When did 5th on the grid in Formula 1  become P5 on the grid? And 3rd place tun into P3? 

When did footballers start to have foot races to the ball instead of the more traditional race that must have been so confusing to everybody?

When did a new series on TV no longer come out, but drop?

And when did presenters stop covering all the stories so they could be across them all?

And when, or more pertinently, why, did British people start saying baby mama and baby daddy? 

This is what 4 months without alcohol does to you. It sends you all bitter and twisted.

Name some more that I can wind myself up with.

Well done for giving up the booze mate, that’s amazing. 👏👏👏

And there’s lots of things that for no particular reason, really annoy me such as the stupid phrase “back in the day”, and when people are asked if they are ready, reply “as I’ll ever be”. Grrr. I need to have a lie down now

Goalkeepers with 'strong hands' or 'strong wrists' every time they make a save. No idea what it actually means.

And don’t get me started on “from the get go”. Yes I know it’s a contraction of Get Ready, Get Steady, Go but what’s wrong with From the start, or from the off? Oops nearly spilled my Horlicks
