Boys and girls - CAKE of the very best kind and in such a wide variety of types, sizes, shapes and colours ............. https://www.sonicfireworkshop.com/Cake-Barrages-s/1818.htm Uhmmm ..... topical, but I'd better get my coat.

Look at this and tell me the world isnt going mad . Can you not say bread anymore in case brown or white people get the hump .

I was working at a firm which relied heavily on external contractors for manpower. When a check had been delayed, we needed to lay off 20 contractors for a week or so. The one dark skinned fella among them goes steaming into the production managers office and does the whole "Is it cos I is black?" thing. Brian's answer: "No Jay, it's because you're a c***, so far cough!".
Sorry. My rant. Sorry ,is a word that you use to apologise. When your wrong when you caused a real problem. Its a powerful word with a powerful meaning, and should be used sparingly. Listen out today and youll hear it being thrown around like a Frisbee.
Rules are for the observance of fools and the guidance of wise men...... Coordinating conjunctions like ‘but’ and ‘and’ may (note subtle use of the subjunctive case) be used to start sentences BUT often result in poor style. Much like splitting the infinitive, it is often done to achieve emphasis. The simple rule is obviously there to be observed by..... So I must be one too but equally it could be because Tony Blair forever started his most bombastic lines with ‘but’. Happy now?
Yes your right it is a dieing art. Thing is they arent wrong this is what bugs me its the little things Dont say sorry for taking your time ,dont say sorry for being right " Yes your right it is a dieing art. What I mean is , so many people saying it for no reason almost like they are trying to squeeze in as many as possible. "Sorry I took a second extra to get through the door" "Sorry I slipped""Sorry I burped" Say excuse me and pull out the big guns when they mean something. Am I being to picky.
A long dead humourist called AP Herbert wrote some fictitious case notes about imaginary legal proceedings. You may be aware of the notion in English Common Law of the ‘man on the Clapham omnibus ‘ aka the ‘reasonable man’. Suffice to say the concluding joke was that in law there was no such thing as a reasonable woman!
Oh my favourite doggerel is ‘the exception that proves the rule’. Most people completely fail to understand this is not about validating the ‘exception’. Rather, it is the fact you can identify a genuine exception that tells you there IS a rule in the first place......logically if there is no rule then there are no exceptions.
If we're being a bunch of grammar Nazis, can I add the use of '' literally' as an exaggeration. I feckin hate people who literally, throw the word, literally into every sentence they spout.
I watched that Tom Hanks film last night, Philadelphia. He was a gay, but I didn't see him eating any cakes (choux or otherwise) in it. He still won the court case ... but then he died. :-(
Talking about grammar ... here's what pisses ME off ... people who use the word 'of' instead of 'have'. Here are a few examples ... 1. I would of bought it if the price was right. 2. I should of bought it but it was gone when I got there. 3. I could of bought it but it was the wrong colour. Get it right folks, you're just making yourselves look thick!
And what’s with this of (have) business? As in “I would of (have) thought etc. And breaks (brakes) Tell ya, educayshun has gone up the schute if ya aks me
