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.

    • I’m not sure how many other people have experienced this; but both me and one of my friends have the same story. Around Crawthew Grove and Crystal Palace Road: I was followed by a large fox right on my heel. At first I didn’t notice because I had my headphones on, but then I noticed my shadow had an extra lump in it, funnily enough, it was a fox, very very close to my feet. Even if I sped up walking it just tried to get closer - it was quite frightening actually, it was quite clear that it wanted to nip me. I didn’t know what to do so, I started to reprimand the fox and walked slowly away from it, facing it - which it didn’t seem to like and backed off a bit. I then proceeded to speed-walk away.   Quite frankly, the whole situation was quite embarrassing and a little bit frightful as I’d never had a fox even come up to me. I’ve heard of particularly curious foxes that might come up to someone who beckons them, and maybe even bite that person, but I’ve never heard of a fox chasing someone. The amount of confidence that it had was incredible.    When it happened, I was on the way to see some friends, and once I had told one of them, she told me the same thing happened to her.  if anyone else knows anything about this bitey fox then let me know!
    • Another recommendation for Andy. I needed an old kitchen removed as an emergency. Andy came over quickly and did a fantastic job. I have used Andy a few times. He is punctual, helpful and always does an  excellent job.
