I had a black cat called Lucky many years ago. She was lovely, very intelligent and sweet, with a little savage streak. Great fun and still missed.

Nothing drives me up the wall more than listening to someone who constantly uses "errrrrrr" and "ummmm" when talking, because what they are trying to say could easily be spat out in less than half the time and probably be three times more interesting to boot. Young females in particular who produce an endless chain of "ummmmm"s into their speech has often prompted me reaching for an imaginary baseball bat with the mental picture of stoving their heads in with it I reckon the annual Lobotomy Club's outing would entertain and inform me more. Supposedly "intelligent" people who cannot put four words together without inserting an "errrrr" in there make me fume too

What else? Oh yes, the word "like" liberally sprinkled into speech does my head in big time and the numpties who say "sort of" too need to be flung into a cesspit to drown.

Apart from that, the world is just peachey

People who who raise a questioning tone at the end of every sentence when explaining something...very popular in the US but lots of it here too

Yes he was just the same, one of those cool cats that came sat with you when you perched your arse on the sofa.. I'll find some photo's of him, poor little bugger appeared at the door one Bonefire night about 16 years ago, i never tried finding out the owner because if they can let a kitten out that time of year they aint worth bothering with & certainly don't deserve a cat. I loved him, he was a great friend to me, seemed to love Pink Floyd aswell but not ELP

Grumpy old men who complain about everything... Move along Grandad!!!

People who think they know what they are doing but haven't got a friggin clue. Example, using every type of oil on slate without using sealant and the right type of oil for slate. Idiots, if your not sure ask someone who might be in the know. A slate founder might be a good start. Sorry just having a rant

Yeah, and to extend that further, guys who think that they're good at DIY (just 'cos it's perceived as 'manly'), and can do ANY job, no matter how specialist or skilled the job is, and frequently make a total ARSE of it, ending up with all sorts of half-completed 'DIY disasters' strewn around the house and abandoned, for someone who actually knows what they're doing to fix......!

Know your limitations, people: if you're a ham-fisted and hopeless nightmare, swallow your pride and admit it, and get a professional in to do the job properly!!!

I'm with you, Frank. What with those and 'like', 'anyway', 'random' and other pointless words liberally strewn into sentences, it's amazing that teenagers can make themselves understood. Oh wait, they generally can't...

[Rare Bird]

People that ask a question ending it with 'No'..
