'you' instead of 'your' in sentences. Is it just me? Is this just a popular error or am I missing something?


I actually attempted to research this online. Maybe I'm an idiot - I just don't get it.

Someone please educate me (if you understand what I'm talking about).


This does cause me irrational rage.

housemates that don't take the rubbish out. or the recycle. or the food waste.

then it piles up....and up...and up...and you think it can't possibly get any higher....and then they leave the lid open.

and guess what. then i give in and take it out.

but each time i wait, just in case someone else might decide take it out.

but it hasn't happened yet >:(

Hundreds of multi coloured big plastic bins all over the place getting in the way of walking, driving,blocking gates,steps smelling overloaded, and too many bin cart wagons blocking roads and making noise everywhere.

Some plastic company has got a tasty contract with Southwark council.

That used to drive me mad as well, until I realised that if they said "the next station" only, it didn't mean the train would be stopping there, and if they said "the next stop" only, it could be a stop at a signal.


So it does actually make sense to say "station stop", even if it's irritating :)

When you join several other people waiting for the green man at a zebra crossing, after a while think 'this is taking a bl**dy age' and then realise that none of the people who got there before you have pressed the button.

    • We've been getting almost regular deliveries to the Gardens/ Kelmore grove again. It was awful at one point 6 months back. I suppose it's hit and miss depending on where you are. Our sorting office is Peckham.
    • Light blue kid's coat found on Goodrich Road. 
    • Yup. At best I have people who detest Trump shrugging and saying something like “what ya gonna do?” Like that is any kind of answer what we gonna do is condemn, and watch out for same happening here - and watch out for all the handmaidens who would allow this to happen.  Apologists for Farage, Jenrick etc 
    • There are plenty of Jewish people on these marches, who have every right to stand up and say not in our name. A Jewish bloc attends every single one: https://jfjfp.com/voices/jjp-at-the-gaza-demonstrations/ Jewish peoples lives are being made less safe by this war, as we recently saw in Manchester and in the clear increase in antisemitism. They want to see Peace, and this will only happen with justice for the Palestinians. Most have - within living memory - members of their families who have been murdered by an authoritarian regime. They know what they are seeing and why they are marching. Calling going on march 'indulging in Jew hatred' is just ridiculous. You've clearly never been on one. Engage your critical faculties and think about why these marches are being smeared, rather than spouting what the right wing press and home secretary tell you.
