Speaking myself as an Archers character who died in about 1973 and observing Ambridge from my place in heaven, I am horrified that the Archer family now "boasts" one of the most appalling spoil brat know-alls, namely Pipsqueak, not to mention her bloody mother who sounds like she is auditioning for the remake of "When The Boat Comes In"

What about Brian? He and Matt are my favourites, tho' in real life I would hate their ruthless capitalist styles.


Another thing that I can't stand. "Bored of" rather than "bored with".


Also "I was like where were you? And she was like I was at Uni today."


"I'm SO over her!"

Brian can be entertaining but his manner is too inflammatory to listen to calmly for long.


Another one: people, generally women, pronouncing an E as an A, usually with a slight drawl, presumably to sound posher.


'Can I gat the bast and of nack of laaamb?' as someone is probably saying right now in William Rose.


Irritating.

For a second, e-dealer, I thought that you were suggesting that Brian had been to the vet for the unkindest cut of all. But all he lost was the chairmanship of Borchester Land, tho' I suspect that his designs on Annabelle's body are now over.

I'm not sure this qualifies as a 'tiny little thing', but here goes.


I have a Dustbuster, about four or five years old. The rechargeable battery in it is dying, so I had a look online for a new battery pack. Found it - ?33.99. A bit steep I thought, so how much is a whole new dustbuster? ?34.99.


No wonder we are such a consumer society.

Receiving a letter thanking me for "taking the time to respond to the HS2 blah blah blah..."


I didn't take the time to do anything of the sort, but obviously a person I know who is heavily involved in the anti-HS2 campaign has felt it's fine to use my name and address without asking.


Grrrr. In fact, I think my rage is rational?

People whose inflection rises as they reach the end of a sentence - apart from Australians of course who are allowed to. I think that it was watching "Neighbours" that caused people who were kids at the time to talk this way.

    • I have had multiple jobs completed at my home by T.D. PLUMBFIX SOLUTIONS LTD, and I wouldn't go to anyone else now. They always come at the agreed day/time, I have never been asked to rearrange. The jobs have always been completed to extremely high standards, and as a perfectionist myself, I appreciate this level of care and detail. I'm grateful of the clear up afterward too, leaving me very little to do after the job is done. I am always blown away by the speed and efficiency  - no waffle, no flannel, just sheer hard work from start to finish. In summary - a highly professional first class service. Don't hesitate to call T.D. PLUMBFIX SOLUTIONS LTD, if you like excellence and trade people that will respect your home. 
    • Or increase tax.  The freezing of personal allowances is one way, not what I would choose.  On principle I don't care if the rich immigrate.  The main parties could have been more honest before the election.  Reform is deluded.
    • I edited my post because I couldn't be sure we were talking about politicians and I couldn't be bothered to read it all back. But it was off the back of a thread discussing labour councillors, so it went without saying really and I should have left it.  What I said was 'There's something very aggressive about language like that - it's not big and it's not clever. Some of the angry energy that comes from the far left is pretty self-defeating.' (In relation to a labour councillor rather immaturely, in my view, wearing a jumper that read 'fuck the Tories').  But I don't recall saying that "violent rhetoric" is exclusively the domain of the left wing. So I do think you're taking a bit of a bit of leap here.
