'Mega'

And when newspapers report on a 'giant' spider/snake etc
It's just a big breed of spider, or an old snake, it's not a bl**dy giant :-|

Just because 'they're' trying to make technology smaller, it doesn't follow that nature does the same thing.

BTW, this is being typed on a 'giant' (ie tower) computer. I have a laptop, and a small tablet, but prefer old Maisie.

Wend, many years ago when my eldest was a baby I met another new mum and invited her in for coffee one morning. As she left she said " see you later", a phrase I had never heard before instead of goodbye. I spent the whole afternoon wondering when she was going to turn up. What an innocent I was in those days!!!

Our son in law peppers each sentence with " like ". It drives us mad. :-S

M.

FYI................

I've got a headache! :-(

I find it it irritating when I see the word "stunning" it's so overused.

Also on FB I notice so many people(usually women) continuously say "I love/adore my kids/ children " I am sure they do, but why do they need to keep telling everyone?

I don't hear that very often Mayfield ;-) :-D

Lucky lad! :-D

We have a chatterbox at our workplace who talks in statements, her most used phrase (said with an air of superiority) is......well,.the bottom line is......

"For free" really annoys me. It is either " free", or it is "for nothing". Bob

Lush!

I keep thinking they are talking about a drunk!

:-D :-D :-D

Like being used extra grammatically and people who say X will be with you momentarily. I feel like saying really the meeting will be that quick.

Ooh, Paula, I do so agree with you on that one. One (young!) friend (of a friend) of mine puts pics of her 3-yr old daughter on FB every day, with comments such as 'Isn't she lovely', 'my gorgeous Flo***e, etc. and then puts a photo of her sitting on a bench with her legs open, saying how adorable she is.

What??? :-|

when at work we had "face to face" meetings where a manager(of some sort) would take the stand to outline a forthcoming company policy.

there was one who continually used the word
"clearly"

to me, it wasn't, for if it was, he wouldn't have been needing to explain things......

Bad grammar either written or spoken.

Reversing back............Is there another way ?

Myself personally....same thing.

~~~~~to Wend.... :-D

'ello mate :-D

"on the uvver 'and..........."

lol Mr M

I know someone who constantly says.... "personally myself, I think....."

It's SO annoying!

Basically..... and.....at the end of the day...and......in all fairness :-|

Lessons will be learned

Why are GR members so irritated these days? This topic is becoming a regular on here. :-S
