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! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superwell87 Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 (edited) 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.

Probably why I enjoy my own company. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacksgranda Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 People whose voice goes up at the end of sentences? As if they're asking a question? Really annoying? Just been listening to someone on Radio Ulster going on like a 5 year old asking questions. Coupled with a south eastern England accent that could have done with a translation. I've probably been over here too long... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
