French numbers after 69. It's infuriatingly stupid. Why not continue with the same system that's worked perfectly well for 20+, 30+, 40+, 50+ and 60+?! But no, lets abandon all logic and make 70 be said as sixty ten, make 99 be said as four times twenty plus nineteen, and everything between be equally ludicrous. Inexplicable.

Not all french speakers adhere to those names for those numbers. Some Belgian or Swiss dialects use the archaic septante for 70, huitante, nonante, etc. You'd get a very funny look from most of the garlic crunching, surrender monkeys in la République Francaise if you used those much tidier and sensible terms but they'd all know what you meant.

When you reverse 100 yards up a narrow country lane to find a gap and the driver coming the other way just stares straight ahead as though you don’t exist.
I've just had a 'how did we do' email re a delivery of a Sky hub. I awarded top marks with the observation that someone managed to put it in a box, attach an address label and put it in the post. Good work indeed!

This. Everything I buy/see I get a f£$%&£ survey request. How about answer your bleeding phones instead of sending out surveys you c£$%$.
The ones that annoy me are the ones that ask, 'how likely are you to recommend us to a friend or colleague'. My answer is always the same, zero chance. Because I'm not the sort of sad fucker that goes around recommending random stuff from no-mark companies.
