What annoys you....?

[English Bob]

When listening to the show today, I noticed a quirk of Dom's, which keeps cropping up. Whenever the team talk about a lady's hairstyle...Dom ALWAYS manages to get the word 'lustre' in. Every time!

Has anyone else noticed any quirks the team members have?

I think the only other one I've noticed is the way Tina pronounces 'year', she makes it sound like 'yee'. That will stick in your mind for sure

Lustre is a nice word. Not one you get many opportunities to use.

I have picked up Chris' expression "a dog's age", not sure if that's a Yorkshire thing, but I find myself saying it quite often now. Not sure if that really counts as a quirk though.

I have noticed those as well. Dom also uses the name Jeff when thinking or a random or square male name, and Chris frequently uses Martin.

Chris frequently drops the 'g' from the word 'morning'. And he often elongates and softens the second 'n' as well.

Dave quite often says 'prolly' instead of probably.

I am sure there are loads of them, but those are the first three that spring to mind. None of them bother me, they are just things I have noticed.

Dom always pronounces it Lustrerrrrr too.

[McGuinness-89]

Dave doing Tedious says "and in that respect shares something in common with" a lot.

Chris conducts every interview in pretty much the same way, and has done for years (if not the entire duration of the show):

Chris starts the link, brings the guest in (to jingles or clapping), and always end by saying bye but go to a jingle or something else while the guest leaves.

Tried and tested method and I guess it works!

(Also, Chris always used to go down the same route with every female guest but he seems to have eased off in more recent times... )

[Nicola_Red]

Oh and another interview thing, when bringing a guest in Chris always says "look, there he/she is".

[hdsport82]

Chris seemed to go through a phase of saying 'wowsers' last year, although can't say I've noticed it as much recently (which is a good thing).

[richbrown]

'I can see what religion you are' is one that's come up quite a bit, stood out for me anyway.

[LordMonkcheese]

Chris says, "seemingly", far too frequently.
Although thinking about it, not for a while.

[Nicola_Red]

Also "fully" is one Dave uses loads, and now Dom and Chris have picked it up too.

Seemingly not then.

[Nicola_Red]

I can't say as I've ever noticed him say 'seemingly' any more than any other person.

Seemingly you aren't paying attention.











I'll stop now.

[McGuinness-89]

Noticed one yesterday. Chris is the only person I've ever heard use the expression "throw a six to start".

[What]

It annoys me when Chris says "your man xxx". He never used to do it, then for some reason decided to do it all the time. I'm assuming at the time he had just seen Dara Ó Briain's DVD.

[chrysostom]

It annoys me when people confuse your and you're.

Chris will have a fair bit of irish influence in him through family, and it's not that uncommon a phrase.

Aled always says 'Gosh'.

No confusion, just typed in haste. As I said, he never used to do it. But thanks for contributing.

What's usage was correct: "Your man" when said in the Irish way denotes ownership of the man and is normally meant to infer familiarity with that person e.g. "I was speaking to your man Dave Grohl the other day." "You're man" simply would not make sense, "You're" being an abbreviation of "you are". So "what" was correct.

[Nicola_Red]

What edited his post to correct his use of 'you're' as opposed to 'your' after chrysostom posted.

[Yudster]

And I still get grief around here for being pedantic about stuff.

Ah okay, sorry guys. I was having my monthly look at the site so I am definitely a bit out of touch That makes sense.

[col89]

Has anyone else noticed in the last few weeks Chris has been constantly using the word 'literally'?

I wouldn't mind if he was using it correctly, but he isn't. The other day when Kevin Bridges was on and they were talking about how popular British comedians are right now, Moyles said something like: "The public are literally devouring comedians at the moment." Er... are you sure about that Chris? The British public are cannibals who turn up to a comedy gig and eat the comedian? URGH.

Fearne has always done this ("My heart literally jumped out of my chest during that live lounge"... er, no it didn't love) but I expect it from her. It's a real shame that Moyles has picked it up as well.

I still love him but this is this is driving me up the wall (metaphorically, not literally) at the moment.

I can't say I've noticed Chris using the phrase more than usual lately, but I have heard him say it. It's one of those annoying habits that I find an awful lot of people have. My biggest pet hate about Chris is his attempts at impressions. The horrible, extremely irritating Harry Rednapp one between 6.30 and 7 the other morning made me first shout at the radio in annoyance, and then turn it off and snooze for another while instead of listening to any more of what to me, was like someone scraping their nails down a blackboard.

I was happy to hear that Chris got lots of abuse on the text over it, although he seemed very puzzled about why that was happening. I was so glad to know that it wound other people up as much as it did me, and the worst thing about it was (as is often the case with Chris I think) that he didn't know when to leave it alone. Just when you thought he'd stopped it, he started up again. It really reminded me of the awfulness of 'Tranny Rach'.

Chris is quite good at impressionations I think
