Seriously though, couldn't agree more. I've noticed it a lot more recently for some reason.

There are some ads, especially on the radio, that annoy me so much I change the station. One at the moment is where the lady thinks that there must have been a misprint on the posters advertising a brand new Golf for €16,000.
Also, spending that kind of money on a car. Fair enough, maybe, if you're a car fanatic or loaded.
I like to think of negative meanings of ads. That one's a good example. I interpret her incredulity as being at an excessive price. Now, subconsciously, I think Golfs are overpriced. Eat **** and die, marketers.
You can't spell failure without FAI
What about the radio ad, -man SHOUTING "Frank,Frank,super Frank,super Frankie Lampard"
That never occurred to me actually. I think they're overpriced anyway though, consciously and subconsciously.
I know. I was just playing with the whole "could've, would've, should've" thing I hear people say. Another thing I wouldn't mind banning actually, as it's usually aimed at me when I regret not doing something.
Haven't heard it, sounds very annoying though. I also tend to change the TV channel when ads for road safety and poverty come on. To be fair though, the banning should probably be applied to my behaviour in these instances.What about the radio ad, -man SHOUTING "Frank,Frank,super Frank,super Frankie Lampard"

I think it's for Setanta Sports but I always change stations the second it starts.
Also when people use 'being' instead of 'been' and vice-versa.
Bray Wanderers: So good they were relegated twice (and still stayed up).
People who type your instead of you're
People who say alot instead of a lot
It really shouldn't annoy me though

i do that even though i know its wrong. I dont know why or where i got the impression that it was correct. It was either
a) thats what my primary school teacher thought it was or;
b) it is something to do with alán which is all typed together (i think)
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
When people say 'ye' when referring to only 1 person. I notice a lot of Derry fans do it so maybe it's a Northern thing.
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
When people say 'ye' in general
Here on a technicality.
Better than 'yiz' like the Dubs do or 'yous' like Donegal.

its only when boggers say it that it gets on my nerves. "What are yee doin?"
Its pronounced differently in Dublin (but spelt the same).

Craig Doyle - and all who sail in her. I know he is not a "behaviour" but anyone who uses the word "footie" in an attempt to be blokey needs to be shot
DB Cooper is alive !
its a derry thing. yese or youse or yousans are the plural forms.
i believe in one man, one vote. i should be that one man with that one vote.
ALWAYS ON TOUR!
To help outsiders understand Derrys fine lilt, we even have our own translation book:
Anyone who uses the word blokey
As in the Irish? Nope; it's a lán.
