    No, I just hate Morgan. As I said "so up himself. Never could stand the pompous twat". And I have no intention of getting into a debate about that to which you refer. I have no view on that <ok>

    That annoying advert where grown men "talk" in baby voices

    Vinnie Jones "Because it smells good". Seemingly every half an hour

    Go compare. Another every half an hour annoyance. Can't help telling him to "GFY"

    How can any Marketing manager pay an agency to come up with so much crap? Get a new Marketing Manager

    I seem to get more and more irritated by things, the older I get. Or is that less tolerant?

    I've moaned about this before, and will continue to do so until the f*ckers stop doing it - namely fake crowd and audience noises.

    It boils my piss! Sometimes there is the option to watch without this ludicrous attempt to "normalise" events, but more often there isn't. Snooker the best, worst example, as you can see clearly there are only 2 players and a ref, plus 2 cameramen, and some commentators back stage along with the fool with his finger on the noise button. Just bloody stop it, the only thing it adds to the atmosphere is idiocy :headbang:

    Agree Reebs,
    I watch The Chase on itv most days. Almost every person under 30 has to start every sentence they say with "So,...". They also have to include the words "basically" and "literally" in all their spiel as well.

    Like the annoying laughter button every time someone says their line (which is not, by any stretch of the imagination, funny)

    There will be a 'fake roar' to the start of the Supreme Reebs. ITV have confirmed they will be using a recording in their Cheltenham festival coverage. The idea hopefully is that it will help you create your own special Cheltenham atmosphere.. :emoticon-0100-smile

    The bookie adverts on ITV Racing in particular, the Paddy Power ads., - puerile, mindless, nonsense.

    Did Charlie Stayt leave his brain on the bus going to school, and never go to the lost property office?

    As for his partner in crime.....

    Essex boy cheeky chappy Jamie Oliver

    Watching Gogglebox, the poor sods were subjected to Jamie Oliver on Channel 4, who was re-inventing the Sunday chicken roast with a touch of France. It did not go down too well.
    Stuff tarragon stalks up the chicken’s “jacksy”, replace the roast potatoes with lentils and a whole garlic. By the time the tw*t had finished, most of the Goggleboxers were reaching for the takeaway menu. I bet his kids are getting smuggled food over the garden fence. No wonder I have never watched the t*sspot.

    I wonder if Fortnum and Mason ran out of tarragon the next day. Do soft southerners do any of the dross that these TV chefs suggest? North of Watford we only watch Nigella for non food related reasons.

    The replacing of the letter S with a Z. e.g. A Barber shop called Cutz.

    Why does anybody insure a woman driver who manages to run into a stationary building full of animals that did not jump out into the road unexpectedly? How did she manage to miss all those traffic bollards?

    They should have got Jamie along to make some stew from all those free-range rabbits.

    I wish it to be known that my “like”s do not represent my views or those of my employer.

    Just going to check with the Oxford English Dictionary as I believe that there are circumstances where an S should be replaced with a Z. It is all Greek to me. I am just not sure that naming of barbers’ shops is one of them...
