    Couldn't agree more.

    What about white people eating Indian, Chinese, Thai food, does that break the rules.

    French supermarket car parks -

    - The French, 2 a man, insisting on parking as close to the supermarket doors as humanly possible, even if it means not parking in a designated bay. They then walk FURTHER away from the shop doors to get their trolley.

    - My Mrs, wanting me to drop her off as close to the supermarket doors as humanly possible, even though she's just enrolled in a local Tough Mudda training group.

    When I go mesrlf, I park 50 meters or so away from the supermaket, where there's shit loads of space and a massive trolley park to dump the trolley off after

    Another one are we obsessed with everything American?
    American is technically British, they made sure they stamped almost all of the American out of the lands.

    Awesome is an English word meaning something you are in awe of. It's hardly a negative thing for people to be so positive.

    Tesco Lewisham is the same.

    'Team' - when you go to certain shops, you walk in, and there is a sign up, 'Terry the Toady and the Team welcome you to Shitmart, enjoy our unique shopping experience'. You are not, have never been and never will be a team, you're just a bunch of non-achievers who happen to work in the same khazi.

    Sorry Dazzler but I don’t need an English lesson or a dictionary description I know what it means.

    But it isn’t a word I’ve heard, if ever, used by british people in the way the Americans use it, every other word seems to be F ing AWESOME.

    It may be as @iaitch says now being used to replace the over used AMAZING!

    The last place that I knew who still served it was Charlton Cons.

    Use to get on that with me brother in The Princess of Whales up Blackheath on a Friday afternoon. The perfect was to start the weekend.

    Loved Caffreys an all back then, which I thought was similar, but I'm not sure they still do it. I was told by a landlord once that pubs have to put in special lines for it, so don't bother. Maybe @Riviera may know more

    Marcus Brigstocke

    Whilst he doesn’t annoy me, I really don’t get him
    Saw him at the Greenwich comedy festival a few years ago. He started his act by telling the audience how difficult it was to be a stand up comedian and challenged the audience to get on stage and tell a joke just to see how difficult it was. So he went along the first couple of rows and pointed his mike ino the faces of all the people who were cowering and hiding behind their hands etc. Of course what he also did was to ignore anyone like me who firstly put their hand up and then shouted to him "Hey Marcus I'll do it". Then he gets back on stage and says something like "See! There you go. Not so easy is it?"
    And I had such a good joke ready....
    Gonna have to tell us the joke now. And don't worry, I haven't built it up
    No worries it was an excellent joke but of it's time. ie It was 2011 and before the subject of the joke had realised his potential.

    "My wife said to me the other day that I reminded her of Andy Murray. "Oh right" I cheekily replied "Is that because I struggle to get past a semi?"

    "No" she said, "It's because you're a cunt."

    Only in a crappy pub where the choice was Carling, Stella, and John Smith's. And I was underage.

    The 90s were overrated, boozewise. Quantiy over quality

    Good point Len. But there must be some "general" things on here. Obviously we are all annoyed by Roland and Katrien "specifically", rather than Belgian people "generally". Conversely, I'm annoyed by Crystal Palace supporters "in general", rather than Eddie Izzard and Kevin Day "specifically".

    Where does "general" become "specific"?

    A fecking random idiot wanting to buy Valli from me in the street, telling him "She's not for sale" he offered 20k. He'd probably never seen 20k, I told him to go away, sell his house and his car and it still wouldn't be enough. Sickeningly today is 2 years to the day JJ's mums second and last litter were stolen from Essex and never seen again despite a 50k reward. :(
