    The way Steve Bruce speaks English.

    I think it's a Man Utd thing. Virtually all of the managers who played under Fergie at Man U during the 90's are afflicted with "Whispering Syndrome"

    Mark Hughes, Steve Bruce, Paul Ince, Roy Keane, and Bryan Robson kind of preceded them all with the low monotone. You wouldn't want to be stuck in a room with that lot without a hearing aid.

    People that are so stupid they stop and talk in or around entrances/exits. Absolute fucking idiots. If you wanna have a chat, stand to the side out the fucking way. Groups of Backpack foreigners are the worst for this.

    French are a nitemare for this

    Add to this people who walk around trying to push a trolley with one hand and holding their precious coffee in the other;
    So, ok, I'm like soooo busy, I literally have to have my coffee to go.
    Coffee C***s, as I think of them.

    Ppl on the front carriage of the DLR who ignore the clear messages that front 2 sets of doors at Cutty Sark won't open.

    They then proceed to look at the tunnel wall through the doors in a blind panic and then proceed to smash all and sundry all over the place when trying to get to the opening doors.

    Happens every night without fail.

    This.

    My train between home and uni splits at Faversham. It's hilarious every time when at least 3 groups of people end up in the wrong half of the train and start screaming 'which carriage am I in?!' After its been announced ever 30 seconds for the last 40 mins and has been constantly on the little text boards in the train. You have to be a complete pillock or unable to speak English to get it wrong. I take great pleasure in telling them the wrong answer and hoping they end up in the wrong place.

    Years ago a lot of Sidcup trains used to go fast from Waterloo East to New Eltham. The amount of times people hadn't paid attention, went to get off at London Bridge and the train just sailed through. Cruel, but it always made me laugh.

    It's going to happen tomorrow and people here probably do it but:

    Using the wrong door in any public place. Eg going in via the exit door for toilets or exiting via the in door.
    Read the bloody sign!! Stop being lazy and just have decency to use the right door. Please.

    I don't know his full name, but they refer to him as Mike on BBC breakfast. Basically because the BBC have f*** all sport in their repertoire anymore, this Mike character gets sent to try all these ridiculous speciliast interest sports every week that only a fraction of the population care about, similar to the levels of interest in the Scottish football League

    Mike gets dressed up and put through his paces trying to talk about how popular these specialists sports when they're really not, and he does it in a manner that winds me up

    I saw a brief clip today of him on a motocross bike in full gear, with some poor guy running along next to him holding him up. Like a 3 year old child on their first bike. What is the point???

    If it's Mike Bushell you're talking about, he annoys me anyway simply because he's so bloody try hard despite clearly not being cut out for broadcasting. I can't think of anyone in the entertainment business with such a stark lack of charisma.
    When he joins the presenters on the sofa, he always tries to engage them in some trivia that nobody cares about or just a conversation that nobody is interested in having at that time of the morning about some sporting person and every time, (and I mean every time), the presenters listen politely with that look on their faces that you get when you've been cornered by some bore at a function when you're desperate to talk to someone across the room (Think Alan Partridge at Tony Hayers' funeral).
    If you've never noticed this before, I'm extremely confident you'll see what I mean next time you watch.
    It genuinely looks to me like he's simply tolerated by the rest of the presenters.

    Actually, I feel sorry for him rather than annoyed with him, because he appears to be a nice, but maybe a bit boring, chap. I do wish he'd change his career though, because he's shit on the telly. I expect he's got a journalism background, so maybe he should just write about sport.

    With Bruce (and possibly Robson) it's the use of 'wor' and 'tret' and other strange words.

    Yes it's him. What I like is when he tries to talk about how much fun and and interesting whatever he's doing is. It's not. It's a specialist interest sport, liked by a limited amount of people, that's why the BBC is covering it.

    I think posting on this forum is fun and interests me, but I wouldn't want Mike and the BBC cameras turning up whilst I'm trying to post my latest email to Katrien up on here and talking the general public through that, because it probably wouldn't interest them. That's exactly how I see him and his reporting

    The lloyds bank adverts - the one that annoys me particularly is the one where they say 'if your next move is one you weren't prepared for'

    Well if a huge black horse comes running through my place of work or house, then yes, I'm not prepared

    Spotify has deemed it acceptable to pop a Celtic song on my Spotify Playlist this week. Shit in itself, but not the end of the world...

    However, considering it's chorus is solely "Oh Ah, Up The 'Ra!" I'm actually pretty pissed off to be entirely honest. Especially considering the football version (The song is from a Celtic football album ffs.) is apparently supposed to be "Oh Ah, Up The Celts!".

    May not seem a big deal, but it's pissed me right off.
