Ah, the obligatory takeaway "stingemaster", as me and me mates call them. That one member of staff who serves up smaller portions than normal as if they're paying for it out of their own pocket.

Oh I detest the wrong pronounciation of Latin. People can be such boors.

Although the Erasmian prounounciation is probably somewhat wrong in itself when it comes to Latin or Greek. But hey you have to have some kind of unified standard after which you can pass judgement on others. ;)

I had this situation not too long ago. Ordering pizza for the team and the manager tells me to find someplace cheaper as if the company isn't paying for it.

Those public service announcements on Facebook that end with a guilt tripping line that says "most of you probably won't share this image, but if you care, you will".

Why not just let the image or PSA speak for itself and let others decide whether it's worth a share on their "timeline" without the psychological manipulation?

Too grammatically correct.

Static electricity. Apparently I'm a walking discharging battery today. I zap everything today often before I actually touch.

Any other objections?

Spray tans, stupid faces, horribly overdone makeup... she embodies it all.

Well she's a skank so....

Wojo I do not even have to touch. The door frame to my office is metal and I can be 6 inches away and it arcs across to zap me.

The other day when I got home from work Frances my Aussie came to great me. I blue spark jumped from her nose to my lips. She yelped and I fell backwards. Ouch

Listening to music with headphones on and you visit a website that has a video advertisement that plays automatically.

"Yeah, your car insurance jingle fits in really well with my string quartet. Congratulations, now I hate your company even more."

Any eating/drinking establishment which only serves Pepsi, and not Coke. Whyyyyyyyyyy?

Misuse of apostrophes (or lack of) drives me up the wall, especially in a professional context.

This.

If your website's main reason for existence is not to play videos, then you should never, ever, ever allow anything to auto-play.

I hate that too... it's highly annoying. I hate the mobile version of Youtube because it plays commercials right before a video where on the pc version I've got that blocked.

Doctor Who fangirls who are now 'done with the show' because Peter Capaldi is 'too old, EWWW' and they can't get all wet-knickered over him the same way they did over David Tennant and Matt Smith.

The Tardis doors are over there, you dumb shallow bitches ... don't let them hit you in the ass on your way out, now. God knows how you'd have coped in the 'classic' years when the only remotely 'pretty' Doctor was Peter Davison.

Wasnt Tom Baker a bit of a looker? In that rough 1970's man's man way?

Bloody well said Blunters. I fear I'm no big Dr Who fan but the nail has been hit firmly on the head. A vaguely similar peeve (or just a peeve) was the pre-Sherlock hype this year with these fangirly types and the slashy Sherjohn or whatever it was coined. And this "will he come back" or "he can't die!"...fail to see the point Sherlock is based on these books written eons ago where...quelle surprise, Holmes did return. Oh for those halycon Brett days.

(a pet peeve of late is the lack of an 'excuse me' and often 'thank you' when at work by idiot customers who just address you when your back's turned. Or simple lack of manners).

As you were.

I'm sorry, but what are you talking about?

At the end of the series 2 finale, we the viewer already saw that Sherlock survived. The only question was how he did it, and how would John react when he found out he was alive. Not if he was alive or not - that was always known.

The way some girls carried on, some of what was said in quarters, suggested they believed he might not ever come back.

Still, I tried not to immerse myself in such fantasies for long.

Can't get the bloody quote thing to work at all, so -

To Stefancos ... not sure about that, but Baker's autobiography does confirm that playing the Doctor got him his fair share of 'action' all right.

And cheers, Hilly/Strangways.

There's more reasons/obstacles not to post these days than there are reasons to post, I'm finding. Not to mention the really friggin annoying keyboard lag I've been enduring since the last board update. But whatever.
