I love tap dancing!

A group of about 5 kids on micro scooters using the road as their playground. I'm all for them being outside playing rather than sitting inside watching TV but one of these days they're going to get injured. There's been a couple of near misses already this week. Never mind, only got 4 more weeks to go before they're back to school!

The fact that it even bothers you and you've taken the time to check. I didn't realise there was a post limit.

She sees the name Bucket as common so she thinks pronouncing it Bouquet makes it sound posh. I think the real pronunciation is Bucket.”

It is pronounced Bucket of course, but that is the reoccurring joke.

People who you speak to most of the time, then ignore you for no reason and you never hear from them again! That annoys me.

I know the feeling.

10/10 for a clever witty remark.

It's got nothing to do with trying to look like a white woman.

Also white women use hair straighteners as well, hence the popularity of GHD straighteners, so who are they trying to look like?

Also is Diane Abbot not the child of West Indian parents? The last time I looked on a globe the West Indies were in the West.”

When did you last get a white woman trying to get an affro?

David Cameron should use Diane abbot as a role model of how to integrate in his speach today , look at her beutiful straight hair.

For the last time straight hair is not white hair!

Do you get in a fuzz because people get sun tans or wear makeup, or what about the clothes they wear?

I could not give a toss if someone wanted to style their hair in tall green spikes, it is their hair to do with as they please.

It was a joke but to be fair every time I clicked he thread because there was a new reply it was mostly just you and you weren't even posting about things that annoy you.

Isn't what you are doing called post count "padding"? I could be wrong.

The other ones I can't stand are the people who only seem to know you exist when they want something and suddenly you are their best mate.

When you slightly overdo the toast, so it's not actually burnt but not overdone enough to throw it away, so you eat it anyway but you know it could have been so much better.

Aw, that's sweet. I'm jealous of you, though, because Three Blind Mice isn't as long as Mr Tambourine Man.

I'm not working today and the kids are at their grandparents'. You know what this means? The silence is indeed golden in this house. My ears and I are weeping with joy.

While this is not a deal breaker, it mildly peeves me.
When a female is writing about the man to whom she is engaged to be married, and describes him as her fiancée, instead of fiancé.

What's annoyed me today? Realising you can't trust other people to do their jobs properly.

Our sample preparation person has cut my trial samples on the wrong axis, and I just assumed that they would be correct. Yeah, I know what they say about assume.

Annoyed that I now have double check everything he does.

Annoyed that all the work I did on the samples last week is nearly meaningless, annoyed that I have to repeat it all this week.

Annoyed that if it wasn't for a last minute idea to test something else I would never have sussed out his error and I would have built an entire new product proposal on duff data.

Annoyed that the duff data I got was brilliant, it matched the reference very well, and I now suspect that when I get the right data today it won't be as good, so my good mood over the weekend was brought crashing down over a two minute period of realisation.

I didn't know there was a difference in spelling depending on whether you are a man or woman for fiancé. Looking it up it says that the single 'e' or double 'ee' at the end is not used much anymore and the single 'e' is used for both definitions

From Wiktionary: Traditionally, the spelling fiancée is used for a woman who is engaged, with fiancé being the male counterpart. (This is a reflection of the corresponding distinction in French.) However, this distinction is not reliably followed today.

I once saw someone refer to "my darling financier" - I hope for his sake it was autocarrot gone wild!

Is that who that is then? I'd assumed it was some current pop star based on the ghastly yodelling that passes for singing these days. Seems I was correct.

She probably thought "I only have two words to say - I must make them COUNT!", hence the misguided attempt at 'acting'.

I can't remember the last time I ever wrote either word, maybe I never have, but ever the perfectionist, I'd use fiancé for a male, and fiancée for a female.
