Unnecessary words

[ed_pete]

I'm eating a tree ripened apple from M&S. Are there people out there that were unaware that apples grow on trees or is there an alternative method of ripening that I'm unaware of ?

[womanofdulwich]

I think they can be picked unripe and left to ripen elsewhere- and that the tree ripened ones taste better.

Pan fried is my favourite- what else do you fry in?

fruit stuck in a drawer continues to ripen

Would you use a hospital that wasn't 'patient centred' or a school that wasn't 'student centred?'

Here's something taken from Reuters was that was printed in today's Guardian and Telegraph.

I cannot fathom why it was necessary to use the word 'contiguous' (next in order of landmass to Australia?)

"...Australia is one of the world's most ideal places for solar projects. It has the highest average solar radiation per square metre of any continent in the world, according to government, and a population the size of New Delhi spread over an area the size of the contiguous United States..."

I always understood that "contiguous US" refers to all the US states except Alaska, Hawaii and overseas territories. You see it in a lot of US legal docs.

[silverfox]

Oh, that would make sense Siduhe - a similar landmass to the US excluding Alaska etc

the " honest" truth..

[grecian girl]

[silverfox]

All this stuff used to enrage my father. I am a victim of my genes

"oh"7.00 when telling the time or "oh"2"oh"8 when giving a telephone number. "oh" is a letter and Zero is a number - plase use properly. I'm sure steveo's father would agree.

I blame bloody Glenn Miller - "Pennsylvania six five oh-oh-oh!"

Not to mention those long haired Liverpudlian layabouts - "My baby says she's travelling on the one after nine-oh-nine"

As for the bands I saw down the one zero one club...

Actually, like, literally.

At the end of the day, yeh! but no but yeh!, if you look at it from where I am standing, why dont you listen to what I am saying, yeh but no but yeh, it makes sense dont it.
