Oh God yes, completely agree! I keep hearing it said on TV and it drives me mad.

Aw, I know how hard it is - am job hunting myself. I hope you take her up on her offer - it sounds like she sees something in you and wants to help

never heard that
Most people I know say "shut the hell up" instead.
The beautiful weather just had to turn cold, wet and windy now that I have a few days off. So much for going on a nice long hike

Where else are we meant to jog / run? We have as much right to be there as everyone.
Don't know why replacing a swear word with a another word is grinding the teeth of many.
Would you not rather hear your 7 year old or your Gran say "Get To France" rather than the real phrase ?

Or the signs saying "Warning, queue ahead" when you're in stationary traffic.
Also, the fact that I had a witty response for the "12 workers hospitalized after chemical spill at the Wonka Factory" thread but I couldn't remember what it was after reading a different post.
Having no phone anymore I had the perfect phone- a stylish blackberry-like semi-smart phone with a keypad that fitted nicely in my pocket and didn't mind a few knocks and tumbles.
I can't find another one like it
All the phones I see in the shops are a bit big and touch screen (although I'm fine with my tablet being touch screen so I am not as dead against this as I was)

Might it have been something to do with the film Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory?
Email addresses - why on earth do people have such elaborate/odd email addresses?. At work, I have to enter all customers' info and its so important to get the spelling right and the dot in the right place. Most times I get them right, except for one which had double underscore between the first and second name. Huh? 😬
Bare feet - I don't know why but I just can't stand them. You see people on the sofa with bare feet, usually picking st them. Yuk. They're ok on the beach and in bed but no where else.😬

Fupp off you fupping backstard!
I will tolerate football results and goals at the end of news bulletins. However, I cannot stand it when it's much higher up the running order, and also when they waste time vox popping fat, drunk slobs outside pubs to ask them what they thought of the match. Honestly, who cares what they think? It's an easy, lazy way to fill up news bulletins.

I think it's probably forgivable if the person has a really common name where the "obvious" rendition of it isn't going to be available, but I bet that wasn't the case in your example.
Maybe it's people who aren't very IT-literate, and they think e-mail addresses are like passwords and meant to be "unfathomable"...

I've heard it as shut the back door as well. I think from Alesha Dixon on Britain's Got Talent. Maybe it's some sort of "street" slang (daddio).
Coming back late in the evening from a 10-day camping trip and finding the nearest parking space is 250 yards away.
I'm simply too bloody knackered to ferry all the gear along the road, so it's going to have to sit in the car until whoever's parked outside our house moves their car.

When the list of credits you are waiting for in order to identify an actor, shrink to an unreadable size on a corner of the screen to accommodate some crappy advert for a future programme.

Yes, I so agree with you. It's an insult to the viewer, and to the actors involved. What is the point of showing credits if they are too minimalised to be read.
OK, I can get on the tablet and find a complete list of everyone, but that is not the point, is it?

Yes also if you want to see the locations or just listen to the music at the end or see when something was made etc
