What annoys you? Extra time

Regulatory…
Regu-late-ery versus Regular-tory

Defence…
Dee-fence versus Da-fence

The two things that boil my piiss though are
Speak to…
Change tact…

Anyone using either of those in conversation then I’m sorry I can’t take you seriously and I’ll instantly tune out.

Have you noticed the gradual creep of people saying ‘new’ as ‘noo’. Very annoying seppo wannabes.

Everyone I know (in Australia) emphasises the -tribute part like the noun ‘tribute’ in the verbs distribute, attribute or contribute, but the dis-, att- and con- syllables in the nouns ending in -ion…

I only became conscious of the distinction recently and quickly realised the UK and US pronunciations are wrong.

Seppo wannabes need to be deported.

Yeah it is. But he was also bloody good last night

Deadset all we need is one more guy of that calibre to start making a difference.

The cats just keep topping up at the top.

But mocking them mercilessly first?

I think it’s also from a South London accent.
The worst ones are those using ‘Mom’

Ideally, but there’s no great need.
They’ve already amply shown they are intellectual minnows (in all likelihood business-type wankers) whose words should be completely ignored.

A lot of players are bloody good… all the time mate. It was puke worthy. Media has a boner for him, doesnt mean the rest of us do. And im all for fans at ground etc to dress up, do what they want… but the broadcast team, flog central

Still going, FFS, i thought this was indiginous round, have a cold shower C7

My hate is the misused apostrophe…particular when pluralising everyday nouns with a 's.

Oh…and misspelling…I once refused to buy a foccacia.

I’m sure there are a lot more…and not forgetting the tosser at Subway in East Warrnambool Homemaker Centre who said he’d be with me momentarily.

And people who listen to Tom Elliott and talk as if he’s telling the truth. So much MAGA on 3AW.

There is a regional town in SW WA where the residents have this pronunciation. I suppose that it was originally settled by people from a particular area of UK that had this version.

And this is a major reason why we need to strengthen deportation laws. :wink:

And make sure those clowns out at Northland today are gone.

Youth gangs, at least one as young as fifteen.
Some could be born here, some could be Australian citizens.

20 years in prison should be the standard regardless of age

Some people love titles. I learnt early on from a great Boss that titles mean nothing and you feed your family from the money you get paid. Though he did make one proviso, that if you are given a title of Business Development Manager, then immediately look for another job, as this is the title given to the next person to be sacked.
