The American presidential elections. F&&K me they've been at it for months, couple of years all told I think the whole thing is. Least ours, as painful as it is, is over and done with in about 5 weeks.
And if that's not bad enough once the result is known there's another 3 months until they actually change over. Much prefer ours, loser out, winner in on the actual day itself.

People who insist on saying "presently" when they mean "at present" or "currently" or even just plain old "now"

My gears are ground by something that I don't even know the name for. I'm going to have to call it Funky Spelling. I think it dates back to that Noddy Holder calling his records things like "Cum On Feel the Noize" He'd never get away with that nowadays. It seems to have spread all over the place and there's one in particular that's driving me bonkers. In Penryn, Cornwall, there is a kids soft play place called Raise the Roof. But they haven't spelled it that way, oh no. It's Raze the Roof. Funky Spelling. Burning down buildings since 1972.

Getting all sorts of drivel and dross bunged on to my evening surgery and being pestered to see all of them ahead of the decent people who had made appointments because the receptionist had read some story in the Daily Mail about a kid who died of being made to wait its turn.

And a note, originator unidentified, telling me that I prescribed a Black Drug and Black Drugs shouldn't be prescribed in the community, as if I wasn't capable of reading, inwardly digesting, and ignoring what Scriptswitch says about fashionable eye vitamins for myself.

Getting a prescription request from a consultant and seeing "nocte" with an accent on the e written instead of "at night". Pretentious. And WRONG. Makes me wonder whether her knowledge of her medical specialism is to be relied upon.
