First ones I encountered were on the back of envelopes from girlfriends: SWALK sealed with a loving kiss or: NORWICH nickers off ready when I come home, and many more.


According to an episode in the Likely Lads PHILADELPHIA is one, but I never heard the explaination.


Overall they are irritating ruddy things.

Medicine used to be full of them in the days before access to information: In particular, to describe the appearance of someone who might not have any decernable syndrome but who didn't quite look right somehow, from FLK (funny looking kid) to NFN (normal for Norwich). But then the day came when patients were allowed to see their notes, and "the man" said that doctors were just being rude. A sad day indeed...

Cant bear them generally


You know once we were flying in the south pacific and on a small island in the middle of nowhere someone had written S O S in stones, we flew round to take another look at this vandalism & some joker was jumping up & down waving pointing to his work


"Bloody idiot, look at him trying to get our attention " so we pretended we weren't looking and flew off again. If he had the time to do that, then take the time to write something out properly. I really hate acronyms you know.

    • A huge shout-out to Andy! He’s helped us several times now and is an absolute gem. He doesn't just do the easy jobs; he finds solutions to the difficult, non-obvious problems that others might miss. He is very hard working, incredibly friendly, great with pets, and always leaves the place better than he found it. 10/10! 
    • Here to add my voice to those praising Temi. She just painted my dilapidated home office in ED and did a fantastic job in just two days in a much lighter colour, including woodwork, damp blocker and filling holes. She's efficient, on time and I barely heard a peep out of her; she just got on with the job. I recommend her wholeheartedly. 
    • The residents & families of the estate are getting parking fines,  out of the blue , the residents parking system waa changed from Southern to Sippi with cameras put up in the car park and people issued with fines entering the estate for more then 10 minutes , families can no longer pick up or drop off family due to a new 10 minute wait fine. Residents are appealing with Sippi and Southern as there was no letters to consult of a parking change,  new waiting times or fines, delivery drivers are getting fines everyday,  if you get a fine,  appeal it, there is no signage up to say about parking fines or waiting time
    • Threads that devolve like this should be moved to the Lounge, so the 'comedy' can continue in an appropriate vacuum.
