The Solent presenter who insists on saying that Kelvin Davis caught the ball in his 'midrift'. Does his torso resemble the Great Rift Valley in some way?

The one that winds me up more than any other recently is "Can I get...."

 

You hear it in every pub or restaurant nowadays. "Can I get an open prawn and crayfish baguette", "Can I get a side of crispy sweet-potato fries with that"..."Can I get a small glass of medium chardonnay"...ffs, why cant they just ask "Could I order" or "may I have"?

 

Yes you tosser, you CAN get it. Waitrose do them, pick me up some rizlas while you're there.

On eBay a lot of people seem to think that unusual items are ‘sort after’ rather than ‘sought after’……. this annoys me.

 

Whereas I am basing my opinion that cork is a cracking npc player on the fact that he is highly sort after, proven at this level and is young so will most likely get better. My opinion is not fact as you claim but it is backed up with a heck of a lot of evidence. What are you basing your contrary opinion on? Other than one half of football out of position and your own expertise I mean.

All Australian Test cricketers start their interviews, "Look, ........." It spread during the winter to the likes of Collingwood.

 

No need to look. It's annoying.

 

Even Capello does it. There was an article about it in the Guardian about a month ago. Apparently it is something that is taught to budding politicians by media experts. It implies an air of authority and fact in what you are saying and apparently sub-conciously encourages the person being spoken to accept it as fact and not query what has been said.

 

At least this is what I was told when I arksed a media expert.

But then again, yes you MAY have it or you COULD order it, but WILL you? ;-)
