Hope it's okay to start the new thread (not sure if mods have to do it).

I posted this right at the end of the last thread so just carrying it over as it has me driven demented.

I have a question on this subject.

I found Anne Hathaways accent very distracting, it was hard to take her in the role. It's a decent movie, but not one for watching more than once.

I have been to Bath for the festival, did the walking tour, and I LOVED it! Go, and stay a few days. I could only get in one day, but I will go back.

I think I'll start a Jane Austen Book Club

We need a Jane Austen thread.

I love that thinly veiled "Get the feck outta this thread' look you have there.

Love you too.

Spanish students. I have now just started pretending they don't exist as I walk through them all. I really don't understand how a swarm like them seem to pick out a location that is in the way and just stand there.

I don't understand how their language works either. They all seem to just constantly talk at each other at max volume with no one seeming to pause to listen or answer questions.

You havn't experinced anything until you've been in a swimming pool with a bunch of Spaninsh kids. Absolute chaos.

But it is such a catchy tune.

The words "oriented" and "extant". I'm aware that they are grammatically valid but to me its always orientated and existant.

We need drovers on the streets when the students come, people with big sticks, that can scelp the legs off them.

When you tell some thick eejit something an entire 12 months ago, and they're too ignorant and thick to listen because they know everything and sure what would I know? I'm only a woman, clearly I wouldn't know what I was talking about with all my hormones and oestrogen getting in the way of having rational thoughts.

Then 12 months later, the ridiculous thing you warned about has happened, is unfixable now because its so late, and ONLY NOW is the thick eejit looking for advice and willing to listen. WHEN IT'S A YEAR TOO LATE.

And god forbid I remind him "this is what I said would happen but you knew everything" because "sure how was he supposed to tell the future".

Love this!
They would know a few interesting phrases by the time they (eventually) go home.

The fact that I'm wishing it would rain so we can have a break from the thud thud thud football on the street. I know I should think it's wonderful, that they are out playing. Go play on the fecking green, that is what t'is there for.
Some were still screeching out on the street last night when darkness had fallen.

The word burglarised!
It just sounds so wrong.
Is the word not burgled?
When a burglar has been, has he not just burgled?
I know if I look up the dictionary I'll get my answer, but I'm afraid to in case I'm wrong

Anyway, I know which one sounds right/ better.

What about the word "quashed"

RTE news always using it, "his case was quashed"

Most likely a real word, but I never bought it

Why are the Gardai always appealing for witnesses? Can they not ask for witnesses, call for or request witnesses to contact them?

I always think it sounds like they meant to say squashed, but chickened out.

People who expect you to read their mind. They're doing some odd job around the house and when they're finished they give out that you didn't help. If you want help, ask for it before or while you do it.

People who are full of talk. You know the "I'd do this, I'd say this" type of person when in reality 50% of what they're saying would get them in serious trouble and the other 50% is empty words. SHUT UP!!!!

Riddle101

Lying in my bed last night at around 2:00am, and a dog starts barking in somebody's back garden. This went on for some time(I fell asleep in the end so I don't know when he stopped). But I just can help but think how inconsiderate some dog owners are that they will leave their dogs out in the night or early hours of the morning, and allow them to bark and disturb other residents from their sleep.

Now i'm not talking about allowing your dog out the back to go toilet and he starts barking. I mean putting your dog out, and leaving him out the back, and then the dogs starts going mad presumably because he wants to go back inside.

I hate cleaning the fridge, it's such a tedious chore. But the engineer is calling to check it tomorrow and I couldn't have him thinking 'Jesus, the state of the fridge, you'd think she'd clean it' Honestly, I really do clean it, from time to time:D

I hate cleaning the fridge. I only do it when the shame reaches epic levels. I'm otherwise very clean though, really.

When someone who has only one or two items thinks they have the right to skip ahead of everyone in the checkout queue.

Okay, they do ask, but most people wouldn't have it in themselves to say no.

I never ask, even in places like Lidl or Aldi as I accept that it's the luck of the draw. On quite a few occasions when I've only one item and the person in front of me has a massive shop, I do appreciate it when they say I can go ahead of them. I do the same if the person behind me only has one or two.

I keep misreading thread titles, so far today I have seen "Sexiest advert" and "Do protestants have jobs?"

WWN tends to have it right, which is surprising seeing as they're taking the piss.

I know, and I think I used up all the BS phrases I know, on this very thread, yesterday.
I worked with someone who used to say and write in emails 'we need to speak to the risks involved in this proposal'. Ugh.

I hated him anyway.

Holy shìt Batman, that's brilliant! :pac:

I think I've found my new "wind 'em up just enough to make them angry enough to channel their anger into their work" phrase
