Guest JTS98 Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 People who use tabloid language in everyday conversation. This happens a lot, but I find especially around things like terrorism. A guy at my work the other day was talking about people being 'gunned down' in terror attacks. Who says that? Similar is when people say a place has been 'struck' or 'hit'. No, it's been attacked. We have a word for that which is not the preserve of Sun headline writers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything other than "attacked by Muslamic ray guns" is wrong IMO. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derry Alli Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 (edited) Reading Andy Robertson love in on Twitter. In amongst the array of Dundee United fans claiming they made him what he is there is a cluster of Celtic fans arguing amongst themselves. Guy 1 : "Why did we let him go? Some players just need more time to develop. I never seen him at Queens Park or Dundee United but surely the coaches at Celtic knew he was good enough to make it?!" Guy 2 : ".. Long winded story about Tommy Burns.." Guy 1 :" I understand that but he was great at Dundee United. Even a blue arsed flea could see that" You literally just said, 4 minutes previous, you never seen him at Dundee United.

UsedToGoToCentralPark Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Which is quite amusing when you consider Audi and BMW owners are the people that drive like complete c***s on the road. Think the cars either side of this were to scared to park close to it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 I doubt they do. Tattoos are so common now that you'd be cutting off a huge potential workforce if you excluded people with them. I work in IT and it's a mix of grizzled geeks and hipster kids and I'm very much in a minority not having a tattoo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highland Capital Posted June 5, 2019 Author Share Posted June 5, 2019 This James English character doesn't seem like the sharpest tool in the box. I hadn't heard of him until recently, but he seems like some sort of ultra-Glaswegian ten pence Joe Rogan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 step son is home for the weekend having split up with his long term girlfriend; is now sat in his pants watching some terry pratchett thing on prime, and discussing it as if it is 'real' as in 'that guy's a level five mage - he'd never be able to cast that spell without (doing some inexplicable made up shite) first, or using (some other inexplicable made up shite) to make sure that the effects didn't cause (some other inexplicable made up shite)' he seems genuinely concerned at the perceived inconsistencies in the intricacies of the plot with regard to this sort of thing, and is seething to take issue with someone who gives a f**k about it he also used to go to 'comicons' dressed up with said former girlfriend enjoy it as fiction, by all means - escapism is great - but know where to draw the fucking line man - you're 25 years old !Any pics of the ex dressed up? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
