New - The things that really annoy you

[Templeton Peck]

Ever seen huge moments in business unfold and wished you could have been in the room where it happened?

Well now you can be there with my brand new business show talking to the people at the heart of these massive moments.

How F1 was purchased, how Five Guys went global, how…

You make Michael Owen look like Liberace, you achingly dull weirdo

I like how his chosen cover art makes it look like he's interviewing a victim of domestic abuse.

And shut the fucking door, Jake.

I just don't understand who his target audience would be?

Is it me, or would anyone other than Alan Sugar/ Richard Branson actually give a fuck?

I'm busy giving Mrs DW her quarterly review. She's managed to lose one of our mugs somehow (and our house isn't that big) so Low Performance on that front.

I was in a rush to watch Leicester v Newcastle last night (!) I couldn't find the remote though, my daughter has a habit of taking it places absent mindedly, it is infuriating, but i found it this morning.

In the garage.

Believe me I have looked everywhere. Fuck knows what she's done.

Fortunately she knows to stay the fuck away from my St Pauli mug and not put it somewhere 'so we know where it is'.

Tech bros?, had to consult Dr Google, i reckon I could make an half decent wannabe weather man.
I’m often referred to as ‘Trevor the weather’.

Something I really detest is snobby people like Kate Adie insulting people about their accents. Apparently she comes from Sunderland and didn't have a local accent.

Birmingham accent ranked ‘most hated’ on BBC’s unofficial league table, Kate Adie reveals

Journalist shares details of broadcaster’s dislike for Brummie accent as archives of her life and career to be catalogued

www.theguardian.com

And, The Guardian can do one when this is a 'News Headline'.

Tbf, the brummie accent is awful

Weirdly specific job adverts, one on indeed at the minute says van driver for an art transport company, yea I can do that, open it they want
BA in art history,
HGV2 licence as you’ll be driving a lorry,
Fork lift truck licence to load the lorry if needed.
Now two out of three there go together, I get that, but I’ve never met a HGV driver with a BA in art history* and neither is that a van driving job.

* did know a bus driver with a history PhD though, did the bus driving to get a bit of money together after uni, 35 yrs later he was still bus driving as he enjoyed it

Newsflash: To people not from the area we all sound the same

Had a lifetime of it even though a Black Country accent is nothing like a Birmingham accent.
Good news for Ms Addie is that as the generation’s go by regional accents are disappearing, my Son’s don’t have much of a local accent at all and my Grandaughters don’t have any sort of accent, although the 15 year old sounds like a female Clinton Morrison.
