Nowhere can beat Inverurie - locally pronounced
geeree (or more properly
the gearee)
A local explained to me that the area is historically known as The Garioch, with Garioch being pronounced
geeree. He never managed to explain why they persist with it.

similar is Leominster pronounced Lemster unless you're a local, when it's Lemner..
In Cornwall there's a good few too..Mousehole is
Mou-zzel (which means nearby there might be a
Shi-ttel....)

Yes. It’s a no go area because of them. Fact.

Supposedly 'humorous' ads where a pregnant woman needs to be rushed to hospital by a panicking husband as the new arrival shows up early. How many thousands of times has that been done? I just wonder if they actually paid somebody in an advertising agency to come up with that . . .

My current pet hate is BBC news reporters mispronouncing Scottish placenames. Now, some of these are understandable and I have a great deal of tolerance for the mispronunciation of Milngavie, Auchtermuchty, Stronachlachar etc... and it would in some ways be disappointing if they could pronounce them properly, but how hard is it to get Wester Ross correct?
The correct emphasis is on Ross - Wester Ross not Wester Ross
Inverness not Inverness
Cowdenbeath not Cowdenbeath
Until this stops I am going to insist on pronouncing Hemel Hempstead in the arabic/hebraic way as Chemel Chempstead
They've got no chance pronouncing Daenerys Targaryen properly then

Not as far as I know, but to compound the issue, my home address was in Taff Street. How my uni friends liked that one. Pricks.

There's a tax on vowels in Wales.

I hate when I'm about to click on a page and the screen jumps all of a sudden so that I end up clicking something completely different or losing the page altogether. This just drives me nuts!
Ok, First World problems, I guess...

The Western Mail website is perhaps one of the worst offenders for this, normally due to ads loading, you could get an ad blocker and that may help, unfortunately I can't install one on my work PC.

Thanks for the advice. I use an ad blocker on my home computer, as a matter of fact, and, yes, it's about the adds loading. Just when you think it's safe - up pops another

Not sure about you guys, but I hate when the country you live in is under emergency rule and behaving like a super power and there's nothing on TV but round-the-clock analysis under the heading
Live Breaking News!.

I'm not going to get into the politics of it here, but these guys are acting like the empire is back right now. The traditional Ottoman military band has been dusted off and rolled out to perform, & the zealots are out in their droves making
fatih prayers for a victorious conquest (also common practice in Ottoman times). Meanwhile our glorious leader is making thunderous speeches to euphoric applause on live television several times a day; the same glorious leader who was making thunderous speeches the day I arrived here more than 12 years ago. He's already reigned for longer than many sultans.

Senior members of the UKIP cabinet who resign, just because their leader refuses to resign, just because there was a vote of no-confidence, just because he was shagging some buck-toothed, spam-brained slag who couldn't keep her socially retarded opinions to herself.
Why can't the pointless cunts all stay in the one bucket of piss where we can keep an eye on them?
