The way Americans pronounce the word “mirror” as “meer”

Getting a special link to book MLB tickets for next June's London series before they go on general sale, only to find they've sold out.

The pressure of having to pretend to be (variously) Father Christmas, the Tooth Fairy and the Elf on the fricking Shelf ... all in one week.

Conversely I am always amused when I hear the Northern Irish pronounce "mirror" as "myrrh", like it's a gift for the baby Jesus.

I’m just hoping it wasn’t the pressure of having to be Father Christmas that resulted in you also needing to be the Tooth Fairy.

I sick of rolling fags only to find I've used a "only 5 to go" paper. They could put glue on these useful memo's rather than subject the user to the dextrous and often wasteful transfer of tobacco from one paper to another more suitable one.
