Yes interesting how names become unfashionable and date people. My name’s Colin and in Junior school in the early 50s half the class were called Colin. (Though mine’’s got two “l’s”). And Darren only became popular with the character called Darren Stephens in the 60s TV sitcom Bewitched. Not much used now.   Barry which could be a shortening of Bartholomew, or from a Gaelic name, used to be popular but in 2021 only 1 in 15,377 baby boys were called Barry. OK lecture over, back on thread………

I can get really wound up over this loan 

I know round there well. My cousin lives in Bluntisham and I’ve experienced mad drivers.

Sounds like an old girlfriend of mine

Great. I’m a STH at West Ham (because I live nearby) and they’ve been really poor this season. Rice has been very bad. There for the taking at PP I think.

It may be, oh perhaps it should be May

What’s with this “of” instead of “have”.  A lot of our posters do it. Must of, could of, should of, might of etc etc. it’s one thing saying it, but to actually write it?

I’ve carried out training in Qatar in several occasions, mainly for officials of government departments and the petrol industry. But only once or twice have I met a Qatari who are very much in the minority. Nearly everyone I’ve trained have been Indians who seem to run the administrative elements. I have seen lots of Saudis who fill the hotel restaurants in the evenings, coming over to see their mistresses and drink lager, then go back over the border in their Range Rovers.  Qatar generally is like a mini Dubai. I much prefer Oman.

And the strange expression “how is he in himself?”

And the omnipresent ‘Yeah 100%.’
As if 98% agreement was an option.
 

People who start a reply with “So….” still annoy me as do people who say “Absolutely” instead of “Yes”, but my current moan is people who say “from the get go” instead of “start” or “off”. Yes I know it’s a US College abbreviation of “Get Ready, Get Steady, Go!” but for some reason hearing it stirs up strange feelings of ire instead me. Grrrr!

I find that laxatives work well
