  • Agh when people describe themselves as 'mad' or 'crazy', 'bonkers' or a complete 'nutter'- you just sound like a moron

    Now I'm worried, I describe myself as stupid but that is because I am very stupid,have no sense of direction and really have no common sense ( and I'm being kind to myself there :-) :rotfl:

    On Million Pound Drop when the contestants say "ooh Starsigns, could be anything, celebs' birthdays, could be anything, football, could be anything..."

    No it couldn't be anything, it's on one topic!
    Public appearances now involve clothing. Sorry, it's part of my bail conditions.

    "I'm 110% behind this idea".

    That's as maybe, but clearly you are an absolute dunce where maths is concerned and severely lacking in the logic department too.

    I had a classic one yesterday at my son't academic review at school.

    He's thinking of changing courses, the teacher doing the review said to him 'Don't burn your chickens'

  • My pet hates are:

    the overuse of the word blatantly

    people putting tired.com, or surprised.com. Why not just say I am tired?

    Another friend of mine always adds 'age' to the ends of her words which really annoys me, so if she watched a good film it would be a 'filmage'.

    And lastly, when people are looking forward to something and they put 'whoop whoop'.
