    I said it just makes them sound pretentious and totally unnecessary, but for some reason all of a sudden everyone is obsessed with things that sound middle class, that actually aren't - like a ham and cheese sandwich ffs.
    Smashed potato.
    Clear lemonade served over crushed ice accompanied with a wedge of fresh lemon.

    You can play a game when watching any reality tv programme, but especially The Apprentice, guessing how many times the word "passion" or "passionate" is used.

    Yeah, shampoo is right up there in terms of completely fabricated marketing wank. Just had a quick look on Google and found these in 12 seconds

    (Oh and EVERYTHING is 'New Advanced Formula' - the original shampoos must've been absolute shite!)

    * Pro V formula
    * Ceramide
    * 100% natural Argan oil
    * Elvive UV filter
    * Sulphate Free Fortifying System

    Mind you, men's razors are not far behind. I'm waiting for the day when we'll see a razor with 14 blades on it, for the closest shave a man can get, or some other such bollox.
