Little things that annoy you

Those little Bank card readers, that look like a calculator, that I can never find.

Usernames, passwords and PINs etc etc are not enough it seems, now I have to find the bloody calculator, and stick me card in it.

The word 'sick' to describe something as good. I just don't get it.

I am completely with you on that, mammooman ...

The way so many English people (people I know and some i've seen on TV), when talking about Basketball, pronounce defence and offence in the American way by saying "deeefence and oooffence" as if they're words just made up for that particular sport.

On a similar subject, when watching the likes of Jamie Oliver or Gordon Ramsay doing their American TV shows they speak to the Americans using their terms like 'side walk' and 'diaper'. It's f*cking pavement and nappy you sell out pricks....

I can't say that i know many people that talk about basketball.

I suspect most cyclists pay vehicle excise duty as I'd imagine a fair proportion of them are drivers too - what's 'road tax'?

It may be called that but I've never heard it referred to as that even when they do a news article on it.

So the news is as ignorant on such matters as you are. Or perhaps it's simply dumbing down so the stupid can understand, as seems to be the wont of TV news reporters now.

I keep mine in a safe and sensible place alongside my Trust priority number. Where I've no idea.

Old people on buses are a nightmare at the best of times, however this new swipe the card thingy they have got going on stagecoach has taken things to a new level. Swiping a card is a fairly simple process but from what I have seen no one has yet mastered it and the bus arrives even later than normal.
