Harrumph!   While we are discussing aberrant pronunciations of words, spare a thought for non-home counties types trying to do the Guardian crossword.

Friday clue:  Deserve Ashes trophy, did you say?

Answer:  Earn

Sunday clue: Complain audibly, except where drinks are served.

Answer:  Wine Bar

This is unfair to those of us who speak normally For example, those of us who pronounce pork as pawrk!

Anyone else remember those awful car alarms that had a voice warning before the alarm went off? w**k AF

In the Nineties, Securicor (I think) had alarms on their vehicles that would issue a stern ED-209 style warning if people got within a few feet, saying their rent-a-cops were allowed to use force to move them (eh, no they weren't).

Bit of a joke when they parked on the pavement outside a bank and the thing was constantly going off 'til they got back, with no sign of any shoppers getting huckled.

Inane chatter. Just spent the drive in to work with two women in the car talking utter nonsense. Honestly don't know where they get it from. Ranged from tomato plants on a balcony to "snuggling in" instead of going out on Saturday night. Never been more pleased to reach my work.

This morning's mince included how one colleague has started feeding a stray cat and over the weekend it started coming in to her bed with her at night.

Again, this is a STRAY cat. I'm shampooing the seat of my car.

Got 3/4's of the way to bus stop after work and realised I had left my keys in my locker lock. A rapid about turn in the pissing rain. Not amused but all my own fault. Still a pttgoyn though.

I find males equally capable of talking utter shite. Possibly even more than women. 

Probably why I enjoy my own company.
