The suet will be with the baking stuff.

I was on a bus when a man in a small van (one of them that aren't much bigger than an estate car) did that, with the bus stopping late. This was on new england road with the bus heading toward brighton, and he was trying to head out toward portslade, yet he turned around and followed the bus so...

"Bedwetters" - that phrase has become overused on here in recent months. Anyone not happy with signings/results/performances/the corporate direction of the club/etc being patronisingly dismissed often by people who refuse to see anything negative about their club rather than by someone who has...

Hmm, deja vu. (top of page 11)

People who get off the bus and then just stop. If you're unsure which direction you want to go, at least step out of the way so that the people behind you can be on their way, and/or the people in front of you can get on the bus. The guy several rows back on the other side of the aisle who...

Street runners who do that stupid gorilla arms thing.

"well, if you get rid of him, who are you going to get instead?" It wouldn't be so bad if that was used in an innocent, let's see who is available, if they'd be a good fit for the job, etc., but it is almost always used in a "No, let's not fire him" way, and the idea of having to have someone...

Legitimate arguments being dismissed for lazy reasons. For example comments against man u being dismissed "because you're jealous", dismissing comments about any keeper "because some people will never be happy if it's not kuipers", or "it's just because it's the fashion to blame x".

The way passing comments, guesses and supposition become fact so quickly on nsc, especially when trying to sow seeds of discontent/criticise people. (see transfer fees Dickinson, Barnes, see contracts Murray, Calderon)

That christmas mcdonalds advert where everyone sings their order. The desperate need some people have to prove how big of a fan they are, or feel they have a right to define what a "real fan" is.

I think it's a combination of them being rushed into inappropriate use on message boards (person A asks a rhetorical question that is designed to win an argument, person B gives an answer which contains his own rhetorical question that is supposed to end the argument, Person C proclaims Person A...

The term "owned", or worse, "pwned".

"jump the shark" maybe it's more a thing said by americans, but it seems to have very little meaning. Most of the time when people say it, they simply mean "I'm not enjoying the show any more", but it is frequently just thrown around because people think it makes them sound like a student of...

When you're walking down the street and a group of people are coming the other way, and they are spread out across the pavement, none of them willing to stand behind their friends for a brief moment to share the pavement, as if they are going to miss out on some vital part of their conversation...

They're not. Some of them have started putting up signs by the sandwiches and such asking people not to eat the food before they've paid for it.

That I can get so caught up in the minutia of a debate (particularly with erroneous use of language that was either a deliberate attempt by someone to fudge the point, or just a simple inabilty to appreciate the difference) and lose track of any points being made.

People who defend their position on a messageboard that you have to agree to join with "what happened to free speech" or who when people give an opinion on their opinion whine about "I'm allowed to have an opinion, aren't I?!" yeah, so are the people giving their opinion of it. Or people who...

Mad Men. Was on BBC4, in the new year it will be moving to Sky Atlantic (new channel showing american shows, primarily HBO stuff, since skjy has a deal with them).

Slow walkers who either can't walk in a straight line, or walk down the middle of the pavement giving you no space to walk past them. People in supermarkets who leave their trolley in the middle of an aisle while they read the ingrdients on various things they're thinking of buying, or while...

I do. I stop at red lights, I signal, I follow the laws of the road, and generally do my best to be a considerate and unobtrusive road user.
