I hate it when people use words incorrectly like loose and lose

i hate it 3ven moar wen ppl se bizarre abbreviations to talk 2 people.

For the simple fact that English is not the only language people speak.

I understand firsthand how dodgy translation software really is. Having posted on various French, German, Spanish, Russian and even the occasional Japanese and Korean (always a nightmare) boards in the past and used software to translate.

Spelling mistakes and poor grammer i forgive willingly, i make several of these myself, no one is perfect. However when dealing with a medium like a forum where theres no need for instant communication... Then i firmly believe theres room for spending time to ensure that your posting is of a certain standard. I generaly always read over my posts and wonder if my grandmother could read it without a 14 year old translating.
If she cant then an English to Russian text translator is not going to work.

If your texting or instant messaging then things are vastly different, time and space are short. Thats never the case with a forum posting or email.

Especialy considering that everything posted is an archive to allow the rest of humanirty to avoid the same pitfalls as you, very important when dealing with problem subjects like "How do i get my Eurovox to work?" or "My PC went blie and spouted STOP: IRQ LESS THAN EQUAL TO 000ffa...." postings where another user from a complately different country could use the search feature and save himself a lot of time and effort overcomming the language barrier.

Many things pi55 me off but here are just a few


1/ cloth handkerchiefs, on my recent visit to the uk I was sitting in a bar across from an elderly gentleman, he produced with a flurry out of the top pocket of his blazer a neatly folded pure white hankie. He then proceeded to empty the contents of his head into it, then after close examination, he folded it up again and returned it to his breast pocket.
Why , this is the age of the digital watch and people still do this. Im sorry but anything that comes out of any of my orifices is history, I don’t want to form a bond with it or carry it around in my pocket all day (baby batter included) maybe forntida knows the answer as he is in the age group for this vile habit, I think he would have a few monogrammed jobs sticking out of his cardigan.

2/ people when their cell phone rings take it out of their pocket and stare at it for ages, this of course is just a ploy to give you the full benefit of their shite ringtone. Then they stand up and pace around in front of you shouting at the top of their voice, they must think the word mobile phone means it only work if you walk around annoying the shit out of everybody.

3/ women at checkouts, why is it when you have a woman in front of you at the checkout in a supermarket, when she is told the amount she has to pay she then lifts up her handbag and rummages through it for five minutes trying to find her purse. And if that’s not bad enough she then tries to get the exact change to hand over.


5/ beards, this includes women of course. I find people who have beards fall into two categories; the first is the arran sweater type with elephant cord pants. He works in an office (stationary probably) he takes his guitar to party’s and sings cumbaya and the mingley boat song only ever having been on a ferry. And generally pi55es people off. The second is the guy who wears a tweed jacket with leather patches on the elbows, cavalry twill pants, stripped shirt and hairy wool tie, and of course the hush puppies/ dessert boots. He is the guy at party’s that is always shouting and slapping people on the back (a bit like brian blessed) this is very annoying if you have a beer in your hand. Nobody goes to party’s to be happy, you go to drink and maybe get laid if you can get the girl drunk enough to fancy you. And if anyone is going to pi55 on your parade this is the guy. The end for now.

You have aged a lot since you have been on holiday. I can relax now a new ranter has appeared.

1. Yes I carry a few hankies actually. Never use them for the intended purpose, just to stop my keys etc, jingling. Incidentally I did not know that a digital watch could do the functions of a cloth hankie. I don't have a cardigan. Monogrammed hankie yes but just used as above.

2. I agree about the phones. It's even worse on a bus where you have to listen to their alleged love life.

3. There again I agree. Actually my wife and I were complaining about that last night. It seems to be getting worse. Also they stand waiting for a bus for who knows how long and have to rummage to get their money when it arrives.

4. Are you keeping this to yourself?

5. Being a teacher before I retired I can understand the patches. The elbows get worn away on your jackets leaning on your elbows most of the time. If you rest your elbows when using the computer they get a big red patch(not cloth) on them too. The clothes thing is so that they don't have to change with the trend, plus they last longer. A it like the farmer using a land rover for over thirty years.

Despite my criticism I will give you a B+

[Lainie]

ooohhh too many to mention but a few

ignorant people
drivers who never indicate
slow till assistants
people who eat crisps at the cinema (soo noisy)
people who dont clean up their dog poo
people that dont answer their phones (when they have left you a message to call them back)
people who eat chewing gum with their mouths open
people who eat food with their mouth open (called smacking)
people who sniff constantly (get a bloody hanky)
liars
wetherspoon pubs just doing breakfasts till 12.00 (please do them later)
selfish people
people being paid massive salaries when others deserve more money ie doctors, nurses etc
badly behaved children ( dont you love the advert on the telly where the mum throws a fit in the supermarket )

that will do for now

[forntida]

Have you been reading my mind Lainie? No! I am not a dirty old man. I would like to be.

wetherspoon pubs just doing breakfasts till 12.00 (please do them later)
)

We went into the new Tescos in Kilmarnock a couple of weeks ago at 11.30a.m. Ordered two bacon rolls. 'We don't do bacon rolls in here, anyway bacon is finished at 11.30.'
While we wer'e sitting at our table she came out with a bacon roll for someone who came in after us'
I sent an E=mail complaint to Tesco and received a reply. Computer generated.

Not the worst. Sign in the Kelvin Museum restaurant, before the refurbishment;

All Day Breakfast finishes at 11.30 a.m.
