View From Fleetwood

Heard at the till in John Lewis:

"Are you together?"

"Yes, for forty-five years"

incredible

is a ridiculously over-used word. Often to mean the opposite of what it actually means.

'Famous' should never be used.

If they are famous, you have already heard of them so there is no reason to say it.

If they aren't, why are you using it?

 

[blade.i.am]

Corrected that for you

Like had to like give you a like

 

[MobileBlade]

Only had a quick skim through but I am very confused. Where is the view from Jim Chimmerney or did I miss it?

PS Any recent members don't reply - just for the old timers.

Fuck there's some right miserable cunts on this thread.....

If all most of you have to worry about is being called pal or mate then your life pretty nice indeed.

Couldn't agree more, pal

What about this obsession with answering every fucking question with "yeah" or "yes" before anything else.
I overhear it so much while Mrs BB is watching Eastenders *shudder* before I manage to break out of the room.

"How are you today cockney fuckwit?"
"Yeah, not bad fanks".
Why did you answer "yeah"?. They asked how you were which requires a descriptive answer, they didn't ask "Are you alright?"

Top Gear audience:-
Clarkson - "Who wants to see poncey luvvies lap?"
Audience - "Yeeeeeeeessss". No, not yes you feckin divs. It should be "meeeeee" or "I'm not bothered thanks all the same"

Roy. Net time we play, don't bother doing a view from. Might make these miserable fuckers whine in the twats thread instead.

This is what you get when you have an education system that doesn't care about standards and hands qualifications out as a right, rather than a privilege.

Absolute bollocks, I'm hearing it from all ages.

Sorry got lost somewhere in the middle, pal.......

It was the "View from Fleetwood" that confused me. I thought you had changed your name back.

Wow, this thread is very unique

I hate that - there are no degrees of uniqueness

Something is unique, or it isn't

bae is a danish word for shit...
also means Biggest Arsehole Ever so you could use bae to describe some posters on this forum..

Poor lass.

 

[Maidenhead]

The one that really pisses me off is people who say 'can I get', instead of ' can I have'.
My son says this and I pull him about it every time I hear it. He's my lad and I love him, but when he comes out with 'can I get' I could gladly punch his head
straight off his shoulders.
Others for the list; kinda, gotten, for sure, I guess........the list is getting endless.
And don't ever try to 'high five' me or call me a 'guy', you may end up in hospital and I'll end up doing time!

Yep, I'd love to work behind a bar and say "no you can't, I'll get it for you. That's what I'm paid for"

Yes. I agree "very unique" is certainly otiose. But, on the other hand "close to" or "nearly" unique is academically acceptable. "This may not be the only one of it's kind but it's one of only two or three" would permit the above description, in my view.

A bit like the very latest scores.

and using 'like' as a pause, starting every sentence with 'so'.........

'So' ! " hipster" speak apparently, whatever the fuck a "hipster" is. If I hear anyone on radio or TV answering questions with "so" I have to turn off.

The upward inflection at the end of a sentence is annoying

Personally hate when I'm greeted with " HI guys" when I go to a restaurant

Grumpy old man that I am

Angry of Harrogate ( Elsecar really)
