Let's not run before we can walk (= your idea sounds like it may require some effort on my part)

No way, shape or form (tautology; v lazy)

F*ck off (when used to mean 'I find that hard to believe')

Funky (now absolutely meaningless due to overuse by product pushers)



I can see I'm going to enjoy this thread; there hasn't been a complainy one for a while...

Is that the Jeremy, 'I love the sound of my own voice' Clarkson. Yes I can't argue with that Ms B but I'm sure there are many who would vehemently disagree.


Yeah no I was just starting my fourth sentence with yeah no......


We gave it a hundred and ten per cent..........


Getting a pubic hair stuck between my teeth, makes me want to spit.


Hair wrapping around my fingers, whilst swimming with long haired specimens not wearing swimming caps, when they are as cheap as chips.


Those lazy disgusting riff-raff who are too damned idle to shower before entering the pool.


Sorry I digress they are actions not words and phrases.......doh!

Whole other thread you could start there Steve... The Simmering Swimmer, perhaps?

Oh, and 'Have you got a Nectar card?'


No, because I have a horror of receiving direct marketing based on previous buying patterns ('Dear Ms B, this month if you buy 4 boxes of euphemistically named feminine hygiene items, you can get a family pack of Maltesers and a TV guide absolutely free.')

Would the fact that they sponsor 'Loose Women' make it more or less desirable?

Well spotted, now fallen into the hands of the least 'funky' eedjits in the world.

surreal for things that are not surreal, just strange or unexpected.


I thought I was alone on finding it annoying until I saw this, courtesy of buggie, by Adam Hills


The same goes for literally followed by something metaphorical or otherwise non-literal.

    • I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?
    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
    • Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
    • interesting the police said "the car was in demand at the moment" what make/model is that?
