DarkFruitsRam7 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 (edited) 7 hours ago, JoetheRam said: The fondness of Burtonians for prouncing words that end in "D" with a "T". E.g. Found becomes Fount. Usually they use specifically and Pacifically interchangeably as well. Bunch of cunds. I used to hear this once upon a time, but not since my early school days. Funnily enough, it was the people from Tutbury who were the worst offenders. One thing I am proud of though is the fact that we don’t pronounce the ‘T’ when it’s in the middle of a word. Thus, we live in ‘Buron on Trent’. I do love my hometown, for all its faults. Edited May 1, 2019 by BurtonRam7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coneheadjohn Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Frivolous use of dramatic words such as catastrophe or emergency. As in climate change emergency. If you have an emergency you expect the police(maybe not),ambulance or Fire service to out in 10 minutes with climate change they’re on about doing a bit of carbon reduction by 2050,I would question the use of the word emergency.

"Devastated" is a favourite of mine in this respect when describing the effect of often "first world problems" Reading a story about Marvel fans being devastated by End Game spoilers. Annoyed?, certainly. Disappointed?, undoubtedly. Devastated, though. Really? It's just another way of getting attention via clickbait unfortunately.

Mucker1884 Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Just had to pay £30 (almost twice what my ST works out at, per game) for Muckerette to join in the celebrations on Sunday. If Sunday turns into a catastrophe, I'll be bloody devastated, at that price! ;-) DarkFruitsRam7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsnip Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 1996. If you're taking part in a pub quiz and the question is "What year should Noel Gallagher have stopped making music?" the answer is 1996. I've just had the misfortune of hearing his latest offering. For the sake of morbid curiosity, here it is. You're welcome. rynny 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jono Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Ipsos MORI .. the leading polling company in the UK, a major PLC .. and guess what ? It canvasses disabled old ladies by phone ( my 89 year old mum in law ) ... wait for it ... at 9.00 at night when she’s in bed. this isn’t a dodgy double glazing firm .. this is a major corporation who should know better. I wasn’t annoyed last night, I flipping furious. Comrade 86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramit Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 When someone has their spelling or grammar corrected by another and responds with "Grammar Police." i am grateful if i get corrected, as i aspire to express myself correctly and don't get why anyone would take such assistance badly and feel the need to mock the person assisting. Using a small i or skipping a period at the end of a sentence is something i do however, but i consider that and similar efforts as taking liberties in an effort to individualize and stylize posts. Touchy subject, no doubt and i admit it has grey areas as i mentioned. Van der MoodHoover 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoetheRam Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Turns out there are some people who don't eat the two crusts at each of end of a loaf and just throw them away. Why? It's the same as the rest!

BaaLocks Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 I'm sure this has been covered before but people who video moments on their phone that they should just enjoy live. Last night went to a concert and when they did their most famous song you couldn't see the stage for people holding up phones. Why not just enjoy the moment rather than losing it only so you can watch a hazy recording once (maybe never).
