Bit lonely down in the pit?

 

[birthofanorange]

'Global Britain is booming'.

A nonsense spouted by the terminally nonsensical.

(Also, any 3-word slogan that Johnson & cronies put out there, and is repeated ad nauseum by the gullible.)

 

[macbeth]

Probably already mentioned but

"learn and take the positives"

 

[dejavuatbtn]

Don’t let me moan.

 

[birthofanorange]

"Defund the BBC" is another - just a mantra for the deluded.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

"Defund". A word used generally by tossers.

"Defund the BBC" is another - just a mantra for the deluded.

Agreed.

 

[Hamilton]

When people mangle tenses to predict what they believe may have happened had circumstances had been different, in the mistaken belief that it makes them sound like they are a tv or radio master-pundit, rather than a knob.

"If that shot hadn't been deflected, the keeper is saving that."
"If he hadn't had a time penalty, Hamilton is winning that race."

etc etc.

I bloody would have won it too!

“We’re happy with the options we’ve got” - when said about 24 hrs before the closure of the transfer window

 

[Lindfield by the Pond]

I hate the fairly recently coined phrase "out of an abundance of caution". Seems to be cropping up everywhere at the moment.

 

[HalfaSeatOn]

‘Work family’. No, my family are at home. I just do tasks with you and get paid

 

[BN9 BHA]

FFS who makes up this shite?

 

[Eddiespearritt]

With the greatest respect to clubs like Brighton.......

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Staycation

It's only a game

Stakeholders

****ing reaching out

 

[maltaseagull]

I am sure it's been mentioned before but I cannot be bothered to check 11 pages just in case.

Can I get?

There was a British girl at the next table at a local restaurant yesterday.

Can I get a coke?

Can I get an ashtray?

Yes, go and get them yourself!!
My wife has banned me from correcting them when the grandchildren come over

 

[Braggfan]

"Do you eat fish?"

No, I'm a vegetarian. I've just told you that.

The other question that is annoying as hell,
"Don't you miss bacon?"
"No 'cause I'm a f***ing vegetarian!"

 

[peterward]

"we've got lots of great options in attacking areas, I'm happy with the balance of the squad"

 

[The Clamp]

“One of the first…”

No. It’s either the first or it’s not.

It has been mentioned more than once, I believe. Getting upset over the meaning of get always seems odd to me, given the delexicalised nature of the word. Claiming it simply means fetch is just silly.

Get over it

 

[The Optimist]

"Oliver, we all love you very much. We'll always be here for you, no matter what. Happy second birthday."

When adults use their Facebook wall to talk saccharin-covered shite to their non-reading-age children, who also don't have access to Facebook.

Makes me do little bits of sick in my mouth.

Vile.

Oh, and 'guys'. **** off.

Agree with this. And I also feel similar (although not quite as harshly) about people who post messages to dead people.
