    If you're just going to steal them anyway, why complain? You could just use your old ones though, like every other normal person.

    Hearing "Oh, my days!". I dunno, it's just such a * thing to say.

    Football commentators (all of them, it seems) using the word 'turnover'. When and why the * did that start?

    At corners in every football match the ref stopping the game to talk to two * pulling and pushing each other. Just leave them to it and give a foul/penalty or book both of them

    "4 in a bed" (no not that one) where people are getting there hotels visited by competitors and their rooms are dirty. Why wouldn't your rooms be spotless?

    Jeremie Frimpong used to say that all the time in his post match interviews. "Oh my days..."
    It's an English saying. I don't know what it's an abbreviation of....But it's one of those old sayings that avoid 'taking the Lord's name in vain'. They used to take this very seriously in the old days (my days!)..one of the 10 commandments etc.

    That's how it would have originated.....that doesn't make it any less annoying however

    Fullers pubs calling their set menu a prix fixe. You're a pub not a * French restaurant. I get they have a lot of middle class * who want their lunchtime fix but just say set menu.

    What's next, McDonald's calling their £5 meal deal a prix fixe.

    Yup. Just book them whilst they are still fighting by putting them in the book but don’t show the yellow card. They will think they got away with it until next time when they get a “surprise “ red card

    Irish lad who is sometimes on the Glasgow to Edinburgh and Glasgow to Alloa line is a brilliant representative for his company,genuinely nice man who even occasionally keeps folk entertained doing magic tricks etc.

    There’s some right jobsworths but a lot of really nice folk who will help you out when you need it.

    Worked on London Underground.
    Asian * in training centre accused me of being racist. Was only white in the class.
    Hadn’t even closed the door as I entered the room and hadn’t even spoken to anyone.
    Went over to him and warned him that he would finish class in a body bag if he said that again in front of tutor.
