Oh dear we're getting into Swiss Toni territory here aren't we. Anyway, buying a car like making love to a beautiful woman...etc etc. She had a lovely chassis actually Lozzy and underneath that bonnet was well oiled engine that put in a high performance....I'll get me coat.
S'funny, I was just looking at the spelling of...that word and realised it could do without the 'c'. Thanks for pointing it out though Honalucheebee, now get your sorry ass into pedants corner with that Lynn Truss and her team of hair-splitting superheroes. Ever get the feeling that the original thrust(ooer) of your thread has been hijacked by a bunch of Finbar Saunders types?

Sorry old thing, but I was merely having some fun, I assumed your original post was made in the spirit of, well, genuine frustration but at the same time humourous intent. I'm quite happy to have my ass in Pedant's Corner (see you neglected to capitalise and missed the apostrophe. Although there are some who would have it as Pedants Corner, or indeed Pedants' Corner) but I don't see why you seem to be having a pop at me. I'm confident that Lynne Trusse wouldn't approve of me any more than you seem to do. And as for Finnbarr Saunders and what he does, I'd best be taking my large purple rooster and putting it somewhere near a cat. That's the best I can do as far as the innuendo is concerned so no fear there.

Regards

Not sure about nobody, but you're a somebody with an opinion.

I'm still puzzled as to what point I incurred your wrath. Was it it the first two posts?

Was it the one about the porches?

Tell me, I'm very keen to know.

Seriously.

Porches? Wow, sorry if you get the feeling that I'm sitting here stewing in a puddle of angry juices, just a bit'o'banter s'all. Apply a cold flannel to your forehead and watch an episode of Heartbeat or something equally soothing. I shall worry you no more. ;-)

Just to head back to the original thread topic in my Asperger-like fashion...


To quote from a Campagnolo (nice cycle parts) enthusiasts' website:


'The Japanese have design with Kaizen. This word means continuous improvement in a product. They take a design and optimize it to the last degree.'


This in the cycle world at least, explains why Shimano are constantly changing their designs and rendering the old ones obsolete/incompatible. Effing annoying if you want that old part to be working years later. The Italians (Campagnolo) are a different matter.


And anyway, where can I get a new top for my Russell Hobbs coffee grinder?

Certainly an element of adolescence in some of these posts - possibly built-in by nature or acquired by nuture, who can tell?


Certainly my chewing gum loses its flavour on the bedpost over night which is bloody outrageous and a damning condemnation of our times.

    • Does anyone know whether any local pharmacies are providing both flu and Covid jabs this year? If so, can you have them at the same time?

    • Fair point. But this is the same Starmer, as I said before, that was seen to be the adult in the room pre-election, following the recent run of chancers, crazies and failures?  I really think the demonisation of him is wrong and it seems to be an epidemic. Johnson got away with things because he was this funny clown.  May was seen to be wooden but didn't attract the same backlash and she facked up Brexit. I saw Corbyn speak as a back bencher and he was excellent.  Didn't make him a great leader.  What would are country have looked like if Brown had got in.  Another person demonised by the media due to his bank manager persona. Yes, I get it, that we lampoon our politicians, based on some of their personal characteristics.  Life was so much more fun during the original series of Spitting Image,  Many politicians loved their send ups.  Some even bought the models/puppets.  Blair was first seen as a little school boy sitting between Prescot in his boiler suit, and Becket perhaps unfairly characterised.  Not sure how they'd send him up as a (alleged) war criminal....  Just concerned that we are now so shallow in considering politics. Anyway, it is not just Starmer, it is his party, in particular his advisors. But perhaps give him a break.
