They're not fucking irrational!
Words :
"For free" It's either free or it's for nowt. Speak fucking English!
"Text" is not a fucking verb and "texted" is not its past tense! Speak fucking English!
"Fifty PEE". It's fifty pence you ignoramus.
"Literally" in every second sentence and meaning nothing of the sort. Look the fucker up!
Travel :
Ignorant cockends who sit in lanes 2 and 3 of a motorway not passing anything.
They're probably the same ones who fly up behind you at night then sit on your quarter dazzling you for three miles because they're too stupid to pass in one go.
They're probably also the same twats who pull out to pass a lorry then drive alongside it for miles, too scared to GET OUT OF THE FUCKING WAY!
Drivers around Cambridge who slow to 55 when approaching a 70mph revenue camera.
Politicians :
All of them
Work :
Knobbers who think they're important because they've got "manager" in their job title. Sorry, cock, yer a number same as me.
Everywhere :
People who moan about things they can't do anything abou . . .oh.

People who leave a space before the colon...

I'm glad to say
I don't leave a space, I insert a space.

Pedantry
According to the OED, 'text' has been used as a verb since 1564, with it's usage in regards to mobile phones since 1998.

Referring to the 50p issue, the 'p' is what I like to call an abbreviation, as opposed to idiocy. Might just be me though.

I'm pretty sure I have better things to do with my life than this...

If
"p" is an abbreviation, why didn't we say 2"s" and 6"d" in the olden days? Eh? Eh?

Interesting story (well, interesting to me; might be dull as dishwater to everyone else)
My mother was a dirty foreigner, and grew up with decimal currency in her native land. In 1970 she came to the U.K. and had to learn how to cope with £.s.d. Less than a year later (http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/february/15/newsid_2543000/2543665.stm) the process of decimalisation started, and completely flummoxed my mother. In such a short time she had become accustomed to what we now call "old money", such is its inherent superiority to decimal currency. £.s.d. is intrinsically better-suited than decimal to mental arithmetic due to the larger number of factors; it's easier to spot patterns while totting up sums in one's head.

In short: a dirty foreigner instinctively recognised the superiority of "old money" over "new money", so much so that the change to new money was just as traumatic after a few months as it was for the locals who'd grown up with old money.

Fair enough.
I'd always heard it as dishwater when growing up. Sounds like I need to clean out my ears.

Just drivers in Cambridge generally
I swear I don't get so stressed out in such a short space of time driving anywhere else.
(Petite chien is going to do science to it, Sun 3 Apr 2011, 11:28, closed)

Cambridge
Cambridge is awful to drive in because of the following features - not directly, you understand, but because people don't understand them:
-Rising bollards
-Cyclists and their attendant infrastructure

That's all. What's so difficult to understand about a big fucking sign that says "RISING BOLLARDS - BUS, TAXI, CYCLES ONLY"?

Oh, and the middle lane on Gonville Place heading towards Hills Road. Why is it so impossible to note that it changes direction after the QA car park? Drive in it you fucking idiots.
