And is easier to spell than 'euthanised'!

No it doesn't. Mercy killing is mercy killing, and I would have it referred to as such.

Euthanised is fine too.

Ah, but you said only 'killing', not 'mercy killing'



Cutting the credits in the end of a movie in the cinema. Or, when credits are shown, everybody getting up and starting to talk and whatnot without moving first away from the couple of weirdos who actually do like credits.

Come to it, I don't like that newish trend on TV to squeeze the credits in half the screen while the other half is used (together with an irritating voice-over) for the upcoming programmes either.

People who post non sequiturs in threads just so they can tell a joke.

I took my dog to the vet to have him put down but she kept complimenting him saying things like "Oh, 'e looks pretty good for someone with bowel cancer."

My iPod- damn thing won't sync.

Leeds station. Not only is it needlessly huge, with one platform starting three-quarters of the way along another one, so you miss your train, it was announced yesterday that it's a deathtrap

I miss Manchester Picadilly.

That is annoying. Almost as annoying as DJs who talk over the beginnings and ends of tracks (which is almost all of them).

Also, DJs who talk over the instrumental bit you sometimes get in the middle of a track.

"irritating voice-over"

I can't stand the voice-over/continuity (or whatever you call them) people who talk with a fake smile in their tone of voice.

Sweetcorn sellers in public places. The smell just makes me want to vomit

eh? I can honestly say I've never been sold sweetcorn, well, except in tins or on the cob, raw and not smelling...

... Am I missing something?

It's quite new development as far as I can tell. In fairness I only know of two people doing it, but both are in places that I have to go to quite often.

Funny how different people get different reactions to things. We grew sweet corn when I was a kid. (not for sale, it wasn't work) To this day, the smell is like...I don't know, it just brings a rush of the most pleasant feelings.
