Two things to do with desserts in restaurants which piss me off.

1. The "Oh go on, live a little!" look from waiter when waiting to be told whether or not you are having dessert.

2. When there are two of you, and only one orders dessert, the waiter saying "Shall i bring two spoons?" with a conspiratorial look.

When they look at the size of me they know not to bother asking the spoon question.

A waiter comment that grates with me is to be served with the word "enjoy".  Do you mean " I hope you enjoy that"?  To which the legitimate reply might be "is there any reason why I should not?"

Doesn't anybody know why Steve Clarke's appointment has not been confirmed yet. What's the hold up?

It pisses me off when we order 2 desserts and the waiter doesn't stop to ask what I want.

Surely as it now costs to have a bag its a fair question !?

Then the 'today' is superfluous.

That's the bit that gets me. There's an implication that I may be stupid enough to stuff my pockets with a week's shopping and then come back for the bag tomorrow when my hands are free.

I've don't remember De Goey at all for some reason but he was Chelsea number one before Cudicini while RDM was there evidently.

The Dutch Steve Ogrizovic. A beautiful, beautiful man.

Whenever I think of Steve Ogrizovic - and I'll be honest, it's not often - I recall throwing snowballs at him.

I suppose not as low as cleaning pools in Lanzarote.

He's the one who looks like a depressive porn star
