And in at 9 is another entry for the Killers...
I had to sit through an hour of there so called flamboyant pop last night at the sheffield arena(I was on the guest list before you accuse me of funding them). Low points were the joy division cover and a new tune that sounded like sub Joshua tree stadium rock, also a new tune they did which was a reggae/funk/disco hybrid ellicited the response from myself 'well there all playing a nice tune, its a shame its not the same one'
Put it this way, the wife is a fan and we left at the encore because they had played all the tunes she wanted to.
Highlight of the evening for me was a can of Tuborg in the VIP area

At least I wont be drinking Tuborg..... actually, this is in Glasgow, so it is bound to be that tennants shit. Crap, won't even get a decent drink.

Out of interest, who was supporting Tuesday night? and what time did they go on stage? Si is leaving boro at 5 ish and expecting to get to Glasgee by 8!

[Houdini]

Some incomprehensible jibberish.

Just thank yourself lucky you're not drinking my manors' local tipple:



Fuck me, I'd rather suck cock than drink Holsten.  Holsten is going in!

[butters]

Would be surprised not to find them in there already but just in case they have been over looked somehow the Catholic Church can go straight into Room 101 for this! Fuck wits of the highest order!!

So you must consume Hamburg's other famous beverage, Alsterwasser ?

of is your local based in Wandworth where they (used to?) brew that Fullers crap?

People at work who insist on refering to 2010 as "o-ten". Firstly, its not an "o", its a zero, and secondly its not 20010 for another eighteen thousand years.

[SA Chris]

Definitely needs to go into room one-oh-one??

[Jaspersharpe]

Are people actually saying that? What knobs!

[dave]

yep, bearing in mind at my work you hear such misnomers as "expresso", "hyperchondriact", "drownding", "kekkell", "marshmellows", "buffit" (for "buffet"), "short shift" (i.e. means "short shrift"), "antipasta" (apparently this is an italian starter made from durum wheat and antimatter), "semt" (for "seemed"), and uses the phrase "built like a brickhouse", all said by the same person.

my boss also doesn't understand the difference between a space and an underscore. bearing in mind she works as a data administrator.

[SA Chris]

A old boss of mine had some classics -

lay all your eggs out on the table

you scratch your back, I'll scratch mine

I kid you not.

He also used to use the word pacific instead of specific. And said "could of done it" all the time.

Can I stick that WooMe pop-up advert with the two people "dancing" in it in room one oh one? Possibly the most annoying thing I have seen in a while.

"marshmellows"   

Some phrases which I hear too often round here are.

"A starter for ten"
"Managing expectations"
"Get our foot in the door"
"I'm an FTD"

Ah yes! Sounds like you've been around graduates from my old employer over there (company initials FC, responsible for peddling bad "habits" - 7 of them!)

"Good is the enemy of great" was one I particularly loathed, inevitably heard from some bastion of mediocrity who could "talk the talk"....oh look, there's another one!

Whats a "pop-up advert"? 

[SA Chris]

I'll get onto the IT Department and ask them to change it right away. Smug git

Bloody jobsworthism.

Just down in London, went to pick tickets up from Sheffield station and I realised I'd brought the wrong card with me - I've got 2 accounts with the same bank, just happened to have used the 'bills' account to buy the tickets with for some reason.

Big mistake - apparently they have to see the card used to buy the tickets for 'fraud reasons'...and a card from the same bank, in the same name won't do, neither will a couple of other forms of ID (happen to have passport on me)...

So, a trip to London goes from £36 (original ticket) to over £100 when I have to spend £68 on a full price return just because I can't show them the right first direct card.

DAMMMITTTT!!

[DaveC]

I would like to propel any 'expert' in any field who uses the expression 'perfect storm' to emphasize a point, through the door of room 101 with a hard kick up the arse!

Here's the latest example I've seen! Do none of these fuckwits have the imagination to think up a different metaphor?

I know it's more of the same, but just had a conversation where a guy said something was marked on a spreadsheet with an asterix. I said I couldn't see any cartoon gauls anywhere, but I don't think he understood.

The bit of plastic in the back of trainers that slowly over time bends forwards and rubs its way through the overlying material that forms the internal lining of the trainer until one day it suddenly rips a chunk out of the skin covering my achilles tendon simply because I'm too lazy to bother untying my shoelaces.

Badly designed, idle slacker unfriendly arsecakes.

[Jaspersharpe]

People who are too lazy to untie their shoelaces and then whinge when they fuck their trainers up by pulling them off with the laces still tied.

Did your mother teach you nothing?
