Lakenheath Old Boys

We are all former students at Lakenheath High School and other public schools in East Anglia. We were in school in the 70s and 80s and drank deeply from the well of British culture of those decades - the pints, the telly, and of course the footie!

Top Ten Irritating Phrases

The Telegraph has a list of the top 10 irritating phrases.

I can hear Jose Mourinho saying all of these.

What would you add to this list. I'd add, "to be honest." Urrgh.

"Arsenal's defense caught napping again" obviously would feature high on my list of irritants.

I agree with Dave; the ones that he mentions are much more irritating because they're indicative of the diseases afflicting English football - lack of imagination, the emphasis on grafting, defensiveness, etc. In contrast, the ones mentioned in the Torygraph article are merely linguistic place-savers. Let's be honest, these are relatively uneducated young people who are sent out in front of cameras to essentially say nothing at all.

Good one Davey. I always love that "we deserved something." Self indulgent claptrap.
