And the silly @r$e in front of me looking for the exact change!
Buy plenty of Matron's sculpts now!

If he keeps using the chainsaw, the value of his work will soon go up.

Supermarket checkouts are okay. Much preferable to those feckin, cr*ppy, noisy, back-chatting self-service monstrosities. When they put them in at the store where I worked I refused to use them on principle.

You want to know what really winds me up. And I normally don't watch this thing due to this problem.

Channel5 Weather at 17:23hrs. The first thing out of the lass's mouth is always:

"Hi. I'm Sian Welby."

What's that got to do with the weather! How many other weather bulletins begin with the presenter telling me their names. Who cares! The bulletin could be read out by a convicted thief dressed up as a lobster for all I care, as long as they correctly predict the upcoming forecast.

"Hi. I'm Sian Welby"

Has got to be one of the most useless pieces of information to give out on a weather broadcast to date!
princeps Roy , prince de Monacorra, (ascended in February 2023)
His Serene Highness the Sovereign Prince of (the imaginary sovereign microstate of) Monacorra

All Hail the Principality of Monacorra!  8-}

Techno

That's akin to comedians ending their routines with...
"I've been Joe Bloggs.....Thank you, you've been a great audience !"  ;)

If that's your name...Who else are you supposed to be ?

Cheers - I've been Techno. (Some of the time, anyway.  ;))

"Waiter, what's this slop?"
"It's bean soup, sir."
"I don't care what it's been. What is it now?"
I don't drink coffee to wake up. I wake up to drink coffee.

Lord Kermit of Birkenhead

People who start sentences with "So...", our local grammar nuisance may be able to comment ?

I try not to pick on Americans, tho' I admit that one tries my tolerance.
I don't drink coffee to wake up. I wake up to drink coffee.

So, what exactly is wrong with starting a sentence with "So, ...." :)
There are 100 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who can work from incomplete data
