15. Drivers who do sudden u-turns apparently upon impulse at mini-roundabouts. 16. People sneezing near me without using a handkerchief. (One way to clear a supermarket aisle of OAPs I suppose, Johnny.) 17. Having to repeat myself to someone who heard me perfectly well the first time. What am I, a bleeding parrot ? (Enters Fred Elliott mode) I say, having to repeat myself..............

I think the reason people say "what" isn't because they miss heard you, I beleive people do get there English messed up! Most people mean to say "Why", but for some strange reason say "what"! They are making sure they understand everything so they don't look stupid when asking "why"!
Does that make any sense what so ever?

Yes, it does sound like a phrase I know from somewhere. Don't know if I got the words in the right order:

Now that they have decided that Pluto is not a planet but a big fat mass they should rename it Prescott

Like that idea a lot Dave. Comparisons can be drawn thus : - both have been recognised for too long before the inevitable conclusion was eventually reached that they were pointless; - both have been downgraded/suffered a loss of status; - both have an association with Mickey mouse; - nonetheless neither have gone away, but still remain there to annoy us. ;D

Returning to thread topic...

Is it OK to just say "no comment" or should I not be saying anything at all.
I feel like Gordon Brown, but where are you going to find him at this time of day?
Johnny, do you just find words in a dictionany and throw them on a piece of paper, then type what it says? ;D ;)
Now THAT bugs me!

18. Junk mail: Oi, Morgan Stanley, no ! For the umpteenth time, I don't want your credit card. 19. Rogue traders, especially those who prey on old people. 20. The little f*ckp!g who keeps nicking the tyre valve caps off my car - whilst it's parked right outside my house too. :'( Now on my fourth set.

..........Gypsies
Tramps
Thieves
People who make songs about the above
B & Q sales assistants
Our 'A' team beating us (doesn't happen too often though ;) )
People who mow their lawn at 8am on a Sunday (Probably pensioners before they go shopping)
Public Transport

Your jocular posts are quite fascinating, however they have been known to antagonize other users! :P :P :-*

I do not (usually) try to antagonise people, unless they do so to me, and then I get in first!!!!

My car is bugging me at the moment as the indicators are very quiet and I sometimes leave them going without knowing it. Then you get some other driver attracting your attention, and shouting "Winker!" at you. You finally realise what is happening and you switch it off, and give the other driver the thumbs up.
Then sometimes you THINK they are shouting "Winker", but you haven't left your indicators going so you think about it and put your finger up instead.

Pete, these are not things to bug you - these are signs of premature ageing!
