Random Irritations

Grammar Police
Spelling Nazis

Some people’s sole purpose on the forum is to correct people spelling or grammatical errors - it’s a forum not an English exam
, sad people - get a life
Point out a single person whose sole purpose on this forum is to do that.

I had to edit my post for a typo. :)
 
The media in the UK, and particularly how they are willing to publish any old crap if they think it will increase their readership or internet hits. Having been right in the middle of one of the week's big news stories and knowing what was actually happening, it was a real eye opener to see the complete fabrications and untruths that some outlets were broadcasting and publishing.



I'm not suggesting that it is only UK media and foreign media don't do the same but my experience this week has been with UK media.

The weather. When you have a 300 mile round trip planned to Dorset/Devon to look at properties and you see the weather forecast for the entire area and the journey down from Surrey is biblical albeit without the locusts. Having to cancel and re-arrange for next week.

The weather, when its mid 30's but a cyclone is on its way tomorrow and you don't know if the forecast for it to miss right will be accurate

Using a space hopper actually. Not sure if I would have been allowed on the M3 with it though. Seriously that is no fun journey in that kind of weather. Just spoke to the estate agent and he was laughing saying he was expecting me to call. It is raining cats and dogs down there right now and he just trod in a poodle. I'll get my raincoat.

Sell the soft top space hopper, or keep it for the summer.

You and the clan relocating? have you got the new course sorted. Get the priorities right, plus you can see how it drains!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Math does my nut. I'd taser anyone leaving off the s.

Whilst we are on an American theme / rant. What is it about only using a fork? Don't know why that irritates me but it really does. They have knives as well, I 've seen them on the table. Use one.

I want to like this twice, once for each rant.

One person we went for New Year's Eve with would cut her food properly the. Put the knife down and then swap the fork into her right hand shovel the food in fork back to left hand pick up knife and repeat, "now you're actually making life difficult for yourself"
