Wolfie Posted February 2, 2017 Author Share Posted February 2, 2017 Media hype of anything really. Films, TV, Music. I just get turned off really quickly if I feel that I'm being manipulated into feeling that I've just got to do it/see it etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted February 2, 2017 Author Share Posted February 2, 2017 Not being able to follow my own advice. I'm a really good judge of people & can instantly see through bulls hit. I'm a good listener & am good at giving good, constructive advice to people. Talking to a colleague and close friend yesterday who was feeling a bit twitchy because his boss has just resigned & I came out with all this great stuff about if you want more then ask for it & what's the worst that can happen if you ask to take over all or some of his boss's role. Be confident in your own abilities etc. So ironic that that's exactly what I need to do more of and don't. Doh!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're unlucky enough to be the first to answer, you get the jackpot of being sold something you don't want or need. The other 99 get off with the lucky escape of being automatically cut off.

They don't do things by halves do they ?! yeah it's why if you do have someone on the other line there's normally a delay in them asking "Is that Mr Le Mesmer" as they try to work out who's answered the phone! All done automatically. Not very interesting but if it helps lessen your annoyance, glad to have helped! Tony Le Mesmer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atletico Madrid are now 'Atleti' apparently. Get a grip! Ohhh Tony .. I wish you hadn't done that one ... Gets me big time too .. Everything getting shortened and if you know the abbreviation then you are the "in crowd" or sound cool ! A Ferrari is what it's ..not a flipping "Fezza" ...perleaseeeee ( Razza is permissible amongst ourselves of course ) and "Danielle" dumps "Matt" as a headline ... Who ? And would I really care ? even if you were bright enough to print their surname. its not abbreviation in itself, or having nicknames it's the mass media thing that seeks to popularise things that don't need making popular. ...

Phoenix Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Click-bait headlines in cheap on-line newspapers, like "You WON'T BELIEVE what Gladys did with......." If I'm not going to believe it, there's no point reading it. Tony Le Mesmer and Rev 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VulcanRam Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Ok, here's something that really, REALLY annoys me. Mel Morris is the owner and chairman of Derby County Football Club. As far as I am aware, he is not related to many of the posters on this board. So WHY WHY WHY do people insist on calling him "Uncle Mel"? He isn't your ******* uncle (unless he actually is your uncle, in which case consider yourself excused. And lucky.) so don't call him "Uncle Mel". Nigel Clough is 50 years old. That, granted, isn't exactly pushing up daisies territory, but neither can he be considered young. So WHY WHY WHY do people insist on calling him "Young Nigel"? Honestly, it does my head in. Please stop. JoetheRam and rynny 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stive Pesley Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 I assumed it was because of Uncle Mel in Everybody Love Raymond. Have i got that wrong? http://raymond.wikia.com/wiki/Uncle_Mel PS is there any truth in the rumour that Mel's wife is called Sue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
