I've been thinking ( yes me, oh joy ) this for a while.


Other peoples words & phrases stand out so much sometimes we find ourselves adopting them or they evoke a particular place & person


For example Keef wrote-


and the soundtrack is brill (on the feel good movie thread)


Brill is a great word, so 80's and so ready for a revival. Well done Keef !



My mum used to say "I should co-co" if you pushed your luck a bit too far, where did that come from ?

You're back then. Did Admin run you a Dettol bath after a quick swishing and thwacking?

    • "You have no idea why"   To be fair Sue, it's blindingly obvious to anyone who has a conversation with anyone who isn't a Corbyn supporter. And even some who liked Corbyn (like me initially) found him somewhat flaky even at his most popular But let's say you are right and I have NO idea why anybody might not vote for him. They still didn't vote for him. He lost two elections. The second one badly (and strongly predicted but the stubborn old goat wouldn't budge so we we were stuck with Johnson and another 3 million PMs in the 5 years that followed) So even with ZERO evidence, we have our eyes and ears and brains But we do have evidence   https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/27022-their-own-words-why-voters-abandoned-labour
    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
    • Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.
