Feeling hungry but not wanting to spoil your appetite as you have food in for later on.

That I can't find the artists' name or title of a song that's been bugging me all day...it's a bit of dancy one, it come out last year (or possibly the year before), the video had a bunch of dancers in what looks like a dance studio. The only lyric i can make out is "come a long way"...in a high pitched voice...It was also in a mobile phone advert recently-ish, the main instrumental bit goes "daaaa, da-da-da-da da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da".

Simple Minds do a song called Come a long Way, don't know about the video or TV commercial though. |

Definitely not them, thanks anyway.
In the commercial a young woman sees a poster with details of the artist's next gig, she then uses the image recognition feauture on her mobile phone to buy tickets for the gig. Whilst the song is playing in the background. It's not been on for a while. |

Reading through the last few pages and saw lots of people posting about game show annoyances so here's mine.
I'm mainly thinking of contestants on the chase as it seems to happen every show on that, but could apply to lots of shows. Contestants who pass on questions when they have nothing to lose by taking a wilf stab in the dark. It's not like these questions are asking them to recite pi to 20 decimal places or anything... If the question is "which animal... Etc" just guess an animal, any animal. Yeah you're going to be wrong a lot of the time but you never know. Just the other day I saw someone pass on a question that started "which continent...etc". HAVE A GUESS, there's only six of the bloody things! |

People posting "I don't give a f@ck" ( usually accompanied by a photo of Jack Nicholson in crazy mode) on FB, clearly they do or why bother even posting

Another annoyance:
people who type a sentence with no punctuation it really makes my blood boil its hard to dissect the damn thing the meanings lost by the time i do Sorry - I had to type it like that to illustrate the point. I can't do it as badly as those who do it on purpose, though. |

Grammar fascist, perchance?
@Eddie Badger: tell me about it. A relative of mine uses full-on text speak and abbreviations for almost every word in her texts to me. Half the time I have to ask her what the heck she's on about. She also puts full. stops half way through. sentences so that it's even harder to decipher.

People who stare at you.
Guy friends who say act flirty but then act friendly so you're unsure if they fancy you. I'm too embarrassed to ask frankly, so I'm stuck floating in a sea of uncertainty. |

Its annoying to be patronised by stickers on off road vehicles that say "One life, live it"

People who dordle about in front of you like they're on another planet and got all day. They keep stopping and meandering and every time you try to get past them they wander across in front of you blocking you from getting past.
A bloke was doing this on me yesterday. He was walking real slow and kept stopping, totally ignorant of the people behind him so tried to get around him but as I moved to the right he moved right also. I tried again but everywhere I moved he ended up wandering in front of me. In the end I had to leave the footpath and take a 3ft wide berth around him to get past. What's wrong with these people? Can't they walk in a straight line without stopping? Usually the same type of people who stop the second they walk into a shop thus blocking the entrance or those idiots who stop at the top of the escalator. You really do feel like knocking these morons out of the way as they are the height of frustration. |

Every week I and every other house in the area get a load of crap advertising leaflets, usually including one for Dominos and another for the nearest garden centre and every week they go straight into the recycling bin. No doubt the other households do the same. This week, fortunately, I opened the folded junk mail only to find my Polling Card amongst it all. Come on, postie, use a bit of sense. I think I would be able to vote without the card (if I could only decide which waste of space and money to vote for!) . Did he do this at every household, I wonder?

Ukip
Nope, not getting political. It is just that using the word as Ukip instead of UKIP - it is an acronym so it ought to be full caps. Yes, MS Word will autocorrect it back down but that doesn't mean you should let it. http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/collegeof...8-1ebfe73c80a0 |

When Jeremy Kyle reads his details:
It's 0 9 0 1 1, it's 123456. or It's itv.com, it's forward slash Jeremy Kyle. |
