anyone else thought “temporary” and “terrible” meant pretty muc the same thing?

i’d Inferred this meaning by reading the road signs saying “temporary road surface”

We had an annoying neighbour, who my Dad referred to every single time as "Bloody Ralph."

I was 16 before I realised Bloody was not his first name.
 
I can remember that in junior school they used to read us stories from the old Testament. I can remember the part where Moses had the Ark built from gold and silver. Now every schooboy of that age knew that that by using those materials that it would never float. I couldn't wait for them to get to the part where they sailed it, but they kept going up mountains! :wacko:
