Talksport...........I still listen in once in a while just to check how bad it is...Danny Kelly trying to talk about Rugby union the other day was quite simply embarrassing rename the fecking thing talk football and cricket and have done with it.

Biggest irritations for me is WOMAN and MEN (wwww almost got shot by the PC cops). Who know bugger all about Rugby League or Union but yet in the works canteen spout total drivel as they know bugger all about Rugby. Had one in work today and i quote. "My husband says that NZ no.7 is always getting away with putting his hands on the ball and he should not do that".

FFS i replied that what he should do to which she replied well my husband says he cant. Her husband closest connection to Rugby is that he lives 3 miles from the local union ground. Bloody hate it when people come out of the woodwork and have no idea what they are talking about. Its been horrendous with the union World Cup on and i live in Wales so you can imagine the experts are out on a month release before they bugger off to talk about Strictly come prancing and X factor.

Why ohh why cant it be on subscription TV it owuld save me all this aggro from prats in work. Coming on here at least most of you know the game i work with only 1 other person out of 100 who knows union or league. i am doing my nut in work i am losing the plot all beacuse of

IRRITATIONS.

Bloody hell SL is over for 1 day and i am losing it. Going to be a long off season i feel.

Go compare adverts

The haribo advert, the one that little brat says "sign the fession"

People who talk about their kids all the time

people who always say "you'll change your mind one day" when i say i'm never having kids. NO I WON'T, I HATE KIDS.

People who don't know the difference between discussion and argument.

The ridiculous hype STILL following Tiger 'flipping' Woods (especially by broadcasting stations in our country).
In his latest tournament, with only one round to go, he lies a massive 9 shots behind the leader, with umpteen players above him on the leader board, yet we're still bombarded with news about his round.
FFS, we have an Englishman in second place, and we've heard nothing about him.
I wouldn't mind, but this is a tournament for players ranked outside the Top 50.

Come on, be brave. Just say it, never mind the PC Brigade.

The appalling customer service in this county is amplified even moreso after a visit to America. Really winds me up when you are at the desk and the staff are talking to the people they work with, not engaging with the customer.

Problem is, you don't know why they're being like that. Some people are naturally rude, which is fair enough, but some people could just be having a bad day or could under a lot of pressure from the powers above.

Me personally, I expect nothing really other than clear communication and acceptable manners. I don't expect whopping smiles, thank yous or OTT excitement upon serving me, but if I pay cash, I want the money placed in my hand, not planted.

Bad customer service is bang on. Too many times, you go into shops/pubs/hotels etc, you get met a surly (usualy a teenager/v. early 20's) individual who 'greets' you with a grimace, if you're lucky. When I go into a pub/shop, I shouldn't need to stand for a minute, to wait for someone to finish their chat with their mate about last night's Big Brother evictee.

In the same breath, I don't want someone 'all over me, like a cheap suit',

Just someone who'll be pleasant, smile, and be ready (NicolaH..on my receipt, in C-Ex today, a great example)

I went to buy a phone charger the other day and put it back the service was that sh*t, went somewhere else.

Unless it's disgracefully bad, I have no care about customer service unless it's in a restaurant. Some of them people in Tesco have been sat there for 8+ hours going "Bags, clubcard, packing, thank you!", I'd rather just get out and avoid the conversation. I am biased though because my bird works there and all she does is moan about the mind-numbing 'drills' they make you do to pass their shopping tests.

Anybody that complains about anything other than horrendously bad customer service should get a grip.

I'm getting a bit worried now. Virtually everything on this thread annoys me. I really am becoming a bad tempered sad old git (or am I there already?).

No, I mean the side entrance in the car park, the one that has the yellow/black barriers. Just keep the fekker open!


Nicky Campbell

these female singers on x factor that burst into tears after theyve sung a song,why..id boot them straight off..over emotional gits grow up

Myleene flippin (no) Klass....what is she famous for

also Melinda Messinger, again, why, or that woman who was on The Apprentice and now presents one of those 'celebrity' shows on C5 (she looks like a bit like a horse)

WHY THE @@@@ ARE THESE PEOPLE FAMOUS

All of the above, but especially as already stated…

People who don’t indicate at roundabouts
Sue Barker
Rugby Union and the fact that journos just call it rugby.
Wannabes on reality TV.
Facebook (never even been on it)
Tiger Woods media fascination (and the fact that he played that wonder shot at the masters when I had a tenner on Chris DiMacro at 125-1, and it gets replayed every b’std year)

but also…

Danni Minogue
Posh Spice
Katie Price or Jordan (take your pick)
Wayne Rooney
All WAGs
Dents in tins/cans in a shop. It’s just not right
Someone’s made you a cup of tea. You drink it, get to the last mouthful and they didn’t tell you that it wasn’t a tea bag and you get a mouthful of tea leaves. Shocker. It’s the surprise that’s the killer.
Badly maintained bitter (and lager).

Bloke at Victoria station who shoves a free metro in my face every morning, even when I show him that I’ve already got one.

People fighting for a parking space near to a door and who can’t be ar$ed walking an extra 30-40 yards.

Adverts in general – for example, spraying a well known deodorant brand may make you smell a bit better, but fit ladies are not necessarily going to want to have sex with you.
