It's not always what it seems. My dad was in a wheelchair and we had a blue badge for him. We had parked the car and gone into a shopping centre, but came out a different door. So, I left dad with mum, and walked back around and moved the car to the new door, parked in the disabled bay (as we are allowed) and went inside to fetch him. Halfway across the footpath I suddenly figured, "if anyone is watching this..."

I actually experienced this last night... the look the woman gave me when politely (I know, I try!) asked to move her bag... and all I could think about was this thread the rest of the way home!


I that two or three rages there?


No wonder why I don't like people! :-|

That drives me nuts too Jah.


Don't know why so many British people were using 'mom' on mother's day either, spotted a particularly nauseating example on a friend's Facebook timeline (by his sister, not him). They are from Birmingham, not the one in Alabama.

People using Americanisms doesn't bother me in the slightest - language is cross-pollinating all the time. Americans use brit phrases too


there was never a time when language was "nailed down" and that's the version we should be using - that way lies madness!


All part of the give and take

I'm aware of that, having a non visual disability myself, and working in the field for the last 12 years.


BUT


I'm 99.9999% sure the woman that did it yesterday was just a lazy cow, and I'm 100% certain that all the people that do it don't have disabilities.

"drives me nuts"


An early example of this phrase can be seen written in The Bilioxi Daily Herald, a newspaper printed in 1884. The idiom is written under an advice column, where people could write in asking a woman named Ann Landers for advice:

I quite like it - typically Aussie and often used when someone is late and doesn't care (ime) as in "when did you rock up?"


Reminds me of another Aussie saying I like - "Rack off!" (I think I got that from Joe Mangel).

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      By David Peckham · Posted

      There was an excellent discussion on Newscast last night between the BBC Political Editor, the director of the IFS and the director of More In Common - all highly intelligent people with no party political agenda and far more across their briefs than any minister I've seen in years. The consensus was that Labour are so unpopular and untrusted by the electorate already, as are the Conservatives, that breaking the manifesto pledge on income tax wouldn't drive their approval ratings any lower, so they should, and I quote, 'Roll The Dice', hope for the best and see where we are in a couple of years time. As a strategy, i don't know whether I find that quite worrying or just an honest appraisal of what most governments actually do in practice.

      They are a third of the way through their term Earl. It's no good blaming other people anymore. They only have three years left to fix what is now their own mess. And its not just lies in the manifesto. There were lies at the last budget too, when they said that was it, they weren't coming back for more tax and more borrowing. They'd already blamed the increase in NIC taxes on what they claimed was a thorough investigation. They either knew everything then or they lied about that too .   They need to stop lying and start behaving. If they don't the next government won't be theirs, it will be led by Nigel Farage.  They have to turn it round rapidly. Blaming other people, telling lies and breaking promises isn't going to cut it any more.
