I agree with you about "At this point in time" Bruce.

I also become almost apoplectic when I hear someone reporting conversation saying "And he was like, and she was like" instead of "He said, she said"

"Let's take it on board."

Another thing that annoys me to the point of actually correcting people (very dangerous thing to do!) though it's not a phrase, is people missing the letter 'T' out of the middle of words, as in "Compu'er", par'y". And in the same vein, the number of people who can't pronounce 'th'. Both these two are fine in the context of a proper regional accent, as in the south east of England, but it has now spread to the whole of the country.
