Frankie  Coccoza from the X Factor

The nights out on the piss, paid off this week for our Frankie. Got the profile up! Of course it was against the wishes of his mentor Gary!

Canalman

Nothing against him personally but that American guy's accent that commentates on the Brazilian football on Setanta does my head in.

Umpires that refs bring with them!

As opposed to the 'impartial' spectator/club official who gets pulled from the crowd to do it?

YES! I have had more experience with the refs own umpires getting it wrong than the average joe with a bit of sense in the crowd!

You might find that a lot of the 'average joe with a bit of sense' types that you talk about will be some other referee's own umpires on a different day.

Product or business names based on the English pronunciation of R at the end of a word (i.e. leave it silent) transposed to Ireland or Scotland where it doesn't exist in the local accent. Examples:

Cadbury's Wispa

Er.... can't think of any more offhand...  :-\

But I'm sure there's more because I remember seeing it manys a time and having my gears well and truly ground by it.

Dettol No Touch Handwashing System: is the soap in this so useless that it can't rid you of the plague-inducing filth on the pump when you press down on it initially? Or are there individuals who touch the pump again after having washed their hands just for the heck of it?

Yes.

If a boyo jumped out suddenly in front of me and started to sing that song at the volume he does, he wouldn't be long

getting a box on the mouth.
