What grinds my gears...

[stix]

I'm the same, a ST holder but I work weeknights so any midweek games I have to gift my ticket to a mate.

The cup run is very good but I'm kind of robbing peter to pay Paul (well actually, robbing my self to pay my mate!).

Will be worth it if we go Wembley though!

I also work bloody Sunday's too so if the Birm/Chelsea game is on a Sunday I miss that bastard too!

Im in the same boat. I would usually give my ST to a mate or book the first couple of hours off work but the hours soon add up. First Brum & now Florist.

Mate may get a freebie for the Birmingham game.

See, I grew up in Leicester and obviously have this 'chavvy accent' but now living in South Wales I constantly get called 'posh' because of my voice. Could be a lot worse, I guess.

St Matthews is posh compared to some parts of South Wales though...

I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that's because you're rather middle class.

There are two different accents around here (or at least, two main ones, anyway.) Posh folk, generally, from the county and... considerably less posh folk from the city.

I'd say the county accent on the whole is a fairly neutral accent, it's not overly distinct and I don't think many people could place you which is similar across most of the Midlands. When you move away an come back again you do notice the city accent, though, and it is a little bit rough.

I should clarify that I don't mean to talk in such geographical (or class) definitives, I do know people from Anstey and 'Sorrel with a good "Lestoh" accent and a few from Western Park and the like that you couldn't really place at all but, well, exceptions not rules.

[The Doctor]

Can't say I've ever noticed much of an accent, even when coming back.

Now then, filling out the safety and risk information for labs tomorrow is pissing me off.

My brother has lived in Mountsorrel for years now and has got a Lestoh accent, he does say Leicester like Lest-oh and Spaghetti like Spaghetteh. I do wind him up about it

[davieG]

MrsG and I met an Asian lady who's Mum was born in India and lives in Leicester and she lives and works in London in the hospital out patients recently and she thought we sounded 'sweet' and must have come from Loughboro' because there sound posh and people from Leicester sound rough.

We don't have an accent in Leicester. It's everyone else that does.

People who drive the wrong way around car parks when there is a GREAT BIG ARROW telling you which way to go.

[FoxesAreBlue]

I often get ripped by my colleagues at work because of my accent, they're all mostly from out of the county (London, Nottingham, Peterborough) and when I walk in and say "Ow Oh Yoh" my cockney gaffs says its sound like I'm having a coughing fit

[davieG]

People on here saying keep the faith, it's not my usual response but shut the **** up!

[AyewJoking]

My wife in the passenger seat telling me to go/wait/stop/ do this/do that/. She has no speed perception and cant even drive!!

Snap "Do you want to drive" "Oh no wait YOU DONT HAVE A LICENCE!"

, I calmly say, dear, when you have a license and have been driving for 7 years then you can tell me what to do.

Told her to f**k off really loudly yesterday, felt quite bad about it.

Its so important to be pacific.

[purpleronnie]

People who are forever holding their phones up at concerts or sporting events...or for that matter anything.

Why even do it? So you can show your mates the videos? How can you constantly watch a concert through a phone/camera screen....put the camera down and enjoy yourselves.

Its like people have forgotten how to use their eyes Oh I'm at a concert this means I have to watch it through a phone. No!!!!

AAAGGGGHHHHHHHHH.

[StanSP]

Memory - to watch it back months or years later.

You can watch the gig/concert/event beyond the phone. I don't think they watch it through the phone all the time.

I saw a clip of Ed Sheeran playing live and it looked as if the crowd were holding up their phones to fend him off.

I am equally mystified why people do this. It is more important to have some piss poor footage to post on Bookface or actually engage with and enjoy the thing you've paid for, seemingly. It's this 'sharing' bollocks that seems to be the in thing. If you eat a Tunnocks Teacake, THE WORLD MUST KNOW. If every tiny part of your life isn't documented and distributed around the web, you don't exist.

I'm about to eat a Nutrigrain bar and shortly after I will be going for a poo. May swap the order of these events round, will confirm later

Someone asked me put something on eBay for them under my name, they said I could keep 25% of what they got, they didn't sell for much so I got £3. He wants me to buy the envelopes and post them even though that would be more than what I got and they are not my items anyway. What a dick.
