    People who say 'At the end of the day' during a discussion, as if somehow their ill-thought-out, mistimed, irrelevent and badly delivered 'point' is somehow the final word.

    Grrrr Grrrr Grrrr

        "narmeen" after every sentence
        When someone does that to you, turn the tables on them.

        Say "Actually no. I don't know what you mean."

        Watch them flounder and derail. Great fun.
        Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

              The fact that Julie Burchill, Joan Sarpong, Shane Ritchie and Noel Edmunds are still breathing.

                    . . . and Vanessa Feltz. Ooh, and Hazel Blears, and don't forget the vacuous Jenny Powell.

                      Not like old Alf Ramsey and his wingless wonders. Oh far cry from small boys in the park, jumpers for goalposts, rolling the ball in dogs muck and tossing it to your mate for a header....
