I hate it on film forums when posters are asked to name their favourite (singular) film and they answer with lists.

Being in a supermarket and being impeded by a regiment of employees filling up piles of trays on a trolley for people who require their "shop" to be delivered.

Why is this a problem? An Americano is Espresso + water. Some people choose to add milk, others don't.

Then the customer would ask for an Americano with milk

And I’m against that

The vernacular is owned by the retailer(s). The number of times I’ve asked for a white coffee only to be asked do I want filter, or an americano with hot or cold milk or even a latte.

So what should we ask for?

Spending a fortune on a lads weekend to Chessington world of adventures but having the experience destroyed by all the overexcited kids not being controlled properly by their useless parents.

Sorry but I have to pick this up. If you're spending a fortune on a lads weekend, and choose to spend said fortune at a playpark that is guaranteed to be chock-full RAMMED with Haribo'd kids on a sugar high and yammering foreign students who cannot even talk without shrieking at each other, then you deserve everything you get. What were you thinking when there's Prague, Bruges or Amsterdam for very little more ??

Predominantly teenage girls and young women who think it makes them sound 'cool', 'sexy' and American - whereas it actually makes them sound like vacuous bimbos and airheads who spend their sad empty lives posting a hundred duck-faced selfies on Instagram every day and obsessing over what Kim Kardashian had for breakfast.

Oh, and their sentences usually start with 'Ohmigod', and end with Vocal Fry.

Is it 2010 again?

Since when has Chessington world of adventures been exclusive to kids?

Since never.

However, I should say here that I am speaking as a grumpy middle aged man who is filled with abject horror at the mere prospect of ever re-visiting a Chessington, or Legoland, or Alton Towers, or any other god-forsaken theme park of misery at some pain-in-the-arse far-flung place to get to. If I HAD to go, then I would much rather spend the entire day sitting in the carpark on my own with a book, the radio, a tablet and a modest lunch than spend my whole day imprisoned in one of those infernal overcrowded overpriced loud over-populated-with-other- peoples-screaming-kids death camps for the soul again. Been there, done that. And if I ever suggested such a weekend to any of my mates, I imagine they would similarly physically recoil, appalled at the idea.

Yep, I'm a miserable old scrote.
