It's very much a phrase you hear south of Hadrian's Wall. What the fuck does it even mean? What is a shithouse? It's not even a thing. They also call shite or average players 'B-Tech.....' then a good player. 'He's a B-Tech Ronaldo.' He's a B-Tech Bellingham'. Fuck off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUcal Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 (edited) 3 hours ago, Hedgecutter said: The widespread lack of critical reading/listening skills, a prime current example being the interpretation of that Lineker quote. Folk on Jeremy Vine this morning solidly behind Braverman, thinking that Lineker is directly comparing the UK with Nazi Germany. More commonly: "you're acting like a moron" "You calling me a moron?" "No I didn't " "Yes you did. You called me a moron" Aye, this. See it all the time now. This was a prime example for me of just not understanding what was said and going straight to crazy gammon outrage. From a couple of years ago. "I think every racist and anti-Semite pretty much probably voted for Brexit" Cue rage. - "I'm offended" .....I think you should apologise" "To who? The racists and anti-Semites?"

BFTD Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Belief in astrology in general, obviously, but crediting a fortune teller for advising millions of lottery gamblers to "check your lottery ticket" is a bit special. Presumably she wouldn't have bothered and lost out on the money otherwise. Quote A previous Lotto roll-over winner credited Mystic Meg with prompting her to check her ticket after she had hidden it in a biscuit tin next to her bed. After mother-of-four Mary Jones from Gwynedd, North Wales, won £9.3 million in 2004 she said: "I read Mystic Meg in The Sun and it said don't forget to check your lottery ticket. I couldn't believe it when I realised it had come true." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-64900348 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soapy FFC Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 9 hours ago, philpy said: People who can't pronounce the names of shops properly. "Asda's", "Tesco's", "Lidl's", "Aldi's", B&M's". No you morons, none of the shops have an "s" at the end, so fucking stop it. There's a wee village along the road called "whitecraig", and people will sometimes refer to it as "whitecraigs" I assume it’s people saying who owns the shop that is being talked about, as in Her: “what shop are you going to?” Him: “Asda’s (shop).” The fact you’ve used the possessive apostrophe confirms that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the topic of apologies, when people say " I apologise " when they've done something wrong. When did folk stop saying "I'm sorry "? Saying "I apologise" especially when followed with "if you're offended/hurt" is a non apology. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
