Grr Grr grr

As the tour guide says 'My colleagues and myself will be pleased to help you in any way'

I would reply "Myself would like ..." They might find that odd and look to their own speech.
I hate the use of my, as in "I love my football" or I love my music". It is not necessary to use 'my'

I hate 'you guy' or worse still 'yous guys'....aaaaarrrrggghhhh

BBevan they simply wouldn't get it!

I have several pet hates including 'no problem' after I have thanked someone. No one ever suggested there was a problem.

PIN number. Grrr who would say Personal Identification Number Number? My bank even prints it!

Well you could be pedantic about ‘ my music’ as music is very personal and I may not like your taste so it could well be ‘my’ music
My big hate is men that talk about OUR pregnancy, they might have had five minutes involvement but there’s no OUR in padding around with a big tummy, an aching back, sore boobs, and the pain of childbirth NO It’s not OURS its definitely MINE

We are pregnant.

Nonnie you would hate me as I often say ‘no problem’ I also say PIN number you wouldn’t say PI number or I ve lost my pin you d think they were looking for a safety pin or hair pin or something and Vampirequeen you d hate me too as I often use the word ‘guys’

MissAdventure, Congratulations!!

"What would it look like?" Is a phrase I've heard a lot lately. It must be the new buzz speak.

And what happened to the word "to"? I hear people "going cinema", "going town", even "going toilet" and it really, really grinds my gears!

Bbevan....that’s a great idea! ( myself would like)

BlueBelle lots of people simply ask me to put my PIN in the machine, it is quite normal! Don't think I have ever had need to say I lost it.

of course, if you speak proper like wot I do, you are 'going down the town'

Myself is logging off.

Nonnie I am willing to give it a try. Just for the pleasure of doing so. ?

* vampirequeen* 'guys' irritates me too. What did we say before? Has it replaced 'folks', which always sounds a bit self-conscious.

Yourself, instead of you. Myself, instead of me. Both irritate the hell out of me. Always youngsters who use it too. Why?

'Come on you guys' - when it's a five year old DGD I don't mind at all!

That's put me in mind of a Joan Armatrading song " Me Myself I " haha

I like that song!

What do you Fink? ?hate that one

Oh me myself does too Jalimal

I don't mind "hey you guys...." - In that respect, I never quite left 1967 so I'm easy with it.
as for 'yourself' - I worked in a firm where all the directors were Irish and everyone was referred to as 'yourself', eg 'I've got the kettle on, what will it be for yourself". Loved it.

I live in the north west where "going t'town" etc is common place. I don't say it, my mother would have shot me but I hear it all the time.

Mind you - I get wound up when I hear newsreaders/interviewees talking about how they "crated" something. ie how they created something.

Myself hates 'my little princess'. There's even a shop not too far from here selling clothes for 'Little Princes and Princesses'. Yuk.

All little girls are princesses I don't know about princes.
