I'm gonna add my wee bit here...and firstly may I say I agree with all my compatriots as well, they're just misguided!!
Sometimes I will give you line up clearance and "be ready for immediate when cleared"
What I'm attempting to do is apply the approriate spacing between you and the previous departure who is either slower or on a similar routing as yourself. However there is a landing aircraft boring down the approach, and I'm squeezing every inch out of the sky as possible.
We did have a "controller" once who apparently, in a similar situation, said "take off quickly, fly slowly" I know where he was coming from!
Like Muppit said, come up and see us sometime! (we're usually both on at the same time)
