The pressure of writing greeting cards, knowing that you only get one shot at it or it's another trip to the shop.

Have you checked if you can split the signal into two separate frequencies? This worked a treat with my BT hub.

The completely unnatural way that actors dance in TV programmes.
I'm not claiming i'm any better, FWIW, and probably have one and half left feet except, of course, after a couple of pints when i turn into Tony Manero B-)

People who call takeaway takeout despite not being American.

I concur. Takeout is a word that belongs to contract bridge bidding.

See also:- 'movie' instead of 'film'; 'candy' instead of 'sweets'; and my ultimate gripe 'Can I get' instead of 'Can I have'. No you can't 'get' it, unless you want to vault the counter/bar and obtain said item/pour said pint yourself.

Now you have got me going...I don’t mind if the Americans keep it to themselves but I object to the dilution and dumbing down of our own language. Here’s the sort of thing you hear now.
OMG I was like really you know blown away and I was thinking oh that’s really cool and like yeah.
I could go on but you get the gist. I’ve annoyed myself now.

I was on a train recently and there were two yoof talking to each other in such language. An hour later i'm sat there thinking, you've been jabbering on all this time but, as far as i can tell, neither of you have actually said anything.
