      Awful. I just can't bear talking for the sake of it. I'm rude basically.

      Reminds me of the guy who stays in Alan Partridge's hotel. Unbelievable.
      Nice weather today sugartits ...

          Web pages with page numbers that you have to page through one at a time. I prefer a single long scrollable page.

                  People who dive into the tube lift and stop the doors closing and do the "ooh, lucky me!" face, not realising that they're the 5th person to do it and we'd all just like to go up now...

                    ..and further not realising I was the one pretending to hold the doors open, while stabbing the "close doors" button with a smile.
