Aaaaaaaarrghhh indeed Saint, a pet hate 
. Another one is "flavourful" why not just say TASTY
Its part of our modern obsession with increasingly fancypants food.
I remember when the height of sophistication was a Vista packet curry and Blue Nun 
I love Vista - never seen the one you mention, hmmm - glad it never caught on.
Any kind of mumbo-jumbo, i hate it - mostly found in Health amd Safety.
"At this moment in time" - you mean "now".
"Err on the side of caution" - you mean "be careful"
Everything getting smaller !!!
I looked at Penguin biskies the other day - my God they are half their original size !!!
AND Jacobs crackers!! I used to struggle to stuff a whole one in my gob 
Now one just slips in there - not good.
Agree with both Saint's suggestions ^^^^
Grrr... teeny weeny sized Penguins and Mars bars too. Did they think we wouldn't notice?
If the portions are getting smaller how come my waistline is getting bigger?

Its every other tv programme being a flippin' cookery one. Keeps us in a permanent state of hunger.... we're hypnotised into eating more

People who think the back of a bus queue starts at the front
My sister nearly ripped some guys throat out today because he 'podged' in front of her. He called her a 'Rottweiler' 
then shut up when he could see she was getting 'riled up'. She is so proud she was called a Rottweiler
Good job her daughter wasn't there, cause she would have 'punched his lights' and make no mistake

Now - i'm not saying your sister was wrong, oh no.
But . . . the ever increasing "aggressive woman" is not tolerable. 
Control that woman Moonie !!!

Angry harridans in curlers, wielding rolling pins and henpecking their menfolk - a fine old British tradition, just updated to the modern day surely? 
You may have a point Rosie however . . . it cannot be applied to the 'ever increasing' volume.
Its sacred to the traditional battle axe.

Sissie and Ada!!!
I stand corrected Saint *nods* Battleaxes were a separate species and had a certain style:
The loss of the traditional battle axe

Meanwhile I had to visit my sick Mum at HQ, and found myself stuck in the Tesco car-park. Cars to the left of me, cars to the right of me. Oh for a flame thrower and heavy calibre machine gun.

The decline (seemingly) of the deep bath (which i love)
My friend said,
"You have a bath? I never have a bath - just showers"

Not at all St Renton! Mrs Jer and I use the "Any excuse!" comment when men feel the need to cross dress. It started off in holiday camp land when we noticed that in fancy dress competitions a certain type of husband was extremely keen to dress up in his wife's dainty underthings. Annoyingly they used to win too.

We got a new bath about 18months ago and i made sure we got the widest one possible. Legs akimbo is just the ticket
And a nice metal one at that - no plasticy stuff.
No More Nails its not nearly as sticky as the say
Well that's the first complaint i've ever heard but will bear it in mind
Nothing seems as good as it's made out to be
Now it may be my own fault for watching but . . . nothing seems to be personal anymore.
I'm watching Embarrassing Bodies. Is it too far?
