The Welsh continuity announcer on Sky
Racing commentators who call Richard Johnson "Dicky"
Probably means nothing to most people but feels good to have an outlet.
Thanks guys

The woman on Food Network UK who always pronounces a show as "fieri" and not "fietti"
Ok, i'm sure if you hadn't heard it being pronounced before then you could make a mistake but the first line of the program is "Hi, i'm Guy Fieri".
Hasn't someone at the network pointed this out?
Let me edit that! The thing that annoys me on TV is the way that every part that James Nesbitt plays calls for a Northern Irish accent
They can't be as bad as the Welsh on on 5-asterisk he's plain awful. It sounds like he's Welsh but really laying on the accent for "comedy effect".
the James Cracknell one was driving me insane, so i started using the mute button.
They're acutely aware. Which is why it's more important than ever that their company's name is the one that the five people who are buying couches that day think of first.
People often mis-pronounce my surname but I don't give a toss (because I'm not that special).
How are they supposed to know how my surname is pronounced?
If it offends you that much, spell your surname 'O'breeeeean'
Ha ha, yes ~ but i only spotted the POV thread after i'd posted on this one!
You jest
Rent-a-mob audiences who are always shouting and booing. Another thing that happens a lot of DOI.
Audiences where they laugh heartily at every little thing regardless of whether it is amusing or not. The Countdown audience are guilty of this.
I just don't like audiences lol.:D
It is REALLY irritating when the director keeps switching to shots of the audience etc so much during the actually battles.
And Craig Charles just makes me turn the volume down.
He was great in Red Dwarf though so I'll forgive him.
But at least it's not Top Gear, that really irritates me, specifically Jeremy Clarkson. (In fact so many TV celebs called 'Jeremy' irritate me it would take to long to list them all.)
However, Richard and James I've noticed are quite nice chaps away from his machiavelen influence.
Dave should rename itself 'the top gear channel'.
The snide and sarcastic voice over on 'Come dine with me' over carefully editted footage designed to comically enhance certain foibles of people.
David Mitchell on QI when he just wont shut up his lecturing haranging whiny voice. But it's just occurred to me I'd probably sound the same if I was reading this post out aloud. So he's let off.
