    Same applies to people who use the 'literally'. Seems a newish thing Brits say. I was watching Going Underground on C5 last night (don't judge me) and someone in the control room said "the driver has literally phoned me just now".

    England home kit looks better than I expected in action. Dunno why Dutch are in blue though.

    One of my work colleagues told me the other day that he was "literally tied up".

    I had to smile.

    The incorrect use of Roman numerals when referring to a football team.

    It's XI, not X1. If you don't understand Roman numerals, don't bloody use them.

    They don't. The point of the post was to advertise to everybody that he understands Roman Numerals.

    It's worse when people are talking about a 58 cylinder engine and write it as V8

    Google's effort was particularly bad. There was no fooling involved, just an unfunny button on probably their most professionally used program.

    The angry response to it has made it all worthwhile, though.

    Drivers who purposely drive 5 miles below the speed limit.

    Also, people who are unaware that they are on a 40mph road. This happens everytime I drive down Chorleywood road.

    Those continually repeating posts on facebook about how we grew up as an 80's kid and everything was soooooooo much better back then. Yeah, you mean like:

    Smoking in cars while us kids sat in the back with the windows closed.
    Rampant racism and homophobia.
    No seat belts, airbags or abs.
    Jimmy Saville fixing it for you and Pedos running riot.
    3 channels on the TV and getting up to change channels.
    Heart clogging food.
    Phones with wires.
    No internet.
    100W bulbs.
    No smoke detectors.

    They never f***ing mention that do they?

    The fact that I gave my 9 year old carte blanche to choose any PG film to watch with me and Mr HH tonight, since her older sister was off in another room with three mates watching some preposterous tween movie, and she chose bloody Arachnaphobia.

    Just sampled a little bit of breakfast TV.

    I just hate the way that Lorraine Kelly is so sickly sweet and agreeable with anything her guests say.

    I just saw her change her own opinion twice in one sentence as she misread, and then had to switch and agree with what her guest was saying.

    Her favourite phrases,

    "Absolutely"
    "I agree with you 100%"
    "Good for you"
    "And why not"
    ....and she is so, double, no triple, PC.

    Piers Morgan can be a bit of a **** at times, but at least he is a bit interesting.
