I shudder at your lack of perspective.

That is an odd thing to say. I mean - isn't perspective subjective? If it is then he has perspective...it's just not the same as yours. Probably millions with a different perspective from yours. That's a big shudder. *shudders*

Not at all odd.

perspective
2.1(mass noun)True understanding of the relative importance of things; a sense of proportion.
‘we must keep a sense of perspective about what he's done’
‘though these figures shock, they need to be put into perspective’

edit: Misread part of your post - I seem to have subjunctive on the brain.

Fantastically thick people who go on quiz shows annoy me intensely.

There was a chap on the BBC lottery quiz tonight who answered thus -

Q. In what sea is the Isle of Man?
A. Pacific.

Q. How many sides has a rectangle
A. 6

Q. what continent is the Amazon in?
A. Africa

Q. In California, the golden gate bridge links Marin county to what city
A. New York


And that's apart from the half a dozen 'Passes' he made when I don't think that he even understood the question, that honestly wouldn't task an 8 yr old.


And the family still walked away with something like 7 grand and two weeks in Thailand.

Offering hope to all the thick sts out there is the only way the BBC has of getting them to switch over from Idiot wker Idol on ITV

No they don't. They mean what they say. It's a reference to the contrary of when other businesses are usually closed.

So, 24 hours a day - because most businesses are only open 8 or 9.
7 days a week - because most businesses only open 5 or 6 days.
And 365 days a year, because most close on Christmas Day, New Year's Day etc.

No, the first one is correct.

24 hours a DAY, seven days a WEEK, 52 weeks a YEAR. Why would you say 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, why not just 24 hours a day, 365 days a year?

Hasn't that just been explained?

Someone mildy swearing "pissed off" and the TV announcer having to go through the "I apologise if anyone was offended by the language used" rubbish. If they had said , st or fk perhaps, but pissed? It's not even a censored word on here.

Well it has now. The assertion that it should be 24/7/52 rather than 24/7/365 was challenged as being incorrect. My post was to explain why I agreed with the OP rather than the challenger.

I agree that 24/365 or 24/7/52 would make more sense but, at the end of the day, however it is written the intent is clear.

I don't see that the /52 or /356 is required at all. /365 annoys me because the /7/ is part of the /365, but if the business is open 24/7 then the next number is superfluous whatever it is.

Plenty of businesses are open 24/7 but not 365. Or are you the kind of pedant who would deny them the 24/7 moniker because they're closed on Christmas Day?

No, because the sequence is hours, days then weeks per year, not hours, days then days. The 365 bit doesn't make sense because you've already stipulated how many days per week, surely the next part of the sequence would be weeks per year rather than days per week then days per year.

How about, 'Open all the time' or is that too simple.

It has nothing to do with a chronological sequence. As I explained earlier, it was derived as a business/service differentiator and makes perfect sense in that context.

No it doesn't, and it certainly does annoy me beyond reason so it quite adequately fits the criterion for inclusion in this thread.

So now to unlock the iPad screen you now have to press the home button rather than swipe the screen.
I wonder how much quicker the home buttons will break now so that you have to buy a new iPad?

Pink - Just Like a Pill :

I'm lyin' here on the floor where you left me
I think I took too much
I'm crying here, what have you done?
I thought it would be fun

I can't stay on your life support, there's a shortage in the switch
I can't stay on your morphine, 'cause it's making me itch
I said I tried to call the nurse again but she's being a little <silence>
I think I'll get outta here, where I can

Run just as fast as I can
To the middle of nowhere
To the middle of my frustrated fears
And I swear you're just like a pill
'Stead of makin' me better, you keep makin' me ill
You keep makin' me ill

etc.

Just play the tune as it was written ffs
