Now you see that's the kind of thing that grinds my gears. [/Peter Griffen]

The idea that a waiter or sales assistant gets sniffy because a customer asks for something they wouldn't choose for themselves is ridiculous, don't you think?

That's where my all purpose kick-them-squaar-in-the-noots ...

1) Do you prefer coffee or tea?

Like them both, but prefer tea. I could quite happily live without coffee, but rarely go a day without at least one cup of tea.

Has to be decent tea too, preferably Yorkshire Tea... and there are very few other people I trust to make it for me. I'm always ...

But what if they're not in the mood?? What if they're just minding their own business doing the weekly shop in Sainsbury's, and you go up to them in the soup aisle and say, "Excuse me, hi - I was just walking down the highstreet and my iPhone told me that several other gays were in the vicinity ...

Oh and this is probably relevant; I recently got Sky HD. First box was returned as the sound and vision were frequently out of sync on both live and recorded material. Second box was also returned for the same reason and I've returned to SD Sky+.

Many people with Sky+ HD had lip-sync issues a ...

Now I've decided it's got potential but is rubbish.

I think you've hit the nail on the head there. Its knowledge base seems extremely limited at the moment. "How tall is Nelson's Column?" works, but "How tall is the Blackpool Tower?" doesn't.
