khay 8 Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 People who say expresso instead of espresso. People who complain that there's hardly any coffee in their cup when they ordered an espresso (purely based on the fact that it was 10p cheaper than any of the other coffees). Do you work in Starbucks? No, I used to work in a cinema. Customers are idiots. The Vue is so much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 3978 Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 "You know" 20 times a sentence is becoming far too common - I blame Beckham and other thick fuckers but "normal" people have started doing it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you work in Starbucks? No, I used to work in a cinema. Customers are idiots. The Vue is so much better. Cineworld (which is nowhere near as good as UGC was) is cheaper in every aspect. With the prices that cinemas charge I think this is a blessing. It also has more screens (but not enough to show Goal 2 ). Ben and Jerry's > Haagen Daaz.

Kid Dynamite 5907 Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 on the topic of words my grandad used 2 classics i hadnt heard in years today. First he asked if i had my 'jerkin' with me and then said he could hear the 'spuggies' singing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest I prefer the Vue as its closer, and the seats are comfortable. For both reasons I don't mind paying extra for. Not looking forward to paying full price and not student price though. My student card should do me up till the end of the summer though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fop 1 Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 (edited) Anything that begins with "Eco" (Ecotherapy, Ecorape, Ecogenocide whatever). "Craic" (unless you are actually from Ireland, maybe) and "I could care less" (when they mean "I could NOT careless", or at least "like I could careless"). (and people that say "yeahyeahyeah" ) Edited May 14, 2007 by Fop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 13846 Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 I just dont like it when people from working class background come to Uni and start speaking posh because of who they hang round with. Like my mate from Yorkshire's voice has totally changed, started saying the word 'one' as 'won' and all that posh shite. Twat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 8989 Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 my accent has all but gone to be honest. Not through any concious effort to sound "posh", it's just that I've always picked up on the accents and dialect of the people I spend a lot of time with. Two weeks or so back in Newcastle and I'll be more Geordie than I sound now, go stay with my Irish relatives and I'm sure I'd pick up their accent a little too. Like I say it's not a conscious thing, so maybe your mate is the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetleftpeg 0 Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Phone voices can be canny funny, me mam and my boss are the best like. Especially the way they emphasise the 'ing' on the end of a word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who changes their accent needs to have a word with themself (preferably in their native tongue). Haway alex, you've lived on the emerald isle for a while now, shirly you say a thing or two with an Oirish lilt? As I said before, I'm not deliberately "putting on" an accent to disguise my own, I just pick up the way others speak around me. I think it's most noticable in students living away from their home, they're mixing with a much larger variety of accents everyday. anyway, on my return I switch back to the "how man lyke petal, flower, y'knaaaaaaah" rhythm pretty sharpish for fear of the old blokes at the lercal staving my head in with their steiners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my mates dad, when drunk, would pick peoples accent up after about an hour, mixing it in with his own very quickly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walliver 0 Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 My dad used to do a lot of work with people living in Asia and I always found it funny the way he used to speak to them on the phone. One of my mates is Welsh but the only time he sounds it is when he gets drunk. It's brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
