The totally off-topic thread

Flatmate talked me into a 18km bike ride this afternoon...

Only 18km? Barely worth starting the engine me thinks

 

[JessicaTam]

Why cover up the number plate

I wasn't sure about the propriety of displaying it.

 

[Julesmac]

Which overpaid clown thought of those phrases?

Ha. I can beat you. Some idiot journo in last week's Melbourne 'Hun" referred to a substantial 'uptick' in numbers...when I emailed him (mark me down as a pedantic grammar-loving old fogey) he advised that it was a real word, albeit the dictionary noted it was American English......and therefore he said it could be included in the Australian vernancular. Honestly, the mind boggles. Well mine does.

I hate the new buzz phrase "reaching out". I treat it with the same contempt as the 90's "paradigm shift".

I hate "upping"...

You're flaming well increasing my serve ya mongrel!

 

[Flashback]

It means I've done my time here and it's for good.

 

[amaroo]

I hate "upping"...

I hate any talk that begins with "listen" or "yeah"

 

[Flashback]

And to make the day sound even better, my wife has left me ... so .... in all fairness, I probably deserved it

Speaking of which, need to find somewhere to live in London quick smart.

 

[drron]

Well sorry to see you go Flash.
Hope life treats you well for the future.
Maybe down the track hopefully a change of mind.

Ps-didn't see that next post.Very sorry to hear that.
Hopefully time will heal the wounds.

There are lots of words used today that I didn't think existed.

Times are changing.

Champagne is chilled and waiting...

I'm really sorry to hear. Maybe take a break from here and come back when you feel ready.

It was good too

Yes it was. Lucky there is more.

Yes it was. Lucky there is more.

There most certainly is

That's not good at all.

Hope things work out.
