Title: More things that annoy me...
Post by: Roger Kettle on March 24, 2011, 07:48:02 PM
The over-use of the word "iconic". No longer are people and objects "well-known", they are "iconic".
Tinned potatoes. They're just a stupid, mushy, tastless waste of a tin.
T.V. insurance adverts that, for some reason, think they're amusing. And that includes those *!*!*!*! meerkats.

I'll be back.

To add to the list:-

Those annoying folk on buses/trains that emit a 't-chink, t-chink' sound from earphones
People who wheel a fully laden trolley up to the 'basket-only' checkout in a Supermarket then get peeved when the cashier points out the error of their ways
Cyclists who think that the Highway Code, red lights/one way streets don't apply to them

Roger it really annoys me that you have a camel's rectum in place of a left eye in your avatar picture.

Diane, to be honest, I don't think I've ever been in a situation where a camel's rectum might bother me but I take your point.
As I've mentioned before, the avatar is of my hero, Charles de Rudio. It's probable that one of the moderators of this site tampered with the image, thus creating the illusion you mention.
Surely Mince wouldn't tamper with a camel's rectum?

Mince obviously has no respect for the iconic leader of our group, or for that matter, the private parts of camels.

I'm not sure exactly how much respect Mince has for me, Diane.

Seeing those iconic meerkats eating tinned potatoes would be the stuff of nightmares for you, I'd imagine, Roger.

I think the Direct Line ads are utter class.
The guy from Pointless is superb and the woman worrying about her guinea pigs is priceless. I've written to her with a proposition.
