Not ok They're clearly older cars as most modern cars return the wipers to 'base' when you park. Why would this bother you, though? I'm determined to deal with the mushrooming of the unnecessary 'pre' though as it's blighting our lives - see my comments earlier re 'pre-sliced' and 'pre-cooked' eg. I was in London yesterday and asked how we'd deal with possible objections to our proposal. A guy I work with said, "I have some pre-prepared replies". Jesus f**k!

Whilst we're on the subject, "pre-drinks" is an awful phrase (see also; "pres") but it seems to be the only phrase that people nowadays understand when referring to having a few drinks in someone's house before heading out. I've even said to folk "have a few drinks in place X first" to which they've replied "aye, then where will we go for pres?" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've even said to folk "have a few drinks in place X first" to which they've replied "aye, then where will we go for pres?" I've found that this word has died out as I've gotten older. Totally forgot about it until you said it, it is indeed a very annoying word and I've been guilty of saying it myself on many occasions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're clearly of different generations but 'prees' would annoy the f**k out of me. My big girl and her pals are happy to preen and primp and have a bevvy at my place before they go out but would never use that word. That being said one of her pals is a smoker and calls it a 'gret' as in "Is your dad ok if I have a 'gret'" You're welcome to smoke but please try and speak English. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Sanchez Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 The advert for the six nations rugby doing the rounds on the BBC. My PT isn't that rugby exists, or that people who think it's worthwhile exist, nor even is it the fact that in this advert citizens of those six nations list off things people from their nation have achieved and we get haggis, kilts and bagpipes among others. The Irish burd who says "we built the Titanic" takes the prize here. I'm not even sure if it actually is getting on my nerves or if I'm too incredulous every time I hear it. Either way, rugby's shite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that that ever happened before My (current) PT is P&Bers who dislike egg-chasing. An absolutely brilliant sport for we larger blokes with a foot like a threepenny bit. Oh, and Scotland is pretty good at it at the moment. I'll be glued to the telly on Saturday with a few friends shouting for Scotland... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
