Why don't they just put out a warning beforehand that the programme may contain bad language? 

Even that would be fine, its just consistent apologising every time you hear a swear word.

The other week at work someone had stuck radio 2 on, and during the Jeremy Vine show one of the guests accidentally said "piss". Vine immediately apologised and they had a laugh about it. He then played a record and after apologised again.

 

If you were listening at the time, you heard the apology, if you weren't he's just drawn attention to it. It happens, no need for a second apology.

Rugby fans absolute weirdos! Went down to my local at around 2 today for a quiet pint or 3  yeah that was wishful thinking. Full of people I had never seen before who had been in there since the rugby game earlier. Absolutely wasted. I appreciate we all like a drink but even after 10 pints I wouldn’t be acting like they do. One thing that stood out was a middle aged woman in Barbour, jeans and boots asked to smell mine n my girlfriends hair and then said “yeah smells ok”. She then says “you 2 look worried” yeah no shit you freak. Then I was at the bar with my dog this woman barges in and boots him then says “sorry love” then boots poor Nigel again. Ffs I just came home but at least the football (normal sport) is cheering me up at the min.

Do people really get offended by it to the point they have to apologise to cover themselves? 

Frankly its poor, especially in the football as its a football game, you expect some language to be picked up. It's fair enough a single apology if it's in a normal radio programme, but to continue to bring attention to it is frankly barmy

They'll either apologise for it or dub over some generic crowd noise as Leeds fans chant "SKY TV IS FVCKING SHIT"

The ****ing Deliveroo advert.

[MC Prussian]

Just recently started noticing people eating or drinking stuff at supermarkets before they've even handed the money over for it. WTF.

 

Sorry, hun. But until you've paid for that ice tea, it's property of the vendor.

[The Blur]

People who post multiple photos of their holidays in multiple posts on Instagram.    There is even one person who did this after posting similar photos on their Insta stories.    I do not mind a couple of photos but not to that standard.   The sad thing is that I now feel over-exposed to the wonders of the world and would  flick past these sort of phoos without appreciating the beauty of the landmarks.

Best one I've seen was at Sainsbury's by Wembley. The queue was snaking around the shop and the guys in front picked up sandwiches from the first aisle and ate them and hid the packaging before getting to the till and only paid for a drink in the end

Dead right. Nothing wrong with seeing some nice holiday pics and landmarks but it's got to the point where everything has to be shared.

At least stick a few in the same Insta post. I try and spread mine out over several days so people don't get bored.

I've averaged about one post a week on Insta this year which I don't think is excessive.

I put more stuff on my insta stories but I view that as a disposable thing. Most of what goes on there wouldn't be worth a permanent post.

 

Decided to count how many posts I've made on my FB profile this year. It's just 18. All year. Mainly family-related or holiday snaps.

I put more stuff on my media and DJ pages on FB but that's generally work-related.

One of my serious pet peeves. I remember watching a rugby match a few years ago and one of the players said pillock. ITV apologised unreservedly and I wrote a strongly worded letter calling them a ****.

It's professional sport, swearing is surely expected given the passion in the games? As mentioned above, a warning at the start would be better, rather than continual apologies

10000%. It should start with "hello, you're tuning into the outside world today. By watching this program you consent to experiencing things beyond yours and ours control so if you don't like it press the ****ing mute button".

 

I'll never, ever forget us playing Chelsea in the FA Cup a couple of decades (WTF) ago - at Filbert Street, on BBC 1 - a woman cuddling her young son and teaching him how to sing 'OHHH TWAT! YOU'RE SHIT AHHHHHHH'

 

Priceless.

I suspect that if you just start scoffing all the food without leaving, they might still have a word.....maybe more than a word if you grab a bottle of expensive champers, pop the cork and start swigging....

Honestly the most annoying voice in a current advert. Makes me wildly, disproportionately angry.

Why not just pay for what you've eaten/drank and then leave the shop

They don't like it when you do it with pix 'n' mix or fruit and they have to weigh it.
