Local people on local roads with a sat nav stuck to their window - do they expect to get lost travelling from the shop/work/family to their own home?

Are you sure they are not dashcams? You never know when some idiot is going to pull out straight in front of you from a side road these days.

What on Earth do you mean? People have been doing that since the car was invented.

Sorry there's no 'WHOOSH!' left in it for you...



Consider it to be the equivalent of a Duke of Edinburgh Award.

Parrot for you I think. I was being ironic but never mind.

A bit OT here, but I always thought that Bose was supposed to be the Rolls-Royce of speakers, although I don’t have any.

Then you thought wrong.

Their noise cancelling headphones are still well regarded, though.

If the "O" in Bose had an umlaut. It would be the German word for "evil".

She doesn’t do forums or social media. However, why should she need to post anything at all if I’m simply recounting a story in which she was a party to?

Can I vote for most written sentences ending in a two letter word ?

What is this new buzzword "melt" that is appearing everywhere? I've counted it in various forum posts on here 8 times over the past week. Is it the latest cool word for the kids?

It annoys me beyond reason that whenever there's one of those 'Best Places To Live In The UK Revealed' type articles in a newspaper or on the telly they always place emphasis on having theatres nearby. Most of my friends and acquaintances are highly educated metropolitan types, yet I cannot remember the last time any of them mentioned about going to the theatre. Hardly anybody in the real world seems to give a toss yet it is always brought up.

Buzzword that the 'lads' use.

The PHer Director buzzword of late is snowflake.

Melt is an old term - popular in the 1960s (possibly before, dunno - "are you a man or a melt?"

Some hipster probably heard his gran say it when he visited her.

Definitely made a comeback though. It's the type of thing I expect wannabe Danny Dyer types to say just before disappearing to the toilet of their local 'Spoons to do a 'cheeky' line of 'chang' before going out and nailing some 'brasses'.
