O/T Pet Gripes

[wolves71]

Work colleagues that continually moan about where they work. But they never do anything about it, ie move on or show ambition to find another one.

So many, but here's a few to be going on with....

References to "Beijing", "Mumbai" and "Myanmar" instead of using their corrects: Peking, Bombay and Burma.

Folks who insist on jetting abroad to somewhere HOT at Christmas, then actually think you envy them!!??!! Wrong on two fundamental levels: going abroad anywhere at Christmas is patently wrong, but to compound that by jetting off to a HOT climate is unforgivable. Christmas should be spent freezing at home in blighty with family, huddled around a real fire (blizzard outside preferable) eating roast chestnuts and telling ghost stories with Morecambe & Wise on telly in the background and Slade on the wireless.

Suet Dumplings - Since I cannot appreciate flavours, texture is more important than ever in the enjoyment of food. Swallowing these horrible things (which look by the way like fawn coloured balls of dung) feels the same going down as a ball of vomit feels when coming up. Makes me retch.

Hard to argue, Tony, I agree with every one of your gripes except the Muppets ((Hey, Ho" - Kermit the Frog), though honestly do not know anything about "Suet Dumplings."

Tequila slammers and or the new culture of downing shots....why spend good money on a two second glug of liquid that makes you contort your face and tastes like nasty medicine?

[sweeneywolf]

The Americans obsession and overuse of the descriptor, AWESOME !

..and how did the phrase "from the get go" slip into the vernacular???

[Newcy Wolf]

In a similar vein,

Especially when used by middle aged men.

How the **** did they ever cope before mainstream phones?
Absolute t0ssers.
