I wouldn't worry too much
sounds pretty normal to me

Oh, is that the "I'm not your sister!" one?

Yeah, me too.

Yeah!!

"Calm down, it's a commercial"

"Eat chainsaw, you patronising, nasal voiced old toad!"

It is the worst thing ever, EVER, when people know they're in an ad/tv program/cartoon/play.

It is the second worst thing ever to say "commercial" in an English accent.

*is trying, but not succeeding, in imagining someone saying commercial in an english accent*

My father sings Mmmm-bop my Hanson on a regular basis. Even though he doesn't know the words. I mean the chorus just goes mmm-bop dooh dooh dooh mmmm-bop for god's sake. And I dislike being reminded it even existed.

I didn't know it dif exist until now
What am I luckily escaping the advert for ... a TVphobe

There's a whole household here who loathe (hate is too gentle a word) THAT 'sister' commercial. Everybody reaches for the mute button at the same time!
Yeugghhh. I'm sure it was on again last night.

Quite an unpetty hate this one-large bore exhausts on stupid little cars

Having just had such an exhaust removed from my car(which was bought off a boy racer) i am now relishing the experience of being able to hear my stereo over the sound of the engine

What in gods name is the point? Why spend money on something that only has one purpose-to make one hell of a racket-aren't cars intrusive enough? Is it some kind of small c*ck thing?the smaller the kn*b the larger the exhaust? Are we supposed to be fooled into thinking that your stupid wee Fiat actually has a 2.0L engine in there somehere??

Another one- gristle in chicken Usually the last bite of a chicken sandwich and- crunch It's (almost) enough to make me go vegitarian.If i had one wish? Never mind world peace- i want a GUARANTEE that i will never eat or see another piece of gristle in any chicken i consume.

When you're lying in bed, and the phone rings, and you suddenly realise that you're going to have to get up and run to get it. And then having run and had a (hopefully) coherent conversation, you're not going to be able to get back to sleep so you have to stay up and it's enough to make you weep.

Include with the exhaust thing any unnecessary bolt-on appendage to make the car look like something it ain't: sills, spoilers big enough to provide sufficient down force to keep the space shuttle from taking off, massive wheel arches, etc, etc, especially when the owner then can't be bothered to paint them and they stay that nasty grey colour with body filler highlights.

If they spent as much time thinking about driving properly as they do 'beautifying' their cars, the roads would be a safer place to sit in jams on.

Too true
Personally, i think the driving age should be raised to 21.. and i'm also in favour of regular compulsory re-testing- say every 3 years (assuming test wont cost too much- say about £30 max).

Lollipop persons (crossing attendants) who take forever getting kids across the road, have a converstion with a mother who stops in the middle of the bleeding road to chat, and then give you a filthy look when yo parp your horn because they are making you late for work.

car drivers who think the world revolves around them and speed up as they approach zebra crossings in an attempt to deter people from using them or rev their engines as people are crossing

I dream of a day when drivers are given a grade after their three-yearly re-test. This grade would then correspond to a list of cars that they were then allowed to drive. Grade 5: Trabant to Skoda, Grade 4:Fiat to Ford Fiesta etc up to Grade 1: TVR's, Ferrari's and so on.

I suspect that Skoda shares might be worth buying now in the event that this comes to pass in the next few years.
