I will also add this story because I want to post it. Because it irritates me.
Discussing the recent pier fire in Weston with someone I work with (an irritating, middle-aged Northerner who never shuts up) this exchange occurred.
Her: "Well, I didn't see it on the news at 6.30"
Me: "No, it broke at 7.30 just as I was getting up. It just came through."
"Oh, well I didn't see it"
"No, it literally broke at 7.30 - the fire started at 7am. The story broke at 7.30"
"Well, the worst one was September 11th"
(Me, in my head) WHAT THE FUCK?!?
Her: "And before that, Diana's death. My daughter came running in - she'd only be 6 - and said 'Mum, mum Diana's died'. I said don't be silly. But September 11th gave me goose bumps. I watched it happen live".

Ha! Yes that is annoying. Oh look, another red faced, flakey skinned, squirmy blob. How... nice.
Add to that people who insist babies look different and say stuff like 'He looks like you.' What a flaky, fat, pale blob?!
