I've noticed that our Jack in interviews always ends his sentences with 'so'.

So what?

I'll tell you what, I've started to finish his sentences for him.

I'll give you an example......

Stoke were probably the better team in the first half, but we grew into it and probably had the better of the second half, so.......

shove that up your arse Paul Lambert.

Its a southern thing. Could be worse, he could be starting a sentence with 'so'

So! Drives me bloody mad! Only beaten into second place by "like".........

Know what you mean, you know.

They're vocal mannerisms.

Once you're conscious you're doing it, then it becomes easier to stop.

Remember Graham Gooch saying tremendous about 200 times in an interview once.

Used to work at the same place as a guy who said "tremendous" so much that he became known as "Tony Tremendous". The nickname always made me think of a 70s working men's club turn!

All the umms and aaarrrghhhsssss.

I can understand if you have memory problems but most people are capable of thinking quietly.

I dont give a monkeys how he ends or indeed starts interviews, he can speak Serbo-Croat
for all i care as long he keeps on doing what he's doing.

Lad I work with kept saying 'basically' during conversations.
During one of his phone conversations I sat next to him and marked a bit of paper everytime he said basically.
He could see me doing it, but still managed to say it about a dozen times in just one 15min phone call.

He's stopped saying it as much now

I once used to work with a guy called Basically Mick!

For me. For me. For me. Every opinion has to include 'for me'. It's become law.

I once worked at a place where there was a Stephen Arwell (as in ah, well)

not for me, clive.

I hate it when you're talking to someone who keeps saying 'obviously', especially when whatever they're babbling on about isn't actually that obvious.

Absolutely!

On last night's MOTD2 Kevin Kilbane said 'clearly' about five times in 20 seconds.

Shearer has a habit of saying 'And rightly so'. Once you've noticed these verbal ticks, it's impossible to listen to anything else they're saying. And rightly so.

So long as they deliver on the pitch they can spend the whole of an interview farting into the microphone as far as Im concerned. If they can space them out to leave room for questions, even better.

Actually, so is used all the time to finish a sentence in Co.Cork so there, so.

As is bye,bye,bye bye,bye,bye on the phone until in the end you just hang up, so.

Exactly. The new annoying trend.

Amazing has to be the most over used word in the media these days. Everything seems to be amazing and it's amazing how many are so easily amazed.

Sean Dyche will have picked up on it of course.
