    People who think that they can get a decent University degree from carrying out "research" by using a free questionnaire provider and posting links on forums for people to fill it out, with no details on what it's for, what it's about or who they are.

    putting the word Baby in front of a babies name, ir baby Gorge or baby Emma.

    We know they are a baby by their size, we don't call them Toddler George, Teenager Emma or Adolescent Aaron

    When a couple of 'like minded' people continually recite lines from their favourite comedy shows. In their small world they think that everybody finds them hilarious, when in actual fact people think they just sound like a couple of David Brent's.

    Shows favoured by these bores: Little Britain, Catherine Tate, The Fast Show and worst of all Monty Python, which wasn't even funny when it was originally recorded (I'll definatley get some abuse for that comment)

    A lot of python probably wasn't that funny. And I hate people who quote a lot. However some was very good. Trouble is once you've decided ( like your film thread) that you aren't going to enjoy it, it is difficult to do so. People will recommend things and scenes but it's down to personal choice

    Family holiday resort patrons. Basically a bunch of tattooed, smoking, drunk zombies who shame me by technically being the same species as I am, let alone the same nationality.

    Seriously, you have England tattooed on your neck? Is That in case you get lost overseas and need help getting back to your country of origin?

    And most of their kids are ****s

    With young kids it seemed like the easiest option, but seriously, it's vile.

    Even with kids would recommend finding a decent small hotel even on trip advisor, theyre usually fine if it has a pool, decent breakfast and eat out. I feel your pain. The sun bed fights etc.

    Yeah. Nothing left in the grocery stores and running out of hurricane beer. They're even going to make me go back to work on Tuesday, if I can get any gas to make the drive there.

    Found out the night before landfall my home insurance didn't cover floods, like 80% of people in the Houston area and there's a 30 day waiting period when you sign up. Nervous couple of days being 100 yards from the ocean watching water rise, but never made it into the house despite being knee deep in the street at one point. Lots of people nearby absolutely devastated so we really just got lucky. About 20 homes in the neighborhood directly behind us had 6ft of water and lost everything. Looks like a war zone.

    Having posted the original comment and then seeing how it played out I did think it was a bit too glib. Hope you and yours are okay and stay safe.

    Kettles that pour too slowly.

    Especially the ones that if you try and pour quicker, let the water come out of the lid and go all over the worktop.

    On a similar subject, why do small milk jugs provided with a black coffee in a cafe/restaurant have a badly designed spout that means that the milk runs down the side and all over the saucer and table, instead of in the frigging cup?

    Office rant coming up...

    People who eat breakfast at their desk, clanking away with their spoon whilst trying to get the scraps of cereal from their bowls. It annoys me for several reasons:

    1. I CANNOT STAND the sound of cutlery scraping against cutlery or crockery. It makes me shiver.

    2. It's unprofessional. What is this, breakfast club? Either eat breakfast in the office kitchen, or get up earlier and eat breakfast at home. WTF?

    'you're sh*t Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!' When a keeper takes a goal kick.

    I thought that this ceased to be used in the late 80's/very early 90's. However I was surprised to find Leicester fans performing it with gusto every time Gomes took a kick at the Vic last season. At first I thought that it was just because they are northern Neanderthals who didn't realise that we are now in a different century but shockingly Brighton fans also did it the other week.

    Just stop it, its no longer funny, doesn't put the keeper off and doesn't annoy anybody except for me.

    Who was it at the Vic' (I was there and remember us all laughing in the Rookery - I think it was in GFZ's reign) that did the first "Yoooooooooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..........[KICK] fat b'stard"?

    Question for you as you are/we're/have been a waiter:

    A) Why do waiters wait for me to get a mouth full of food before appearing at the table to ask 'how is everything?'. I tend to nod and say 'yes it's all fine' whilst trying not to spit bits of half chewed food across the table - is this part of the waiter's self-amusement?

    B) What the hell am I supposed to do when you ask if I wish to taste the wine. I tend to say 'no that's fine, go ahead and pour' but I suspect that I'm expected to spend three minutes swishing it around the glass, letting it settle, observe the way it clings to the glass, smelling it before sampling the smallest smidgen and declaring it is fit for my guests. I reality they are more concerned by the alcohol content and the amount you have left in the cellar.

    I'm not lucky enough to be a waiter.
    However (B) you are checking if the wine is corked.
    It's not about your approval of the flavour.

    So no need to taste if a screw top.
    You should really be offered the cork to sniff.
    If they do insist on pouring a little for you instead simply smell to check it isn't off

    Tasting the wine is vulgar

    You are doing the right thing ... I tend to add that "it's ok I know this wine" not that it's always true.

    Since the introduction of plastic corks and screwcaps it's very unlikely you will find a corked bottle although it can happen with mishandling (i.e. dented screwcaps).

    You farking plebs - wine from bottles with "screwcaps"??? Everyone knows the only safe (and classy) way to store and serve wine is from
    metallized plastic bags in cardboard boxes.
