Er, ASAP? I mean, in your good time.

That ridiculous advert that suggests that washing your clothes on a cooler machine setting will stop coral from overheating.

The word "empower" and all of its derivatives.

The word "pro-active"

Pro-active margerine.

Pro-active zit cream.

Any other word that's made up by putting the word "pro" in front of it to give it some sort of undeserved respectability; eg "pro-biotic" & "pro-vitamin".

People who use Phillips screwdrivers to drive Pozidrive screws.

People who when caught using Phillips screwdrivers to drive Pozidrive screws insist that "ah, they're all the same anyway mate".

People who I don't know but insist on calling me "mate".

I heard that on the 7 pm news too. Did you see the tall girl score the hole-in-one?

Also shown on the news last night was a banner in the crowd at the football yesterday that read: DIDAK YOUR MY HERO. Utter imbecile!

Or the adulation given to Barry Hall.

If he did off the field what he does to players on it he'd just be an everyday thug charged with assault.

I used to play against Barry in the under 17's growing up. He was a meat head then and nothings changed:-
