    Aaah yes, good one!

    ‘clique’ being pronounced ‘click’ annoys me too.

    And ‘anythink’.

    I’d love to ask the pronouncer to write down what they’ve just said.

    Athletes, or commentators at least turning nouns into verbs: “he podiumed/medaled”

    I don’t mind most of this stuff when performed by morons but people who clearly know better shouldn’t endorse poor usage just because the OED has been obliged to accept it

    Text instead of texted… “I text him last night…”

    “Done xxx proud” – this phrase makes no sense to me, and the fact that it is used to describe Idiotballers makes it so much worse.

    In need of some advise please.
    I have a cannondale prophet which has a 1.5 steerer and cane creek headset fitted.
    Just brought new tapered forks…
    Now do I just need to change the top part of the headset or both?
    Cheers

    The guy I once worked with went on all exclusive holidays. On one occasion whilst at a funeral he remarked ‘when the daughter walked in I swelled up’
