The ghost horse of Abertawe
My brother and I were camping in Wales waaaay back in the 90's sometime. After a night out clubbing at "The Zone" we decided to walk the four hundred miles back to the campsite, pissed, in an unfamiliar city, at two in the morning.
We were doing pretty well, only getting a bit lost, and after a while found ourselves walking a deserted street that hugged the side of a hill, houses on either side. Anyway, theres this break in the houses to our left (which are up the hill) with a random grassy area filling it.
And in this grass area, about 10 meters from the pavement, stands a horse.
A glowing white horse, unmoving, making no sound, in an unfenced feild in the middle of a city.
Despite there being 13 years between my brother and I, we A)think very alike, and had exactly the same thought process:
horse
white
strange
ghostly
ghost horse
fucking GHOSTHORSE
RUN
!!!11
and B)can both run as fast as each other when provoked.
And run we both did, full pelt, all the way back to the tent, where we sat wide-eyed and sober now, waiting for the ghostly whinny that was surely inevetable... it never came, and we drifted into an uneasy sleep.
Incidently, the next day we retraced our steps, and it was just a fucking white horse in a field.

» Annoying words and phrases
The Daily Mail
For their shite grammar, but most of all for putting 30pc instead of 30%. Why, for fucks sakes?
EDIT
Argh, I've just remembered that I hate the weather being described as mild, especially when mild has a modifier before it, like 'very mild' or 'quite mild'.
Mild is not much or weak, for example a mild dose of the squits, so the forecasters informing me that there is 'not much weather' around today irritates me a lot. But not as much as being told that there is a lot of not much happening with the weather.
Quite is misused as well, it really means 'a lot' but people use it for 'a little'. Not really annoying though.
People using obviously for things which are not obvious gets on my nerves. And the word Plush, as a noun, or at all for that matter.

Incubus, A crow left to the murder
Still playing on my mp3 player, when I was laying face down in the rain in the middle of Dorchester high street at four in the morning.
I had just crashed my longboard at *ludicrous* speed on the way back from work and was in pretty bad shape.
All there was in the world was pain, rain, and that song.
