    Right, let's see if anyone can guess the odd one out on this list from Casa Pato, top of Elm Hill.

    Nibbles
    Tostas (Slice of toasted rustic bread with garlic)
    Sides
    Salads
    Burger’s

    I know it is (was?) a Spanish tapas restaurant, so genuine tolerance there, but it's happening more and more - as is 'could of' and 'their/there/they're'. Imagine in 20-30 years time what it will be like. <yikes>

    When did people start saying 'so' at the start of every sentence? <grr>

    I've noticed it a lot on 'Pointless' and indeed it is frigging pointless!

    "What do you do" - "So, I'm in IT"

    "What do you do when you're not doing that"? - "So, I like my football"

    Jesus wept!!!!

    ............ and why do kids always refer to something being 'like' something else FFS, as in "It was 'like' ......."

    A so called friend said I should watch Pointless, I don't normally have the telly on at that time but they raved about it so I recorded it over a week. Bloody hell, what a awful awful program!
    3 minutes in and they had only just got to revealing the first set of questions, then we get, "what do you do" what do you do when you're not doing that? This goes on for every contestant until finally they get to the end of the round or "PASS" Now 18 minutes into the show and 8 answers given and I'm ready to shoot myself!
    When someone gets a question right the bloke in the glasses tells them it's a good answer, well it because it's right, if it was wrong it wouldn't be a good answer! Why does the front man have to read the questions twice? I'll just read them on more time, the ones that have letters missing are particularly stupid... P-blank-S- blank...P-blank-O-blank. WTF? It's just a 15 minute quiz padded out with crap to make it 45 minutes. It's nauseating and I won't be watching it again!
    Oh yes I forgot, let's pretend we like cake and pretend to eat it with our thumb and forefinger. Jesus H Crist!!

    You're missing the point ILD, you can actually learn a lot from it, not to mention the humour!

    I do like Pointless, but the repetition does get on your nerves after a while.

    Heaven knows what Armstrong would do if he had to deviate!

    I do like Richard though - "What would your wrestling name be"? Reply - "The Chiswick Flyover" :grin:
