People who say "innit" at the end of (just about) every sentence. I interviewed a bloke the other day who did it continually throughout the interview. After a while, I got fed up with it, and decided to interpret the "innit" as "isn't it?"

Him: "Well, I would do a registry clean and everything, innit."

Me: (deliberately pausing and looking a bit confused) "Er... sorry... isn't what?"

The guy refused to take the hint, and did the same thing several more times. Don't call us....

I once interviewed a guy (for a technical/customer facing role) who called me ‘Chief’ (as in mate, pal, etc) throughout the interview process.

He didn’t get the job;

… however ‘Chief’ did become an amusing office catch-phrase that was used, on occasion, for many years.

It is a great word, and I’m keen to start using it as often as possible,… but how do you actually say it;

…is it ‘faffage’ like ‘cabbage’,…..or is it ‘faffage’ like ‘Farage’ (Nigel) ?

I use 'age' on the end of a lot of words in the same way as cabbage. Just daft stuff like drinkage, workage, mostly verbs. Suppose it's habitage.

Not sure about that; …I reckon it’s probably ‘location’ dependent.

In Lidl/Aldi it’s definitely ‘faffage’ like ‘cabbage’;

…however, in Sainsburys/Waitrose it’s quite likely to be ‘faffage’ like ‘Farage’ (Nigel).

Yes, definitely location dependent so say it as you like - no rules. I actually quite like the ‘Farage’ mehod and will try it next time I am in Berkhamstead Waitrose where all the nobs meet and greet (and don't get a move on).

I think there's a Schrodinger's cat element to this where the folded end isn't determined until you start to open the pack.

But they set the precedent, she's now following suit.

Has anyone, ever, read one of these leaflets which are produced pointlessly in their millions every day? Maybe whoever regulates should accept that people do actually know what painkillers are.

What annoys me today are people who don't leave feedback on Ebay, or respond to emails, so you have no idea if they recieved an item or not

This, there's sufficient information/warning on the packet which everyone in their right mind reads. If someone did overdose and there wasn't an information leaflet inside the packet, they still couldn't press charges since it's printed all over the box anyway.

They're far too small to read.

Just a bit of friendly advice;

….shout this at the loitering toffs, “get a move on,… and less of your faffage,…you stuck-up bastards”;

…that’ll shift ‘em.

Best to use ‘faffage’ (like ‘cabbage’) so they’ll assume you’re from the lower classes,.. and therefore quite likely to resort to physical violence.

"Graduations" from pre-school - 4 year-olds, complete with hats/gowns & paper scrolls. I noticed it for the first time last year, when pics started appearing on FB. First crop of this year's just appeared today. Where's a : puke: smiley when you need one

Ice cream vans that start their chimes just next to you as they drive past. If you think being blasted with distorted noise is going to make me buy a watery and overpriced 'ice' you can think again!

Oh yes. Every two months I get a bag of medication containing ten boxes. Almost every time, I open the 'wrong' end.
