This site must really p1ss you off then? what with the country being invaded by 'fuzzy wuzzies' and the price of Fish these days, and that bloody Labour Government etc. etc. ad infinitum. Add a liberal sprinkling of abusive/pedant geeks who are scared of 12 year olds carry pen Knives.
I tell Ye, We are doomed!The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

also people who start sentences with "look, ......” or “look here …, "

I used to work with a guy who started every sentence by saying "yeah, no, yeah, no, yeah, yeah, no, " - bit like the bloke off vicar of dibley. became amusing in the end"Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny.

Look, to be honest, there are a lot of annoying phrases but let's be honest we have all heard them. If you don't like this, either step up to the plate or let's take them all offline or ring fence them!!!"If you can read this, thank a teacher....and since it's in English, thank a soldier"Comment

I worked with someone who when asked a question always used to begin his reply with:
"I'll give you a starter for ten ......"
Aarrrrgghhhhhh!
But "At the end of the day ...." also gets my vote."The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who have not got it" - George Bernard ShawComment

That annoys the hell out of me too.
"raising the bar", "to the next level", "stepping up to the plate", "going forward", "managing expectations"... all standard permiespeak at my current client - very annoying.
