Is this the Rockinghorse road bit you were talking about? I think they should have kept to the theme of old school childrens toys. Spinning top lane, Penny whistle st and Jigsaw avenue

Crumble Froo

but that's a different section of sections. ALL the roads leading off rockinghorse road are bird's names, usually kiwi birds, at that. (lol, initially i thought 'godwit' was a weird christian thing...)... but then out of nowhere! mermaid street! why?! why!?

i do frequently tell the b/f that i want to live somewhere though just cos it's got a highly amusing street name.

I wouldn't mind, but the outcome of wrestling matches is predetermined.

If you're going to pick a sport to try and compare to football, for the love of jesus don't pick a sport where grown men prance about in lycra pretending to hit eachother.

That's a damn good idea for a TV show. Must get in touch with Sky, or even Endemol!

Use of the word 'owned' or 'ownage' when people hurt themselves by accident.

People who are vocabulary deficient and say things are cool because they're "different". I mean different to what? Specifics please!
Bad grammar, homophobia, snobbery, rudeness and double standards are well up there too....

Rant on my brethren!!

People who say -

"I seen it" and "I done it".

Also any other bad grammar and spelling.

LOL. I nearly lost my coffee, and my keyboard, when I read that one :rolleyes:

people who say o instead of zero when reading out a telephone number.

I work in a call centre, and always say 'zero' when I'm reading out a phone number and half the callers then say 'you mean O?' in a really patronising way. No, I mean zero, O is a letter. Don't talk to me as if I'M the stupid one.

I just hate patronising people in general really. A lot of people assume I'm thick because I work in a call centre, and just talk to me like I'm slow, like tell me their address REALLY slowly 3 times, and then say 'have you got that, love?' Even worse are people who just ASSUME you won't know something, like the guy yesterday who went 'the town is Llandudno, you won't know it, it's in Wales' (actually yes I do know it, loads of my relatives live there and I've been a million times), 'The street name is Las Murallas, I'll spell that for you cos you won't get it, it's a Spanish word, you know' (well, I only have a degree in Spanish, I've only lived, studied and worked in Spain and do half my job though Spanish, but yeah, what would I know?) Aghhhh. It's so rude to assume someone won't know something, fair enough if you're trying to be helpful, but it's so fecking rude to assume.

Also, people who stand chatting in the middle of the pavement, or in a doorway, totally oblivious and then give you a dirty look for trying to squeeze past.

Irish commuters, the biggest morons of all the commuters in the world. Absolutely no concept of manners, decency or common sense. Just stand looking at you like you're an idiot when trying to point out that there's LOADS of space in the Luas, if people would move down the aisles instead of crowding round the door. One woman said could we not see it was full and we'd have to wait until after rush hour. Oh right, I'll be an hour late for work so you can have your nice 'personal space' around you and not feel cramped. Another guy rolled his eyes and said 'well why didn't you ask them to move down?' Oh, is it not at all obvious that people are missing the Luas while there's piles of space inside? Would it not be common sense? And are there not signs on every door saying to move down the aisles to let people on? Yeah, that's right, I'M the thicko.

The DART people are just as bad, yesterday I actually saw a guy miss one at Pease station because he couldn't get into it, and everyone was giving out to him as if he was doing something wrong! The train was absolutely nowhere near full, there were even seats left, and everyone was crowded around the door like sheep, just looking at him blankly. It was the most ludicrous thing I've ever seen. There was loads of space inside! Selfish morons.

Same thing on the toll bridge when they have their wallet under their fat asses or their bag on the back seat especially at the exact change barriers. Feel like beating the sh1t out of them with my steering lock.
'Mums Run' women with the huge SUVs that they have no idea how to drive. I think schools should start at 10 to ease congestion in the morning, besides, whats wrong with walking or buses. Thats how it was done in my day.
Cars parking on corners of busy junctions making you drive out into the junction to see whats coming.
Cars that will drive past a slow moving queue and then at the last moment try to push in in front of you. Never let them, if you hit them they will be done for dangerous driving (jumping lanes).
People who drive on your back bumper. Slam on the brakes and when they hit you sue the b**tards. Make sure to drive slowly or you risk whip lash or worse. I cannot condone this as it is probably illegal but those dogs, cats, footballs, children have a habit of appearing on the road at the most inopportune moments.
People at cash machines with several cards that they insert and then don't withdrawn any money.
People who stand in queues at a deli counter and only decide what they want (eventually) when they are been served regards of how long they were waiting in the line.
Cyclists at night (in dark clothes) with no lights or reflective clothing. Even worse when it rains. They should been fair game and not given preferential treatment by the law, courts if hit. If a car or motorbike is involved in an accident at night with no lights on they will be screwed to the wall. I am not been biased here, I have traveled on all those modes of transport over the years, Bike-Motorbike-Car so I can appreciate what I am saying. It hurts to crash on/in all of them. Been there/Done that.

The phrase "thanking you". In my experience, used only by 30-something middle managers who like to think of themselves as trendy and down with the kids because they don't wear a tie to work and listen to Razorlight.

Also back in the days when i used bebo, people who I barely knew/liked and people who never spoke 2 words to me in school adding me as a friend in a desperate attempt to make themselves look more popular. "Wow, I have 50 million friends, aren't I just the greatest?".

Omigod I'm so with you on both of these and also raise you the other new and incredibly unimaginative addition to the Quality Street family... a square of chocolate (green wrapper).

I mean some r&d please people. There are standards to be followed!

As for the green crisps I in my human dustbin-ness and complete piggery do indeed eat them but always wonder if I really should....
