The honours system and all that it honours, individual or otherwise piss me off when it shouldn't. Nah, you should be pissed off about the honours system. You're off-topic 39 minutes ago, Genie said: I don't quite get the "services to fashion" bit? She created a fashion label to sell some clothes and make herself some money... How is that any different to all the other clothes shops and fashion labels? How is it, indeed, different from literally anybody who works for a living? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, I'd love to know the definition of "services to". Utter bollocks and leads to widespread corruption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Mike Parry. Not often I am in my car during a weekday but caught a bit of his talksport show.

I'm quite sure all the real work was done by others. Apparently not., er, not that I'm up on that sort of thing, but it seems she actually did stuff. The honours system is broken and probably obsolete, but like Tony said, it's harsh to blame the individuals nominated (unless they're buying the honours from Tories or Labour or whoever).

Mike Parry is one of the most annoying **** wits I have ever heard. I cant stand him either. He talks over the guests and everything that comes out of his mouth is complete arse gravy.

Xela Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 I think Victoria Beckham is more worthy than David Cameron's wife's hairdresser! But yes, I agree, the system is broken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted December 29, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted December 29, 2016 The 'clickbait' vocabulary. With ad revenue clickbait is obviously a thing which isn't going away and while websites exist to draw views from incendiary or enticing headlines. And I'm not really pissed off about that. But the way the headlines are written piss my teeth on edge and make me want to hurt whoever writes them. There's loads of standard ones they use but the one that really gets me irked is 'Dumb things in *insert pop culture property* that everyone just ignored'. I've no idea quite what it is about that sentence, but I can picture the look of the kind of person who would say it, and I can hear the exact tone of American they'd say it in, and makes me want to reach for the knives. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wrote a long post a while back about just this but deleted it because it wasnt very eloquent. I think you've nailed it more than I could. What really pisses me off is headlines like " America just killed a dog and no one is talking about it." or "He stood on a pitchfork but what happened next will shock you." Just **** off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
