Media issuing tips for what to do in hot weather. What? I shouldn’t stay in sun all day and not drink any water? Cheers

Glad I know now. Always sat there in the sun smashing beers then wondering why I'm sunburnt with a cracking hangover!

Pretty much any cunt that takes time to send an inane message to a Radio DJ or show. “Loving the music getting through my hangover before my holiday”

Or the one that always gets through is "I'm dancing around the kitchen to this with my 5yo"

No you aren't, they're drawing on the skirting board with crayons and your up to your eyeballs with 7 loads of washing to do.

This must already be on here, but people who describe an event as "cheeky"

"Just having a cheeky curry"

"Going for a cheeky round of golf"

Fuck off.

Table of 4 next to us in the restaurant this evening. 3 of them to the waiter: "can I get this, can I get that..." 

No you f***ing can't "get" anything.... that's the f***ing waiter's job you f***ing imbeciles. 

Twats. 

FFS.

What is noticeable is how they never say wear a hat with corks hanging from it to keep the flies away. And not once seen climb into a Sainsbury’s freezer

Modern English sadly. "Filling out" a form is another...you're putting info into spaces so you're filling it in... filling out is what happens when you're middle aged or enjoy the all inclusive holiday a bit too much.

I like a cheeky curry...it's the one you shouldn't have, late at night after you've had your dinner and you're squeezing something in you don't need. No excuses for golf though.

Didn’t have time. Too busy putting on many layers of thick clothing before I go on my hillside run at noon with just a bottle of whisky to keep me hydrated

What whisky, and what hill? 😂

Most of my gripes are about the destruction of the English language. Another example:

'How are you?'

'I'm good'.

No, you're well or you're fine, you're not fucking good.

A scuba diving suit and a bottle of sea water is just as effective I've found.

Perhaps your willful destruction of the English language wouldn't allow you to see the other - even though trousers highlighted it in bold

When you make a joke, someone chips in with their own ‘joke’ which is basically explaining what you’ve just said and thinks they’re the one being funny.

This, but extended to when they get the laugh/ smiley face etc. Extends to work where someone essentially repeats what you've said as if it's something they've just thought of. Compounded, again, if there's any praise for that.

Not sure what the biggest crime against humanity is there... The use of "get" or that someone would contemplate drinking lager over proper beer.

I've got nothing against people drinking borderline flavourless fizzy water, per se

I worked in a pub briefly and ended up telling people that it would probably be best if I got the drink for them. How they loved me there.

Popped to my local Asda yesterday afternoon and the hot weather had seemingly gone to people's heads because there were loads of them buying boxes and boxes of Carling. 

I just don't get it. They've got a big selection of decent beers and still people just want to buy the most flavourless, mass marketed piss water they can find.

The BBC weatherman just said ‘cheeky’ in context that annoyed someone earlier

[Behind Enemy Lines]

I was just in Between The Bridges in London, Waterloo and one of the food stalls is called Cheeky Burger.
 

Someone should tell them they’re being offensive 😂

Agreed. Only acceptable use of the word in this context involves going to a Cheeky Girls concert.

I suspect there's a direct correlation between beer flavour and the purchaser's IQ

Just had a haircut and some prick getting done at same time didn’t put down his phone throughout and making trivial phone calls. If I was the barber would have slit his throat. And yet I’d be the one going to jail which would be totally unjust

I drink Carling, Fosters and all the other mass marketed lager.  Personally I don't really like ale, bitter etc but I don't mind if other people do.  What I find annoying is when someone comes up with an opinion on a subjective subject, say, for example, beer and casts judgement on anyone that doesn't share that opinion.  Makes them sound like cocks.

I generally prefer ale, having drank lager before. But some of that is finding ales I like and trying new ones out. Like whiskey, what I thought I'd like isn't what I ended up  liking. There's a number of pubs near me that have the same ale, and it's not great. So happy enough to have some lager then. Regardless of the drink, it helps to have something you like and not bore people senseless with your reasoning behind it. 🙂

The vast amount of people on TV now who can't speak properly.  You have Rylan dropping his t sounds like "selling you moa'er", South London types talking about beeee beeee ceeee eyyyyyye player, football pundits saying "they was well beat". Generally makes me very cross. Speak properly.

Why are people who go to Glastonbury festival so fucking smug about it, like it's some major achievement? Basically they've paid £300 to live like animals for 3 days, no big deal really.

It's rapidly turned into a festival full of people going just to say they have been. 

Was much better in the 90's when it was full of crusties, hippies and travellers who were let in for free while everyone else jumped the fence and spent half their time trying to avoid getting robbed by scousers.

Honestly it was great fun then. Now it's full of people who do stuff like go jogging around the site and queue up for 3 hours for a shower every morning.

True. I wished one of my team a good time and to enjoy it. They looked at me like I was mental - and god's honest truth, this person is going jogging every morning.
