Now where do I begin?Driversthat just have to turn on to the main road in front of you even though you are the last in a very long line of traffic,only to turn off at the next junction.Motorcyclists who roar up the middle of a heavily congested road which is barely wide enough for two lanes of traffic.People who read over my shoulder when I'm reading,writing or typing(that was my son),people/students that just don't listen even when they are looking straight at you,fanatics of any kind,pelican crossings where some nitwit has pressed the button and hopped across without waiting for the lights to change

............

No,I had better not.The list is growing longer each and every day and I'm in danger of apoplexy just thinking about it..

Incog.wondering why we bother teaching needlework in school...no one makes anything at home anymore and judging by the standard of work produced by the majority of the students I can see why.

As you will no doubt have gathered my day was not a good one.

I should probably list in this thread all the parentish things mine used to say to me and which I have no doubt I will soon be saying to him ...

'Because I said so!'
'We'll see...'
'What did your mother say?'
'Ask your mother...'

Nah, that one's dead easy. It was the butler wot done it.

Down with tautologies!

adequate enough
appear on the scene
co-operate together
early beginnings
enclosed herein
final upshot
fresh beginner
hoist up
just recently
mutual co-operation
pair of twins
past history
penetrate into
raze to the ground
recall back
twice over
widow woman
young infant

and many more

As a Nottingham Forest fan I get really hacked off with commentators who call them Notts Forest.

It's Notts County [or Notts Cricket Club] - Don't these so called professionals know anything.
