To be fair, the irk thread has only been around for less than a fortnight, give it a chance.


BTW (personal Q, sorry), do you ever think about updating your user name? You must be practically part of the establishment by now, surely?

No, I want to strangle it at birth :-)

It's a Neil Young thing...

Looks like she's never coming back to me."


Now back to your normal programming :-)

I call it The Great British Jerk Off. Tho' Strictly Come Dancing is much more irritating.


If you'd told me twenty years ago that two of the biggest TV shows in 2014 were devoted to baking and ballroom dancing, I would have thought that you were winding me up.

He ain't in this house sunshine.

Tell yet Mom to get off her effing mobile and start walking. Somewhere else. With you and your stupid pink scooter.

No wonder there are kids who don't even know their own name and who haven't been potty trained by the time that they start attending school. Cos their muvvers are on the bleedin' phone the whole time and don't speak to them

Yeah, when it's like that fair do's maybe (and they get like that by the fingerers in the first place). Mostly though the top ones fine, they still want the one that's below. Sometimes even 2 or 3 below. Think it's more likely KKs reasoning.

Sorry, but how has "bored" changed from being a past participle to an adjective, and even if it had changed in this way, why should "with" be replaced by "of"? I thought that in both phrases "bored" would be regarded as a participial adjective. Perhaps someone could explain this to me.


I know that I'm going to have to put up with it; that doesn't mean to say that I can't deplore it. I reckon that is it just another example of Americanisation.

    • David Attenborough has also done programmes on this amazing relationship.  This is from 2010 but I am sure that there were more recent programmes on the Beeb https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p006ry61 Mummy trees are amazing.  
    • Have you considered PIV - positive input ventilation. We retro fitted a Soler & Palau super quiet in-line fan system. This takes cool air from the outside ans is ducted into the loft. It is really quiet and very efficient. It is controlled by a reverse thermostat ie one which shuts the system off when the temperature drops to a set level. We are very pleased with it especially as it costs a fraction of a/c and provides greater flexibility in terms of location of vents and ducting.
    • If you’re into nature or just love trees, this lovely program is worth catching up on https://www.channel5.com/show/the-secret-life-of-trees It’s one of those quietly fascinating watches that leave you thinking about the world a bit differently. I had no idea that trees are connected underground by fungal networks. They use them to share nutrients, water, and even to send signals to each other. They can recognise their kind and give more support to their “relatives” than to other trees nearby. They can also remember things like droughts or pest attacks and change how they respond in the future. No wonder so many cultures and spiritual traditions view trees as sacred. In some belief systems, cutting one down is thought to carry serious karmic consequences. When you learn about how they live, communicate, and support one another, it makes sense. The natural world is far more aware and interconnected than we tend to realise.
    • I installed an all-in-one air conditioning unit at my holiday home since I wasn’t allowed to have an external fan unit outside. It actually works just as well, was easier to fit, and although it’s slightly noisier, it’s a good solution overall. https://www.orionairsales.co.uk/all-in-one-air-conditioning-142-c.asp?srsltid=AfmBOopZSVZj1_utAO-Hr4m5M323nRZru6Zmf1YuT4KP2touJ2OLaruU
