This theory most definitely applies to Stagecoach in the north midlands! The ones who look like they'd murder you are the most friendly, but the others are complete miserable,antisocial, unfriendly, unhelpful, bad driving b'stards.

That pink and purple is hideous. On the subject of football kits - someone said that man City's third looks like the wrapper for a double decker chocolate bar.

I need to cut my dog's nails. The trimmers have disappeared into a black hole. I'm going to have to buy a new pair tomorrow because I'm tired of getting scratched.

Yes.

Idiot tags idiot.

And those in a closed group tagging someone who isn't in the closed group and continuing to do so after they've been told it's a waste of time as the person cannot see it.

Are they those hideously annoying clips played during the Talk-Talk ad breaks in X Factor...?

I HATE them!!!

and even more so because the idiots in the clips are exaggerating their facial movements to go with the 'look'

I've tried to work out how they do that. Do people send clips in or is there a booth that they go in? I think the hat/hair bits are added on later.

... and after you finish you decide to put the new pair away somewhere where you'll definitely find them the next time you need them and you'll put them in a drawer right next to the old pair you couldn't find this time....

There's an app (isn't there always an app these days) called TalkTalk FX Star, it plays the music for you to sing along to and records video of you doing so and applies the "filters" are applied in real time, not post production, and you upload it the finished clip when you're done straight out of the app.

My company has just issued us all with corporate branded stress balls.

I really don't know what to make of it, I didn't realised I was stressed enough to need a stress ball but the thought of having a stress ball has stressed me out and I don't even know how to operate a stress ball. How does a ball that doesn't even fit in my pencil tidy help me keep calm. The fact I have no desk space to put the ball is stressful in itself and it keeps rolling off, which is why I have balanced it atop the pencil tidy, but now I can't get at my pencils, which is stressing me out.

And they've pinned a "coping with stress" booklet to the noticeboard at a jaunty angle rather than straight, it's overlapping another notice and overhanging the frame of the notice board. I can't even bear to look at it.

I have some balls I squeeze when I'm stressed.

It works for me but my husband is none too pleased.

Interesting, thank you.

Have there been a recent influx of citizens from Spanish-speaking nations onto the net, I wonder.

If you are ever in need, you can have a go on mine.

There was a woman on the bus this morning reading Metro and laughing really loudly at the articles. But it wasn't a normal laugh, it was a very forced "HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!" over and over.

There is large population of South-American Spanish speaking people living in the states so Spanglish can be quite normal in some parts (it's been around for decades). The U.K tends to adopt many Americanisims.

My new colleague does this.
SHUt YOur stupid snotting honk

Our new work colleague, Jazz Hands Jo, who's been here for three weeks. She's too jazz hands for me. Singing Pig Bag, How Low Can you Go, coming in pulling faces and waving hands going "Howdy!", to be fair she made us all a drink but asked us and served us in a TOWIE accent and keeps saying "Shut Up!" - just too distracting and theatrical.

Before you think I am a grump, I've no problem with work chat - but she's way OTT.

Like the laughing policeman?

The way 'dancing in his pants' seems to have caught on as an expression. I don't know what it's all about, but I keep hearing it.

My girlfriend got a text between 9 and 10 the other Sunday from her mate to say that her knickers were on fire, and there was a party in her pants on another Sunday.

* Poldark *

Much slower. It wasn't a case of "This is funny" but "Hey everybody look at me!"

That annoys me too

I only started a new job on Monday & I've now got a sore throat.

Jazz Hands Jo sounds like a bloody nightmare! Glad I don't have to work with her, but your post did make me laugh!

Is there an unwritten rule which states when people go away, to make as much as much noise as they want late at night? Don't appreciate being woken up at 3am.

My local radio station and their unhealthy obsession with Justin Bieber, or "Biebs" as they call him. Yes we get that you like him as an artist but why do we need to hear three of his songs in one hour, every day?

Though come to think of it, DS and their obsession with Adele.
