    The Germans, on the other hand, don't believe in queues and just barge in anyway.

      Thing is though Pogle, they used to increase volume in the past and were stopped from doing it. Call me an old cynic but I don't buy the compression not decibels excuse. Do the ads sound the same as the shows they interrupt in your house?

        During a show when somebody whispers, it's quiet; when somebody shouts, it's louder. During the adverts they make the noise constantly as loud as shouting or explosions during a show.

          While that may be appropriate for a Cillit Bang commercial, I don't think it is fair to wake me out of my stupor having watched gardeners world with someone shouting 'Hey bodyform!, bodyform for you-ooo!!

              Someone should write a song about that, while being dragged through a hedge backwards.

                I'll try to phrase this politely...

                Girls who insist on a chap wearing a strawberry flavour wrapper before administering a tentative kiss but then expect you to tuck in with gusto .

                  People who can't do roundabouts. Like going into the left hand lane and going around the outside with their left indicator going. Or, probably the same people who completely ignore the road markings and use the left turn only lane to go straight accross the roundabout so that the other cars cannot move over. People who park in disabled bays.
                  Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

                  I preferred version 1!

                    Imagine if they were all driving, one to a car (as is typical). I think your journey would've taken a lot longer.

                      spiders, although they do seem to be getting bigger.
