This probably makes me a terrible person but the female disabled comedian. Now, she might be some peoples cup of tea on stand up and appreciate the hurdles she’s overcome, but I’ve sat down to watch an episode of QI and had to turn it off cos everytime she speaks it takes ages for a punchline and I can’t understand most of it. Just ruins the flow of any comedy.4

If you mean Rosie Jones, I’m 100% with you mate, can’t stand her. My wife has to turn over whenever she’s on as wellValleyGary said:This probably makes me a terrible person but the female disabled comedian.

She’s got my upmost sympathy for her condition but don’t find her funny at all and her screeching grates on me.3 -
One problem with Rosie Jones, and I appreciate it can't be helped, is with her delivery being slow, you can reach the punchline way before she gets there.2

I host a quiz on Thursday afternoons, almost all the seating is open air. Despite generally decent weather, all bar one Thursday for the past eight weeks it has been horrible. Today it's lashing down and high winds are expected almost exactly when the quiz is due to start.0

You should advertise Rosie Jones as the warm up act. Nobody will turn up and problem solved.Algarveaddick said:I host a quiz on Thursday afternoons, almost all the seating is open air.

They also have toxins that are bad for bees and I don't think their thick rubbery leaves are much good for other insect life, especially as the sort of gardener that plants them tend to be the sort of gardener that likes to wipe out insect life because they can't stand any blemishes on their fake-looking out-of-place flora. Possibly the second worse thing you can put in a garden after crappy plastic lawns.KBslittlesis said:

The amount of plants/flowers you can’t/shouldnt put in a garden with dogs is amazing although mine are out of the eat anything stage, some plants they only have to brush past and wash themselves a little later to get poisoned. 🤷♂️1 -

The length of time some people take to move off at lights drives me mad.Redvalleyeast said:When sitting at a red light, the car in fronts driver is on their phone/looking in their bag for something/having a slurp of coffee etc etc,the lights go green,they fail to notice,get tooted,oh,the lights are green,pull away,they go through by which time the lights have gone red and everyone else behind get stuck there,lovely.
If I'm first at traffic lights, I often find I can be a long way past the lights before the next vehicle starts to move. I haven't jumped the lights or broken the speed limit, but am ready to move off as soon as the lights change. We could reduce a lot of town congestion if people moved off more quickly and didn't leave massive gaps between themselves and the vehicle in front.13 -
McGinn gets a straight red for taking out Udogie with an awful tackle.
Micah Richards in the studio says 'I know McGinn and he's not that type of player'.
No comeback from the presenter, maybe they could say if he's not that type of player why did he commit a terrible tackle.

I agree that is incredibly annoying, especially with sets of lights that don't give long and you can be just three or four cars back and get stuck there for another round because of the ditherers in front. What's more sobering though is to remember that if that's what their reaction time is like when they are in an anticipatory situation, it's likely to be far slower when they are driving behind you and have to brake suddenly with no warning.ME14addick said:

When I'm exporting a file from Adobe Premiere Pro and it f**king well hangs on at 100% for a bloody age without actually completing.
I mean if its not completed it shouldn't have reached 100% should it Adobe!!3 -
Linked to this the current trend to say ‘100 per cent’ when agreeing with someone. 😡ForeverAddickted said:When I'm exporting a file from Adobe Premiere Pro and it f**king well hangs on at 100% for a bloody age without actually completing.

The sheer number of plonkers that seem to have no comprehension of a box junction, or are so fecking impatient to move they disregard it and when the lights change they are stranded there blocking the way of traffic waiting the move from the junction left or right of them.4
