    I saw a bloke the other day in the local supermarket (co-op), go to the cigarette kiosk which is 5 items or less, with 3 carpets/large rugs. What a mong.

    Mile -

    Your right about that wrist thing :) I`d forgotton but they did that with me, they tell you when your about 10 how tall you`ll be, with a 2 inch leeway in either direction. I was 4`6" `till I was about 18 so just buzzin` I got over 5 foot :)

    Wow - 4' 6" is very small for an 18 year old. I'm hardly the tallest guy but I was almost that height when I started secondary school aged 11! And by the time you're at school aged 17, some lanky gits are about 6'6". That must have been weird for you, being two feet shorter than some classmates. I actually briefly stopped growing properly because I had scoliosis, which is a curvature of the spine, but luckily I got an operation that sorted that crap out. I would have been a cripple otherwise :o

    Oh, and my nomination for Room 101? Celebrities that make programmes highlighting their charity work. Die Die DIE!!!!!! :D

    Websites that pointlessly replecate the Sun Java documentation all be it an out of date version leading to misconception and filling Google up with over 1000 links that are all similar thus pointless.

    Latest entry:

    People who put up their christmas decorations 6 weeks before christmas.

    I noticed three on the way to work today. Plastered in the crappiest, cheapest, tackiest pieces of shit I have ever seen. I love christmas, don't get me wrong - but it kinda spoils the uniqueness of the week before and after it when some clowns put their decorations up early. You get bored of it before it's started. It wouldn't be so bad if they decorated well, but it's always poundshop shit.

    Bah humbug etc

    I nominate....

    British people using American phrases, such as:
    "Go figure"
    "Can I get..." (as in "Can I get a Chicken Tikka Masala." when ordering a meal).
    "Oh my god!"
    "It's all good"
    "I'm good" (when asked how they are)

    and...

    People who use the words "random" and "literally" incorrectly.

    My boss uses the word 'obviously' all the time, but never in the right way. Occasions where she should, she never does. I don't think she understands the word really.

    The other day she had a flood at her home and was ringing people to get quotes on building work etc. She rang some builder and said:

    'Hi there. I've obviously had a flood and I'd like you to etc etc...'

    Obviously ? What ? So, every call they have is from flood victims ? She's a right wankspanner..

    Obviously.

    In addition, the annoying American use of the word "so" that is also starting to be used in the UK:

    "I so don't like that"
    "I'm so not gonna watch that"

    In conclusion, the world would be a much less irritating place if America (USA) did not exist. FACT

    A bit harsh on the Yanks there...

    One americanism that I don't like is - getting laid.

    Don't get me wrong - The physical act is great, but the term sounds daft - especially when you hear british people say it.

    People who use the phrase should be laid out.

    what do you say?

    i guess you say to your girlfriend 'making love'

    but to your mates 'sending mr sausage on a special mission' or something equally crass :)

    It's just the word laid. Makes me think of chickens / eggs. Daft I know.

    I also hate period.

    'Gee, I ain't never doin' that again. Period.'

    What ? Just a small period before you do, or a long one ? Still suggests you are at some point, which kinda suggests the opposite to what you are trying to imply.

    My missus can't shag me. Period.

    Thats more like it.

    I was not talking about the people, I just meant the land mass. Without it, the people would all live on boats. Therefore they would have to spend so much time concentrating on not sinking that they would not have time to invent silly phrases.

    Yeah, very tiny :) Funny thing is that in mid 80`s Britain they thought it preferrable to inject kids with something from the petuiatry glands of dead people than let them grow up to be small... doesn`t sound right eh, I said `no thanks` but a lot of the kids that took the treatment apparently ended up going mad or dying in their 20`s.. forget exactly the facts, I`ll have to google...

    Pleased to hear you got your back sorted out :), I can imagine you`d have been in for some pretty major pain if you hadn`t...

    Especially if they are going "Wow! Didn't know you could do that with a Speccy!" ... and ... "Eat your heart out HalfLife!"

    Backwards-sounding languages ... erm ... I mean, like in Japanese, they put the negative at the end of a sentence (in most cases) ... how embarrassing if you are trying to split up with your s.o. "I love you" and for a moment that's the happiest person in front of you until you actually finish the sentence "...not."*

    Anywho ... I love Japanese, very interesting language with it's own twists and turns. Swedish is also interesting but the pronouniciation of "s" and "7" just bugs the freaking chime out of me.

    *I guess it would have to be a written thing because the outcome of the sentence can in most cases be determined by the fluctuation of the voice or tone.

    Read 1984, Gah :-P

    now that that's dealt with,

    Yes - we know it's meant to be your worst nightmare.

    I've seen the movie starring John Hurt. The extremely badly maintained 'love-kipper' belonging to the woman he knocks off in the film is a nightmare in itself.

    Jesus H. Corbett! It looks like Terry Waite's allotment!
