When he isn't talking about the cats he's doing that annoying chuckle.”

He sounds like a male Mrs Bucket with the photo's!

Do you read Yahoo UK's entertainment articles? They're awful for that sort of thing! Nearly every celebrity couple photo is 'ADORBS' and gets a big 'N'AWWW' from the writer. Ugh.

Yahoo Sport making up stories out of nothing, like with Andy Murray joking with a mate about a girlfriend.
"Ruins teammates life" - really?

I do have a bet now & again but only bet a couple of £s, however the amount of Betting adverts on TV is becoming a joke, & it's worse when watching the Cricket World Cup or when virtually every ad break is an ad for a Betting firm.

Congratulations for picking that up...strictly speaking "collagen" is produced only by animals cells...so collagen can't be vegan...or shouldn't be classed as vegan...normally

I guess you can get collagen from recombinant systems (animal genes in a potentially "vegan" expression system (yeast or bacterial cell culture))....would that be vegan?...perhaps philosophically not...I don't know.

The use of the word "collagen" in the cosmetic industry can be very misleading, the product name may have "collagen" in it but the product may not have any proper "collagen"....sort of like "Meat Free Chicken" you can get in shops....can chicken be vegetarian?...yes, if it's meat free chicken, apparently

Products derived from extensins, a group of plant proteins, are variously marketed with terms such as "plant collagen", "phyto collagen" or "botanically derived collagen"...so strictly not really "collagen" but the product my have the word "collagen" in the name...so the product could be vegan, depending on what the other ingredients are and the production methods.

There are also products with "collagen" from (natural) yeast extract (not genetically modified), SBC uses this "pseudo collagen" in their "Collagen Body Butter":

http://www.sbcgels.co.uk/collagen-body-butter

The word "collagen" is in the name of the product, "Collagen Body Butter", but the "collagen" is derived from yeast....so not proper "collagen"...but as before, the product could be vegan, depending on other factors.

More confusingly there's a review of SBC "Collagen Gel" on Amazon which suggests that in the product the reviewer bought was formulated with yeast extract "pseudo collagen":

http://www.amazon.co.uk/product-revi...owViewpoints=0

http://www.amazon.co.uk/SBC-Collagen...dp/B002HRMU7A/

So a product from the same manufacturer (SBC), with the same product name (Collagen Gel), but with two formulations, one perhaps vegan (with natural yeast extract), the other one not vegan (with marine collagen derived from fish)

I've trained myself to deal with 'have a nice day' but something today made my stiff upper lip quiver 'have yourself a wonderful day now'. I very nearly went into meltdown.

People who just have to let the world know they did an amazing kind thing, by repeating the same boring story on facebook and facebay again and again and again. Yes, ok we get it you did a good deed. Now get off your arse and go out and get a bloody job instead of pretending you are ill then boasting all about your wee job on the side. Lol if she reads this she will know exactly who I am talking about. Millions of people do kind thoughtful things every single day but don't go looking for the whole world to say "Aw what a kind wonderful person you are" Sorry rant over.

No offence intended, but the self-entitlement of many female professionals in London drives me insane.

Barking at you to give up a seat, pushing in queues... I can safely say that I get barged into by far more women than men on the Underground, despite being very tall and broad.

I broke my upper arm in 2012, and when on public transport it was men who overwhelmingly offered to give up their seats. So much for the more caring and empathetic gender.

This level of aloofness only seems to be noticeable in London.

I'm assuming that the infuriating over-use of 'obviously' and 'basically' within modern UK poverty-tier lexicon has already been covered?

I also hate it during conversation when people raise the inflection in their voice? So they sound like they are asking a question? When in fact, the are just making, like, a statement?

I had one this week. "Just helped a lady down the stairs with her pushchair."

Surely that's something most people would do? I don't see why it's worthy of posting on facebook like you've just cured cancer.

A type of headache that is too subtle to be a headache, but constant enough to feel like a headache.

This probably is probably a more than trivial annoyance, but the wage structure were I work is really doing my head in. Instead of being paid for, oh I don't know, the job you're doing, the pay is arbitrary structured around appraisal rating (which actually don't really matter at all), how long you've been there, what contract you were on if you were in a company and tupee'd over etc

What this means is I, working 5 days a week, earn roughly 10,000 less than the other people on my team who work 4 days week. Doing the exact same job. I am struggling for cash at the moment having bought a new flat and all the expenses that come with it so I have offered to do any overtime or work a Saturday and Sunday. So I could potentially be doing 6 days and earning less than someone doing 4. Doing the exact same job. It's frustrating when all the conversations around me are about skiiing holidays, jaunts in the countryside, new Audis etc whereas I'm wondering where I can find the 100 quid or so to fix my 15 year old car.

Yes, I have spoken to my managers about this who blinded me with science and yes, I have applied for other jobs but I don't really want another job; I like it here : /

The number of food adverts that describe their products as "fun" (Toffifee, Cheesestrings and Pringles all spring to mind).

Whenever I have a pringle it's because it tastes nice - I certainly don't do it to have fun.

Then what's the correct word for that moment you want to stress on what you're saying?

There are loads of stress words in Japanese so I assumed the equivalents in English are actually, obviously, etc. Was I wrong?

Yes, and the annoying "fun sized" Mars Bars etc. Oh that Mars Bar is smaller than a regular Mars Bar, oh what fun I'm having.
