What winds YOU up ?

[Filo]

An Egyptian bloke in a BMW just pulled up alongside me on Bentley Road, beeped his horn and bared his naked arse out of the window.

Bloody toot and car moon.

How did you know he was Egyptian?

[Bentley Bullet]

Because he drove off at a Pharaoh speed.

Because he drove off at a Pharaoh speed.

Did he have his mummy with him BB?

[BillyStubbsTears]

BB & Filo.

Genius lads.

Not seen a double act like this since Terry & June.

[Bentley Bullet]

Cheers BST, we're here all week.

[Dutch Uncle]

People who quote someone and leave the spelling mistakes in - they make me sic.

[Bentley Bullet]

Farmers who erect electric fences around fields. One's just been put up near us, blocking off a popular shortcut. I can't get over it.

[RedJ]

Shocking.

[roversdude]

BB at least it’s a current topic

[drfchound]

Ohmigod.

[Donnywolf]

Ampering BB - revolting situation - watt a state of affairs

[drfchound]

Wire you saying that.

Halal food. I was in a restaurant recently, they had some Moroccan chicken, it looked delicious. But it was their 'halal' option, so naturally I chose something else that didn't look as nice.

f**king barbaric practice and should be outlawed. I refuse to go anywhere near the stuff.
I hate the fact places have to accommodate this bullshit, backwards practice .

jimmy carr does a gag about when he's entertaining guests and one might be vegan, he goes. "i have two choices for them, they can make do,  or they can f*ck off!" !!!   :-)

Scottish people who type in the way they speak online. Christ it's as if they speak an entirely different language.

Barnsley fans do exactly the same on their forum, Red. Actually, their lingo can be hilarious at times. When I was studying socio-linguistics at college, I can remember a beauty; in RP "You need to wash your ears out", in Barnsley lingo "Tha' wents to wesh thi' lug-oils aht".

Classic.

The expression ‘cheap at half the price’

It makes no sense since the maths is all wrong, it should be ‘it would still be cheap at double the price I am asking’ 

[RedJ]

I've never heard that saying in my life.

[Donnywolf]

I have never thought of that before - and as you say makes no sense - unless the "cheap" implies or doubles for rubbish / crap (as in cheap and nasty)

So it would be crap even if it was half this price ? That works otherwise its a mystery.

Surely you would know if someone was a vegan well in advance? It's not like they don't like to let you know they are vegans, is it?

Frankie Boyle did that one on Mock The Week.

[roversdude]

Once had an auditor turn up, we had arranged lunch. I had to ask a question I knew the answer to having set eyes on him, do you have any special dietary requirements? He was nearly see through having had all enjoyment drained from. Wouldn’t even drink Yorkshire Tea the to55er as it had to be fruit tea. Even had the cheek to turn up in a Winnebago for a 2 day audit and wanted to sleep on site

[Donnywolf]

2 further things

BBC Breakfast just called a bloke in who tried to sail round the world to ask HIM how the Woman who lost het Mast and has been picked up by a Cargo Ship would feel like when she landed in Chile later today ?

He started with a kinda this kinda that and mention kinda like this 4 times in his first 2 sentences


So I kinda thought that bbc kinda were grasping at kinda straws asking this bloke kinda how the girl would kinda feel when she kinda got to Chile

Where do they kinda get these kinda people and kinda WHY ?

Yours kinda Victor kinda Meldrew !

[BillyStubbsTears]

The original saying is "Cheap at TWICE the price" isn't it?

[Dutch Uncle]

Just looked it up and apparently ‘cheap at half the price’ is an attempt at humour.  It was a deliberate transformation of the street trader’s cry ‘cheap at twice the price’ so I guess as a nipper in Donny market I completely missed the joke.

Instead of saying 'from the start' people are now saying 'from the get go.'
Another Americanism that winds me up.

[tommy toes]

F**k me, I've just seen BST using it, but I'll forgive him as he's been right about Brexit from the get go.....I mean start.

[Donnywolf]

BBC Newswatch !!!! If you have ever seen it you will know why

Americanisms in general.

[BillyStubbsTears]

Americanisms. Period.

Scottish people who type in the way they speak online. Christ it's as if they speak an entirely different language.

to be fair tho, I've seen folk type "LIKE" at the end of sentences on here tho. It's as mental written down as it is in spoken form, like!!.
