    Well done that man! Did you actually say "shut up", or "Shat it you slag!" with a cockney accent the miserable old bint is probably used to getting her own way with a bit of what the Americans called passive-aggressive bollocks. Responding with a bit of aggressive-aggressive is clearly the way to go.

    My pet hate is guys who are married referring to their wives as 'the wife', rather than 'my wife', which just sounds much nicer and more respectful. If I ever referred to Del as 'the wife", she'd rightfully give me a slap!

    I have been addressed as "darling" by female bar staff. I took it in the spirit it was given. A particular hate of mine is being asked by the bar staff "What do you want?", to which I pointedly reply "What I would like .... ".


    Thoroughly agree with the last paragraph Marco - it's always been a pet annoyance of mine.

    That reminds me of the, by now, familiar anecdote of someone askeing an attractive woman if she fancied a fuck and being declined, would reply "Well, would you mind laying down whilst I have one".
