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:



snigger...

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).

    • This is a remarkable interpretation of history. Wikipedia (with more footnotes and citations than you could shake a shitty stick at sez: The austerity programme was initiated in 2010 by the Conservative and Liberal Democrat coalition government. In his June 2010 budget speech, Osborne identified two goals. The first was that the structural current budget deficit would be eliminated to "achieve [a] cyclically-adjusted current balance by the end of the rolling, five-year forecast period". The second was that national debt as a percentage of GDP would fall. The government intended to achieve both of its goals through substantial reductions in public expenditure.[21] This was to be achieved by a combination of public spending cuts and tax increases amounting to £110 billion.[26] Between 2010 and 2013, the Coalition government said that it had reduced public spending by £14.3 billion compared with 2009–10.[27] Growth remained low, while unemployment rose. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom_government_austerity_programme From memory, last time around they were against the LTNs and competing with the Tories to pick up backlash votes - both failed. They had no counterproposals or ideas about how to manage congestion or pollution. This time around they're simply silent on the matter: https://www.southwark-libdems.org.uk/your-local-lib-dem-team/goosegreen Also, as we have seen from Mr Barber's comments on the new development on the old Jewsons yard, "leading campaigns to protect the character of East Dulwich and Goose Green" is code for "blocking new housing".

    • Revealing of what, exactly? I resurrected this thread, after a year, to highlight the foolishness of the OP’s op. And how posturing would be sagacity is quickly undermined by events, dear boy, events. The thread is about Mandelson. I knew he was a wrong ‘un all along, we all did; the Epstein shit just proves it. In reality, Kinnock, Blair, Brown, Starmer et all knew as well but accepted it, because they found him useful. As did a large proportion of the 2024 intake of Labour MPs who were personally vetted and approved by Mandelson.
