Things that have bothered you for a long time.

It happens all the time. Well, not all the time, but quite often...

I'm driving along and I notice the moped rider behind me has left his indicator on. Not a good idea. So I flip mine on for a couple of flashes, in a place where I couldn't possibly be turning, just to alert him/her. Nothing. I do it again. Still nothing. I put my hazards on for a couple of flashes, then off, then the indicator again. Nothing. Is there nothing in that tiny mind that pops up to say 'why is that driver ahead doing that?' Apparently not.

The BBC altering their schedules just to suit them. ie We just sat down to watch Richard Osmond`s House of Games only to find it shifted to 19:00 as Strictly come dancing is on instead. I mean, it has put my body clock right out of kilter !

'Actress' had a double-meaning, as in the 'actress and bishop'

They are still actresses in my book.

Why do the BBC report on a ‘road accident’ rather than a ‘road crash’

 

[Cavalol]

Sounds like an Orwellian state where you aren't allowed to live past 25.

Like Ellesmere Port for example? 😛

Why do the BBC report on a ‘road accident’ rather than a ‘road crash’

Because they've used all their grammar credits turning terrorists into militants and illegal immigrants into migrants. Were road safety a leftie cause then it would doubtless be renamed "capitalist road murder" or somesuch.

Did Jimmy die at the end of Quadrophenia?

 

[sheddy]

I don’t think so. The last album track (love reign over me) is nicely upbeat.

Did Jimmy die at the end of Quadrophenia?

No, at 01:52':15" of the movie you can see him there on clifff top..

What's the point of storage heaters? They're nice and warm during the day when you're at work and freezing cold in the evening when you get home.

Did Jimmy die at the end of Quadrophenia?

No he didn't. He eventually got his life in order, got himself some decent mates and got over Steph. He went on to star in a Blur video and was also in Eastenders for a while.

Please explain

 

[Chris S]

Please explain

It used to be used as a euphemism for a prostitute.

It used to be used as a euphemism for a prostitute.

So why do we still use Bishop?

 

[Chris S]

How's that relevant to 'actress' used to having a double-meaning?
