DG_HMFC Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Not read the full thread but a saying that does my tits in is...'Just about' usually said by BBC Snooker commentators when describing if a player has landed on the next ball. What they should say is 'He's on it' and not 'Just about on it'. I know it's daft but it does my head in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobNox Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 People who sidle up to me at work when I'm clearly having lunch at my desk, then say "I can see you're on your lunch, but..." I usually cut them off at that point and say "you can see I'm on my lunch , but you're going to interrupt me anyway, because whatever you are going to ask me is far too important to wait until I've finished my lunch". That response often elicits a laugh, because the person who is interrupting my lunch is under the false impression that I'm joking. I promptly disabuse them of that notion, then ask about the nature of their enquiry which is so urgent that it must interrupt the partaking of my mid-day comestibles. They usually never bother me again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope they haven't increased my Saltire card charges..... 3% for me which takes my ST to £115 every month. Might just start using the bus instead. Downside is the bus takes an hour to get there.

Bindy Badgy Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 'Chicken or the egg' when referring to a situation where either choice could be true annoys me as the answer is the egg. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_or_the_egg Quote If the question refers to eggs in general, the egg came first. The first amniote egg—that is, a hard-shelled egg that could be laid on land, rather than remaining in water like the eggs of fish or amphibians—appeared around 312 million years ago. In contrast, chickens are domesticated descendants of red junglefowl and probably arose little more than eight thousand years ago, at most. If the question refers to chicken eggs specifically, the answer is still the egg, but the explanation is more complicated. The process by which the chicken arose through the interbreeding and domestication of multiple species of wild jungle fowl is poorly understood, and the point at which this evolving organism became a chicken is a somewhat arbitrary distinction. Whatever criteria one chooses, an animal nearly identical to the modern chicken (i.e., a proto-chicken) laid a fertilized egg that had DNA identical to the modern chicken (due to mutations in the mother's ovum, the father's sperm, or the fertilised zygote). Put more simply by Neil deGrasse Tyson: "Which came first: the chicken or the egg? The egg—laid by a bird that was not a chicken." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bridge of Djoum Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I got into trouble recently for refusing to go on a ''team bonding'' trip with work. If they had phrased it as ''fancy a trip to Virginia with the group for a few beers on the firm'' I may have approved. Also, I'm the only one in my ''team'' I work independently. The rest are merely support for my brilliance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
