    I saw "initialise" written today instead of "initiate" e.g. "He didn't initialise the argument". Jesus wept!

    Possibly worth a thread of its own this - "made up words to sound smart" - but Judge Judy at the weekend tore this one off a strip for saying "we conversated".

    I don't care what people think, I'm just going to come out and say it - I love Judge Judy.

    Go fund me campaigns in anything less than extraordinary circumstances. It disgusts me seeing people ask for donations to pay for a funeral, have weight loss surgery or go on holidays. Vile

    Weightloss or holidays no chance but funerals are 10K plus, if its a sudden death it can be hard to pay for.

    People who add the word "boom" at the end of sentences.

    Yes it can - I know, I've buried two. I still think it's crass and vulgar and wouldn't expect anyone else to bury my family.

    My work colleague has now graduated to being called my idiot work colleague. After all her flapping about the cold yesterday and fiddling with the heating, she turned it off before she left the office yesterday evening because "it was too hot" and she "didn't want to burn the place down" so I came in this morning to the office like an actual ICE BOX (the heating is a sort of storage heating system) she arrived in (45 minutes late but that's a whole other TA) and within 2 minutes was complaining about the cold.

    I can't breathe through one of my nostrils. The noises I'm making are reminiscent of an elephants mating call every time I take a deep breath. The whole office hates me.

    Has someone actually stated some facts to her, some indisputable ones;
    You're cold because you spend 5 minutes outside every hour for a cigarette.
    The reason the office is cold because you turned off the heating.
    The heating system is a storage type so takes 4-6 hours to get to work fully.

    Sometimes, straight talking is needed. The longer she's there without somebody saying something, the harder it will be to do so.

    I have literally said those exact words to her. She is an idiot.

    I went out the other day with a jumper on inside out, odd socks and a mark on the trousers.

    I need a nanny.

    TA at my hair. I let it dry naturally last night and woke up with an Afro. It grows out the way instead of down the way. It's naturally wavy but not the wavy I like, so i have to blow dry it and straighten it and then wave it how I like it.

    Every single person I met on the road today was an idiotic driver.

    It's shark week too. *Jaws music*.

    And on to radio related things:

    1) TodayFM's obsession with competitions.......on and on and on.....its never ending.

    2) The sheer amount of news, weather and sports reports. Do we need them every hour when nothing changes? I would be all for them at 9, 12, 3, 6 etc....and if something big happens in between times, it can be breaking news.

    I get peeved listening to the same news, sport and weather every hour, and its often word for word what was read out the previous hour.

    Yeah, if only there was a dedicated News station that only Talked about the news for those who want it non-stop

    Drivers who drive the wrong way down a one way system and beep at pedestrians to get out of the way, eh how about you beeeeeeeep off you arsehole.
    Drivers who buy HUGE cars, which they cannot park between 2 lines nor drive in a straight line, maybe stick to a micra or a yaris instead of a fucking range rover!

    When a song you like ends early on the radio for an ad break

    Answered the door to a delivery dude and came back downstairs to see my zip was down.

    Awesome.

    CF also the cyclist who almost mowed me down outside work, arguing that "I know it's a one way street b1tch but I was on the pavement alright ?"

    Logic, right there!

    I was crossing a busy road at a pedestrian crossing yesterday evening, and waited for the green man before starting to walk.
    Next thing a cyclist started screeching at me to move, and only for the fact that I darted out of the way, he would have hit me.
    I hadn't seen him as he had skirted up along the inside of the cars stopped at the lights and it was dark.
    I don't know why cyclists feel they have this divine right to blow through red lights. It wasn't the first time something like that has happened me either. :rolleyes:

    Stuff like that, crazy overtaking drivers, pedestrians running the gauntlet etc.; you don't get away with it forever.

    That's what keeps my temperature in check whenever I come across them.

    not to mention cycling at night with no lights or reflectors while wearing dark clothes.

    Avoid the T-junction of Dame St/Sth Grest George's Street like the plague.

    Nightmare!

    Yesterday I had one on the footpath cycling behind me start ringing his bell for me to move. It was only when I turned around that I realised what was happening and he flew by me.
    Everytime I shout at them I feel like a nutball but it’s the biggest TA when they’re on the path and act like they have a right to be.

    I'm not clicking that - it's the baby pitbulls isn't it ????

    Got me earlier on FB! I want them all!!!!
