Other words and phrases that annoy me:
"I like all kinds of music" - If you own less than 50 albums (or their mp3/itunes equivalent), then you like some music and aren't too fussed about the rest.

"I'm sorry but" - Classic annoyance. Stand up for your opinions you spineless shit.

"Let's agree to disagree" - NO. If I am taking the trouble to argue with you, then I will most likely be absolutely convinced that I am right (it is a rule of mine to only argue about stuff which I know about). 'Agreeing to disagree' somehow implies that the facts and reasons which my argument is based on, are somehow refuted by your desire to terminate the argument. I will agree that I am right and you are wrong. Nothing else will do.

"In cinemas July 1" - JULY THE FIRST YOU FUCK.

And every single bit of stupid pseudoscience new-age claptrap (pretty much summed up in Tim Minchin's 'Storm' poem). That Hamlet quote, we're all just "energy" etc etc.

The first of July
Just because the 'Merkins do their dates all arse-about-face is no reason to copy them

1st of July
Not July 1st. The other way is the annoying American way, such as 9/11 - which is actually 11/9 or the 11th of September.

Fewer than 50 albums.
Since we're being picky.

B3tan to it!
And what if the person can't afford loads of albums or doesn't have the space to store them? We have Spotify, radio etc.

What if I have 1 album per different genre and sub-genre of music
50 is a fair bit really. What if they've never heard a dislikable tune in their life?

Also nothing wrong with agreeing to disagree. Happens sometimes.

"I think Gary Neville is a better right back than Rafael, because he's more experienced, tougher tackling and more intelligent."
"Well I think Rafael is a better right back than Gary Neville, because he's fitter, faster and has more stamina."

Both have valid points and both are going to have to agree to disagree.

If you only have 1 album per different genre and sub-genre of music
Then I'd say you were a mental case trainspotter type person who has 'got the complete set' of music and doesn't need to hear any more, and therefore, do not truly like all sorts of music.

I know 50 albums is quite a lot, but when one's record collection stretches into the hundreds or thousands, it isn't all that many.

As for agreeing to disagree, I was referring to arguments about matters of fact. Preferring one footballer over another is a matter of opinion. To state that one footballer is better than another, that is a matter of fact. And if I knew about football (which I don't), I'd feel inclined to argue my case.

O.K. I getcha
just trying to point out that the term "agreeing to disagree" has its uses.

The album thing I was being hypothetical. In the grand scheme of things even someone with thousands of albums can't really describe themselves as liking "all" music. 50 is a fairly arbitrary number which is in no way an indication of what types of music you like. No number is!
