Interactive Adverts when Watching ITV Player or 4OD where you have to select one of several adverts to play. I don't care which hot chocolate the skinny grinning woman is going to drink! Just get on with it for f$ck sake

Just made my first twitter post and now some unknown person wants to follow me. And my post was nothing profound or insightful. What's up with that. :littlecreepedout:

I know I've mentioned it before but Smooth FM. For the last couple for weeks we've had the radio on at work and Smooth FM is making me want to throw myself out the window.

Before we had the radio I hadn't heard "More Than A Woman" for about 10 years, I've heard it at least 8 times in the last couple of weeks. I'd never heard the original "Emotions" before, only the Destiny's Child cover, I've heard that about 9 times. They even played "My Heart Will Go On" at least 3 times, I'm pretty sure that song is illegal after the Titanic hype (or should be).

But everyone else seems to be enjoying it, I don't want to be a killjoy. I just want something with an occasional beat.

Fashion coverage of the Oscars..........people posing on red carpets in a blatant act of childlike showing off and braindead interviewers asking them what they are wearing as if it is of some great importance or interest.

I know! If your films half decent I'll watch it, but I couldn't care less about you or your latest stupid hairstyle.

Smooth Radio.
Telling us we are listening to Smooth Radio after EVERY F***ING record.
They play a record. "You're listening to Smooth Radio" A record. "You're listening to Smooth Radio" etc etc
Or "You're listening to - insert dj's name - on Smooth Radio" after every record.
I KNOW It's Smooth Radio ! I selected the station to listen to !!

I hate people on forums about certain shows, when they will use the actors real names instead of the characters names. 90% of the time I don't know or care what their real names are and I haven't got the time or the patience to look up the actors/characters names. Wish they wouldn't do it, it is just so pretentious, like making out they actually know the actors!

When you open a new box or bag of tea bags, and the tea bags are stuck together in pairs.
You try to separate the tea bags and the bag rips and there are tea leaves all over the kitchen floor !
Is it THAT hard for the factory to separate the bags ??

We're doing a "bake off" to raise money for children in need at work. We have lots of excellent bakers here so anything to do with cakes it always welcome. One of the women in my office made a chocolate cake for yesterday and she's still going on about it. You'd think she'd reinvented cake making! It was a packet mix!

I absolutely hate companies who get your hopes up. Same old story, ya go to the interview they like you and your work. They set you a task, you do it well they send you a very positive sounding email saying how much they like your work and that they'll be in touch soon.
And what happens, I end up chasing them down by sending an email asking if they have made a decision regarding the job and they reply with a big fat NOTHING.

I am SO god damned sick of this.

Tell me about it! It should be about the movies themselves and not the latest dress or hairstyle someone is wearing. Does anyone really care about the clothes?

In our family we call it "snarking" and yes it makes me nauseous even thinking about it!

I can go into our kitchen and cook a full roast dinner from scratch without bothering anyone at all. You wouldn't even know I was in the kitchen, but if my wife starts cooking anything, it's "Andy this, Andy that" every two bloody minutes !

I thought 'What are you wearing?' only worked over the phone.

Urgh, yes! I keep getting one for Burberry perfume that is monogrammed with my initials: does anyone really give a toss? I think not.

I always laugh when the interviewer asks "who are you wearing? I want someone to say 'my f***kin' kids, they're always on my back'

I second that AND when a poster references whatsername from Corrie or 'oh look it's whatsisname from towie. I don'twatch soaps and I don't watch crap TV. Really gets on my nerves.

The intensely irritating and repetitive "adverts" between programmes on the BBC.

Surely that is why you 'tweet' though?

I also find that annoying - when some celeb is mentioned and I have no idea who they are and have to google them

I tried to avoid most of that but caught some of it. To be honest the PA girls and others trying to sort everything out in the background were dressed better and better looking than most of the 'stars'

My O/H has only ONE job per week and that's taking out the rubbish for the binman. You have never heard such a racket at 6.00 am every Wednesday, all the house/garden lights on, banging and crashing, front door wide open, back gate crashing about and the crowning thing, the dog follows him out and he is "whispering" very loudly at it to mind the road.

The last three months he has had a bad leg, so I do it, quietly shut the dog in the back garden and then carry out the rubbish and put in in the drive. Problem solved.

When I am cooking he will keep coming into the kitchen, "did you call me?", is it ready yet? what are you cooking? It drives me insane. Of course, if he makes a cup of tea he keeps asking if my tea is alright, and if he makes a sandwich you would think he has just catered for thousands! Never see him in the kitchen when there is clearing up to do, even washing the breakfast things seems to be beyond him.

Andy, your wife is just so lucky, I would love a home cooked meal, cooked by someone else!

Trivial but when newspapers refer to Beyoncé and Rihanna as Bey and Ri ri..........are these really the shortforms of their names that they use themselves ( I suspect not) and if not why on earth are the papers using them........the 2 names make me cringe without fail everytime I read them..............Bey and Ri Ri !!!!!!!?????????? Eeeeeeeeeeeek!
