Things or people that annoy you

[simon.r]

People (for example, me until very recently) who think 'its' when used in its possessive form has an apostrophe between the 't' and the 's'.

Not getting it?

I refer the honourable gentleman to my earlier post:

I may possibly have had beer

Fairynuff

My father likes to say 'fairy muff', in replacement for this.

Just as long as it isn't 'Hairymuff'

Only on special occasions! He likes to crack a joke to me at family functions and make me laugh like a madperson infront of all the family.

And just to go back to topic.... I'm adding reality TV to the list of annoying things!

Depends on what it is though, I mean Airport was good, but Big Brother is crap?

One I saw recently that I liked was 'The Tube'





....Oh god you have got me all paranoid now, is it

'Which I liked'

Or

'That I liked'??


:-)

The Tube was brilliant! But was it really reality TV?

Thinking about it, I've decided it probably was. So, changing to: reality tv with scenes created for entertainment. The Only Way is Essex etc.

Actually, I seem to remember what must have been an April Fools joke in one of the railway magazines several years ago. Apparently, they were going to change the signs at stations to be more easily read by people not so good at reading, I.e. they were to be spelt as they were said.

About the only one I can remember now was the proposal for

'Lundun Yoostin'

Didn't pick up on this the first time I read this, and I can honestly say....I have no idea!

Which I'm glad about, still paranoid that I'm on the slippery slope to Points of View & The Radio Times complainers.

Surely if you're from London (which I am, but glad I'm not there now) it would be: Laaandaan Yuhstan ...which actually looks quite exotic.

It might even have been 'Lundin', but it was definitely 'Yoostin'.


'Norich', 'Nyuhcasle', 'Carlyle', 'Edinburuh Waverly'.....

'Norich', Nyewcasle, Carlyle, Edinburu Waverly.....

This sounds brilliant. Would they be written as people locally say them? Or as they should be pronounced in Queen's English?
