Increasingly we're seeing forum posts containing a quote from an earlier post with the word 'this' after it. It's bloody annoying. Please stop it. I know what it means but it's just a wee bit shite.

Also, the use of the word 'that' by the no-doubt hip and trendy. For example, 'The embarrassing feeling you get when you've farted in a lift and someone else gets in. That.'

And I'm not even going to get started on people asking 'can I get...' in shops and stuff.

their will always be tho'se who just dont care how there spoken or written words make them look dim in the eyes of they're friends/ colleagues / associates. And stuff.

On the other hand "and stuff" really gets my goat!

That - and stuff. Covers it all. 😉

Are we still allowed "[i]that[/i]" as a prefix when referring to major capitals (ie: "[i]that London[/i]") or is that off the menu as well?

Bit worried about losing that one...it would be like saying "[i]Vienna[/i]" without saying "[i]Ahhh...Vienna[/i]" afterwards....

'Give over' and 'Any road' both mean that no one involved in the production of Corrie has actually spoken to a Mancunian since t'last Preston Guild.

I think that the thing Meat Loaf wouldn't do for love was tea bagging.
