Keep an empty glass by the bed side. If you get thirsty even later in the night - ta da!

I sat an exam on Saturday. On the letter I was sent confirming the date, time and venue it said "BRING A PEN WITH YOU" - so I did.


When I got there, we were told the answer forms (which vaguely resembled National Lottery forms) were to be completed in pencil, and did we all remember to bring a pencil and eraser?


The exam administrator then tutted at us all because we did not bring pencils and erasers and she had to go find some.

1) The fact that my gym is supposed to close at 10.30pm, but they start turning the music and TV screens off at 9.45 so they can try and push you out by ten.


2) Shop assistants, or indeed anyone in the service industry, who acts like they're doing you some kind of favour by doing their job. Or worse, the ones who start saying 'I don't have to put up with abuse' if you criticise them for cocking up.


3) Jo Whiley.


4) People who tell you to 'chill' when it should be obvious you're about to snap.


5) People (usually irritating teens) who use the word 'random' to describe everything they think isn't fantastic - and probably don't know what random actually means at all.


6) Anyone who makes a big fuss about something being 'urgent' when it clearly isn't.


7) Americanisms.


8) People who put EVERYTHING into the present tense; e.g. the bloke in H&M the other day looking at a jumper and saying 'I'm liking this a lot' - as if he might suddenly stop in a few hours.


I know I have more, I just can't think at the mo!

Shop assistants not doing what they are paid for! I went into a Tesco express last week and I went to the express lane. The checkouts are set out in such a way that you put your basket in the slot, they ring up the items and bag them. The bags are to their right hand side and are positioned so the customer can't reach the bags as they are suposed to pack the bag for you. I took my items to the till, he rang them up, I paid, and my shopping was still sitting there unpacked. I reached over, took the bag and said, I'll pack it shall I!


You wouldn't get that behaviour in M&S

I find her very sycophantic. She really kisses arse to some of the people she has on the show, and I just can't stand the whole 'love in' thing. The other day she had Snoop Dogg on and people were actually texting in to 'apologise' for the fact that he had a bottle thrown at him at a gig. Has he apologised for all his homophobic comments and criminal behaviour over the years?


BTW, before anyone asks 'why do you listen if you don't like her?' it's because we have it on at work.

Everyone moans if I do. Besides, it doesn't really bother me that much, it's only in the background.
