I remember reading a book by David Niven some years back, recounting his days in Hollywod during it's heyday. He recounted a powerful movie mogul who came from eastern europe ( I think) and had a particularly heavy accent. He was often ridiculed by the stars of the day because of this and had a particularly short fuse. One one accasion, Niven recounts, the guy in question rounded on those mocking him and said " You think I know f**k nothing!!! Let me tell you I know f**k all!!!!!!!!!!!"
jacks09 - the US band Devil Driver had 'I could (f-ing) care less' as a slogan on a T shirt. It means that one actually cares to the max as there is scope for one to care less- and I couldn't care less means you do not care at all......Someone I know who really does give a damn wears the T shirt frequently

Surprising how often you hear that one. I confess I sometimes say brightly, 'So they were talking slowly then?'

    • It's not entitlement FFS. We're paying the council more than £2k a year in tax. It's not too much to expect them to clean the streets and drains of leaves and dog shit for all that money, as well empty one bin once a fortnight.  The streets round here are a disgrace. The council are paid to make them not so. If they can't do it they should say so and stop charging money for the non-service.
    • The Post Office no longer runs the Lordship Lane PO either.  That slipped through under the radar!  Below is an extract from a letter from the PO to me in response to my query about long queues.  Shame the PO didn't say who the new owner actually is.  Does anyone know?   Whilst this branch was a 'Crown' office, this has now been franchised. Services at this location are now operated by an independent Postmaster. They're responsible for all aspects of the day-to-day running of the branch, and is the employer of the members of staff who work in the branch.   
    • Leaves falling throughout autumn and winter is just nature doing its thing. My bugbear is manmade rubbish strewn all over the floor after bin day. I go out and gather up leaves in my own area. Those with a garden put them in a bag and leave. They make lovely compost.
    • Shouting Out For England is an original England football song to be sung by children from East Dulwich primary schools, with all proceeds going to Football Beyond Borders - a UK charity that works with young people from areas of socio-economic disadvantage who are passionate about football but disengaged at school. We’re aiming to get to NUMBER 1 on the week of the start of the World Cup in June! To professionally record and release the song we’re looking to raise  £3,750. Any amount will help, but £50 + sponsors receive: a name or logo credit on the digital release sleeve (Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, YouTube etc.) mention on the project website and social posts You can donate at https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/shoutingout - where you can also hear a short demo clip of the song. We hope you can take part, but if not, it would be great if you could forward to anyone you think might be interested!   Shouting Out For England https://shoutingoutforengland.com
