I've heard BBC newsreaders say Nu-cu-lar and air-plane. It really grinds my gears!

I take particular offence at guys who use womens' names as user names on forums ... Sometimes you don't actually know whether it's a 'joke' or not. Not big and not clever.  |

Just heard Un-explainable from Petch the English commentator on Aus open tennis coverage..
It's okay for non human related things, but it just sounds wrong to me. Perhaps it's a geographical UK use difference?

Mentioned elsewhere, but having recently lost nearly two hours of my life watching the most awful and depressing movie Brad's Status - Ben Stiller

Insurance companies that have the right to challenge what a Cardiologist has said about their patient, what gives them the right, oh so frustrating!

Grinds my gears, more like infuriating!
Today we receved a 'Red' letter with the heading 'We will pass your details to a debt collection agency'
This was for an excess charge from British Gas for an engineer to come out at Christmas, so I duly rang them to find out what the .... they were going on about as we had made the payment on the day we arranged the engineer to come out.
First of all, they said it was for the second engineer that came out, so I reminded them that there wasn't a charge for that as we only required the second engineer because the first had failed to correct the fault (something they try on each a second engineer is required). They agreed with this, but then stated that it was actually for the first engineer, and that when we had tried to make the payment on the day we arranged the engineer, there had been a 'technical fault' with their computer system so the payment hadn't gone through.
At no point did we receive an invoice, we just received this damn demand letter, and secondly, I didn't receive an apology even though I made it very clear that I was very annoyed with the situation.
They did give me the contact number to make a complaint, which I rang and am awaiting a call back.
Moron's!!

Did you get the number to ring so you can complain about the complaints department not phoning you back, Paul?

The one thing that winds me up every time I drive my car are the idiots who think their lane is really a lane and a half and it seems that the smaller the car the more room they need to swing wide to take a corner.

Seems like a lot of companies are going straight to debt chasers without and warning. The debt chasers chase debts and don't give a toss about right and wrong. Good reason never to use British Gas for anything. Incompetent and expensive. Apart from that fine, oh yes apart from the debt chasing ! |

I would never choose to watch a Ben Stiller film, Tim. Ben Stiller does not have the ability to cause a chuckle in a Costa Rican brown throat-ed three toed sloth let alone most sane mortals. Though playing his alleged lightly amusing films to freshly painted walls is a great way of improving the drying time I am led to believe He is also one of the few human beings that possess the ability to bore the bollox off a charging Rhino at 60 paces, no mean feat  |

While you are on the subject of unfunny (over paid) alleged comedians Will Farrel funny as catching anthrax on a rusty nail that has just caught your ball bag on an old dilapidated church fence whilst trying to escape from a pair of tenacious Jehovah Witnesses freshly released from God bothering school with a point to prove  |

OH yes, the biggest pair of unfunny oxygen thieves in the UK currently, I just cannot understand their popularity FFS. ANT and DEC
Perhaps a new game show maybe on the cards:- We're a pair of celebrity twats, please abuse us correctly at all costs with every method at your disposal I would pay to sponsor that and so would a few hundred thousand others I suspect. |
