I love to think what anyone walking past hearing the celebrations would have thought. She died on my wedding anniversary, so we've always got that association now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Least the BBC are stuffed from showing too much on the anniversary of old Liz pegging out, by the time the cut out the stuff fronted by Huw Edwards they won't have much more than enough for a 30min One Show special. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordonD Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 3 hours ago, DiegoDiego said: Commentators should be trying the right amount of hard to pronounce people's names. That amount is finding out how they're supposed to be pronounced and then pronouncing them that way. The terrible journalism thread is full of posters slating media folk for not knowing enough about the players. Surely getting their names right should be the starting point. Reminds me of the time the actor Haing S. Ngor won a BAFTA for his appearance in The Killing Fields. It was presented by Julie Walters, who when she opened the envelope admitted she didn't know how to pronounce his name. She got slated in the press, with everybody pointing out that she should damn well have learned how to pronounce it before she went on stage, given that he was on the shortlist even if nobody at that point knew he had won. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We never had an easter bunny, so i don't know the story behind it. I guess it's some country's pagan symbol of spring, but f**k knows what the connection is with the chocolate eggs. Egg shape on the other hand is the optimum shape for chocolate and well worth the 300% price jacking. I'd like to thank Jesus for inventing chocolate eggs. I was informed that a lot of kids get fucking presents for easter these days and not just a chocolate egg. For me that can go on the same fire that "graduations" from primary school (or worse, a nursery) and "proms" for high school kids should be burning in. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I don't go to church on Sunday Don't get on my knees to pray Don't memorize the books of the bible I got my own special way I know Jesus loves me Maybe just a little bit more Fall down on my knees every Sunday At Zerelda Lee's candy store Well, I've got to be a chocolate Jesus Make me feel good inside Got to be a chocolate Jesus Keep me satisfied Well, I don't want no Abba Zabba Don't want no Almond Joy There ain't nothing better Suitable for this boy Well, it's the only thing that can pick me up It's better than a cup of gold See, only a chocolate Jesus Can satisfy my soul When the weather gets rough and it's whiskey in the shade It's best to wrap your savior up in cellophane He flows like the big muddy but that's okay Pour him over ice cream for a nice parfait Well, it's got to be a chocolate Jesus Good enough for me Got to be a chocolate Jesus It's good enough for me Well, it's got to be a chocolate Jesus Make me feel so good inside Got to be a chocolate Jesus Keep me satisfied Edited February 28 by Florentine_Pogen 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Overly fancy and stupid job role descriptions. 'Principal's who aren't even the lead member of their team, with multiple of them.

First time I ever heard of of this was the Mrs saying we have to get her niece a wee Easter present the first year we were together. Never heard an egg being called a present before but there you go. Turns out it was an actual present. 14 years later and it still catches me out every year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presents should be limited to first order relatives at most, and maybe the postie at Christmas. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Senior Line Manager reported to the General Manager, who reported to the Directors. One member of staff was disciplined for calling someone a "useless middle managing p***k". When challenged on this at his disciplinary, he accepted that he should not have used the term, as "the 2nd level of management is not the middle in our structure" 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I think of it, when we were wee we often got a gift instead of an egg from close relatives such as grannies or aunts. Not as expensive as a birthday or Christmas present though.
