    I was thinking about a rogue door to door tradesman who offered to do some really cheap work or something...and he eluded the security camera...and all the neighbors were out and could not have seen him...

    Go out, make sure everyone else is home before you and then shout “what happened?” when you return.
    Never admit the truth :D

    An otherwise very articulate young woman was on the radio a minute ago and every time she said "I seen" and "We seen" I died a bit for her. Would some kind person gently correct her so she doesn't let herself down in public like this again.

    Having an ongoing argument with my four year old grandson about "I done". He insists I'm wrong when I correct him. We have kind of compromised by using "I have done" Seems "I did" is now regarded as incorrect among his peers.

    Eg. "Your to young and are been a fool, you should of said it it the other way" ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Brain explodes.
    All very basic English that's taught (not thought) in 3rd class.
    When I see these used incorrectly I do have to read the sentence a couple of times to try and decypher it.

    On the Garda twitter page whoever does it sometimes licence is spelled (not spelt) license....... not too big an issue you may think, BUT if it was spelled that way on the actual document, it would be a fake.

    When southern Europeans can get it right there is no excuse for "native English speakers".

    Perhaps its the English living over here are to blame ( great excuse for a couple of YT clips from Lerner and Loewe :) )





    ( It does bring home to me just how offensive I must sound when fluffing Spanish & Italian verbs :o )

    My shower / shave routine is as follows:
    Monday - shower
    Tuesday - shave and shower
    Wednesday - shower
    Thursday - shave and shower
    Friday - shower
    Saturday - shower
    Sunday - shave and shower

    I get up at 6am Monday to Friday to go to work. Two shaves in five days means less of a rush those other three mornings.

    This morning I showered but forgot to shave. Now the whole routime is disrupted.

    I'm sure I've said it before, but use of the word "female" as a noun. Drives me mental. We're women, not females.
    Even worse is non trans people who want to feel special so announce they are non binary gender fluid and demand special pronouns. Away and sh!te :rolleyes:

    Those newly added voice-overs to old movies to fill in the periods of silence.
    Jeez drives me nuts!
    i.e.
    "A middle aged man walks through the foggy street" etc.
    (I can see all that for myself FFS)

    And people who talk with their hands!
    Why do they do this?

    Let herself down in public? The majority of the Irish public are just as bad as her. Most won't have even noticed she's said anything wrong.
