The fact that no matter what time of the day it is, whenever I switch to any commercial channel I can almost guarantee that it will be during an ad break – not only that, but nearly always at the beginning of it.
Emergency services lording it about with their flashing lights and wailing sirens, resulting in pedestrians crossing roads having to dive for cover and motorists being forced to mount pavements or run red lights. It's one big power trip.
I find they often have time to raise their hand in thanks, when you are able to pull over, with indicator on, or stand back from the road if a pedestrian, signalling you have seen them in good time and to come on through.
I don't think Bouquet is the correct pronunciation. Due to Hyacinth being such a snob, she thinks anything of a lower class to her is beneath her (as per her reactions whenever her sister Rose, Onslow and the others turn up somewhere where Hyacinth is). She sees the name Bucket as common so she thinks pronouncing it Bouquet makes it sound posh. I think the real pronunciation is Bucket.
Now that you mention it I remember a kids' show/series of books called Simon and the Witch that had a snobby woman character. It was spelt Lady Fox Custard but pronounced Foakes Coo-stard or something
When you're in a restaurant and the waiter comes to ask you if everything's OK. They're either interrupting a conversation or usually with me, I have a mouth full if food and usually end up giving a thumbs up and nodding.
I think there was a poster on here before who was a waitress and she said they purposely wait until you have a mouth full of food, so you can only go "Mmmmm!" and nod!
The showbiz forum annoys me, it's so disappointing. You expect it to be about actual proper famous people but all that ever seems to be discussed is Peter flipping Andre, Katie Price, Kerry Katona and all the other annoying z list celebs. I don't know how the threads have managed to stay so long because the posters all seem to be banned eventually but then are replaced by new forum members before long that just love to yak endlessly about how annoying and nasty the z lists celebs are. Who knew so many people found them that interesting.
How does someone straighten their hair like a white woman? I'm white and my hair isn't straight in fact it's very very curly.
Not sure what someone's hair has to do with equality
Have you heard of afro hair and straightners.
She is a black woman trying to look different to fit it in a western country. It goes against what she believes in

Do you not know how daft your post sounds? East Asian women's hair are straight as hell. Does this mean white women, black women and other women that use hair straighteners are trying to be East Asian? Of course not.
In any case, Abbott is a westerner. She was born and raised in this country, after all.

ill stand by my original post of being baffled.
Who knew straight hair was reserved for white women, better go tell my non white friend with beautiful natural silky straight hair she needs to curl it as only white people are allowed to have straight hair.

I've had a couple of classics with this, both used by the same guy actually.
One time I was dining with a friend and his wife, in quite an upmarket place in Butlers Wharf, Tower Bridge.
A waiter approached, and facing my friend Peter, said, "Everything alright sir?"
Peter said, "Not really, my mother hasn't been well of late."
The waiter smiled, said, "Oh good, thank you sir", then walked away.
Sincere or what?
Another time, in Hays Galleria, Tooley Street, the same Peter was asked by the owner of a restaurant, "How did you find your steak?" He said, "I moved a couple of potatoes and there it was."
Got woken up at 4am this morning by a group of four male Eastern Europeans obviously drunk shouting and singing along to music from where ever they came from. I also witnessed one of them urinating against a tree across the road.

That is correct. In one episode, an annoyed Hyacinth snaps at her husband "...Richard Bucket!", before correcting herself with "Bouquet!".
I do that but I can at least blame it on dyspraxia. I'm all over the place!
I hope it was you who dumped him, and immediately those hideous words were uttered?!
Baffled by this post
Baffled by what bit? Can you explain?
And a bit of luck a lot of time too.
And no, you do not 'make your own luck' >:(

My colleague! That's the only annoying thing she does though, she's great in every other way.
