Glad it's not just me!

Ending a sentence with

I worked with a guy called Mate. Ok it wasn't pronounced the same which spoiled the gag really.

Jobbie.

Phrasing.

Phil have you considered the problem is yours?  Each of the paragraphs in your OP contains its own overexcited hyperbole without any obvious awareness of the irony?

did Jesus really cry at evolution of the language?

is it really pointless to describe a positive or uplifting story as inspirational, or does it help to “market” the story to those who wish to be uplifted (and equally allow the permanently miserable to avoid such inspiration!)?

does legendary imply longevity of the person? Surely not.  Surely it is about tendency for the story to be retold repeatedly, and the character in such a story to become renowned.  It’s clearly just as “wrong” to presume that someone becomes legendary just because they have been around for a very long time as it is to suggest that extreme fame for a short term period deserves the label.

Phil have you considered the problem is yours?

No but I'm going to go with ,by page 2 a fair few others have all played along nicely till you happened. YAWN
