"F**kin' get on to this yeah! I was f**kin' talking to f**kin' Skanky Donna at f**kin' Maccies right, and f**kin' Mad Anthony was proper f**kin' on one yeah, an he f**kin' says..."
That's what I hate.
Ugh. I cannot stand that much swearing either. Totally unnecessary
Repetition as demonstrated by Lorraine Kelly.
"It so is.....so so is." or " No, its really good, really, really, really good" for example.
Kelly doesn't use this to think about what she's going to say next though because its always the same old sycophantic rubbish.
She does that on Twitter as well.

Very very difficult to decide who was the
most handsome chap last night. I reckon it
was a draw between @BusyDillo and @jordanmoore44 #GMM
I used to have a friend who I was told had a crush on me. He was a nice enough chap but he started most of his sentences with 'Fair Enough'. For e.g I'd say 'just going to grab my jacket', then he'd reply with the expression 'fair enough'.
He did it a lot of the time. I think either he was unaware he said it that much or he was trying to support me and be in agreement with what I said as he wanted to be in my good books.:D
I was tempted to say something a bit out there like 'I think all men should be thrown onto a bonfire' just to see if he replied with his usual expression.
I can't say much tho as I used to be one of those high school girls on the bus who said 'like' a bit too often. I've recovered now from those dark days.

If he's reading the autocue in the studio, no problem.
Let him loose with his own thoughts and it's unbearable.
Every other word is erm, err.
With the odd machine gun delivery of erms and errs, maybe half a dozen or so, for good measure.
Most footballers talking is enough to drive me mad
Before letting footballers loose on air they should be given a few basic grammar lessons and taught how to pronouce the "th" sound in words, so they don't say fick, fin, frough, wiv, etc.
I'm sometimes guilty of saying 'do you know what I mean?' at the end of a point I was trying to make. It is annoying no doubt, but I find I usually do it when it seems like the other person isn't really listening to me
I have a colleague who uses 'and that' ALL THE TIME. It drives us up the wall. I counted once, and in the space of a ten minute phone call, she said 'and that' TWENTY SEVEN TIMES.

Sandy Toksvig says "erm" after every punchline.

The use of "So" seems to be imported from verbal use in academia, thereby lending a faux authority to whatever follows.
Jo Brand also. It's like an apology for being unfunny.
She does that on Twitter as well.

But Sandi is funny!
