. I thought Shepherd’s pie because it contains lamb mince, whilst beef mince is used in a cottage pie. Even allowing for what I said, your theory holds true .... no idea why it’s a cottage pie and not dairy farmer’s pie.
