Ash trees.Loads of them popping up in my garden.What I'd give for some Die Back.

Happened very recently in one of the sub tournos. Sub 20 Japan vs Italy.

And sycamores.

I'm utterly confused here (and perhaps am one of the people in your original post - sorry!) but isn't wage and sage a soft 'g' too?

EDIT- No, perhaps I do know what you mean. There is a sort of 'd' sound before the soft 'j' sound in sage and wage that isn't in beige ... is that it?

oh and Politics as well Pete.....that's getting sickly....

And apple trees.Lovely blossom but hundreds of rotting apples all over the lawn.

We,ve got two massive 100 year old Sycamores in our garden - I'm rather fond of them (but not the seedlings on the lawn, true)

Lets add those pointless oak trees you see in the middle of corn fields that force tractors to go round them. How inefficient. And hawthorns and blackthorns you get in hedgerows that block the view from the lane. And ancient beeches on the north downs that are a catastrophe waiting to happen. Chop 'em all down.

Dear God, this site's lost its soul

Spot on! Sorry for being a dick in the first place and not describing exactly what I meant. After reading your replies I began to question myself!!
Wage is kind of 'way-dje' and similarly sage is 'say-dje'. But beige has, and always should be pronounced as 'beyzh'.
Now I've confused myself and I'm off for a lay down :confused:

Briars.Why do they exist?

Plagiarism!

Michael Caine - Acting in Film: An Actor's Take on Movie Making
Chapter 7: How to Pronounce Words When Rat Arsed.

People who come out with a load of idiotic racist/homophobic crap then when called out proudly say things like 'I speak my mind, i don't hold back, it's my opinion and if you have a problem with that then tough shit, I'll say what I like'

What they sound like in their heads: confident, important and speaking the truths no one wants to hear out loud

What they actually sound like: arrogant, loud mouthed self centred tactless ignorant wankers.

Fair point.
Just as I give Daley Thompson, Magnum P.I., Ron Swanson, and my Dad (for a brief period of time in the 70's) a free pass as to people who are allowed to don a moustache, Michael Caine gets a pass on the word 'Beige'.

Anyone in mind?

:)

Richard Pryor, Borat and Terry Thomas deserve a nod too imo.

Quite often seen in the celebrity big brother type genre of tv program.

Join Freecycle and give them away to anyone who will pick them. A lovely lady visits us every year and picks them off our tree to feed to her pigs.

:p

Oh dear... I think I pronounce it bay-dje.

Not sure if it is a Croydon thing or an American thing... my accent is pretty ****ed up now!

Funny I was thinking to myself as I was driving home how I now pronounce banana, as in ban-anna, as opposed to ban-arn-na.

Too right, although this year was a bad year for blossom, so hopefully for apples too. The apples are actually very nice but are so high up you can't reach them and the cats aren't interested in being trained to bring them down gently......

I think that game is why all the final group games of World Cups and Euros, as well as the last games of the season, are all played at the same time.

People marking themselves as safe on Facebook.

After the London Bridge attack, I had a friend who lives in Ireland marking himself as safe.

I for one sleep more soundly knowing that all those stay at home mums in Kent have marked themselves as safe.

Getting squashed, sitting in the middle seat of a three on a train.

Its ludicrous isn't it, a useful feature which could be utilised in exceptionally rare circumstances once again hijacked by the look-at-me brigade.

Not in my garden. The first year that my apples, pear, cherry and plum trees have all set fruit. I should be knee deep in Victoria plums come August.:lux:

This bloody heart monitor thing that I'm having to wear for the next 24 hours....every time it beeps and starts squeezing my arm it makes me jump....I swear it's going to do my blood pressure no good.

Oh, and being told by the nurse at the hospital, and my mum on the phone today, that I'm starting to get a really noticeable northern accent after nearly 20 years oop 'ere!

I live near York and I aren't picked op an accent, lad.

Going all morning without needing a piss, then go at lunch and already need another one half hour later. Why?

My son's school shutting down for the day to become a polling station. Do it in someone's house FFS. Or a shop that's shut down

Broken the seal, init.

Perhaps, but I'm at work, not on the lash downing 4 pints :(

Men who say they are going for a 'wee' rather than the more masculine 'slash'.

I'd better lend you my book on how to make slivovitz then.

You've released the load that was waiting in situ.

Now the backlog from further up in your plumbing has arrived?

But this could be nonsense, as I'm not a medic....nor a plumber.

I has quite a sesh on that in Croatia a few weeks bank. Mad stuff, save some for me :)

rain and wind ruining my lovely rose bush

Labour voters on twitter. More specifically those under the age of 25 and criticise anyone and everyone if they don't vote labour. They can fxck off, we live in a democracy

I'll have to Google that thanks. I wonder if I could use the moth damaged a fruit as it just gets wasted. I'll have to start home brewing at some point, I have hops, gooseberries, raspberries, red currents growing too.

Might have to wait until I can actually get into the garage.

Maybe they should look up the winter of discontent assuming they still teach modern history in school.

Barely modern history though......it was nearly 40 years ago. Quite a lot of water sunder the bridge since then.

Maybe it has something to do with the sites i visit and 'connections' I have but
I have been surprised by the large amount of Labour activity (personal and sponsored) which outweighs the Tory stuff/advocates. If the result were based upon the volume I would think it would be a Labour landslide. Not long before we find out now but I think the result will be very, very different from that predicted when the election was called. Hardly news I know but still a surprise bearing in mind the chaos just before in the Labour Party and Corbyn demands some acknowledgement of that. Whatever the result his job is safe now I reckon.

Poor female genital hygiene.

If it's just the flowers if you dead head them you should get another flush. But I'm guessing you would know that.

Have a wash then.

Walter Mazzarri...saying that we're not ambitious is pathetic. Frankly we don't WANT you to come hrere, its not as if it's your choice to reject us you wan*er. Fired by Watford, now that's a good CV isn't it? Get lost you tosser.

Surrey ccc buying all the best cricketers then their fans celebrating when they finally win something.At Kent we can't do that and remain a proper cricket county not a Chelsea equivalent....

who's arsed what some Watford reject thinks of us? Get back to managing some Italian no marks

TBF. A good way to filter out your friends list.

Born again bbs trolls resurfacing with new usernames and trying to act all 'whacky & edgy' but are just dull as day old dung. Bore off you nobs.

Sunderland South Constituency. Why are they so f**king desperate to get in the first count. W*nkers.

Newcastle is the nearest city to Sunderland, about ten miles away, and yet there are no road signs with the word Newcastle on them anywhere in the whole of Sunderland. Pathetic inferiority complex

your stupid ******* election. i've got a ******* essay to write but i'm being severely distracted because some selfish old woman decided today would be an appropriate day to hold a ******* election. where's the ******* courtesy?

Ex-Pat OAPs racially abusing people....without realising the person they've called "an impatient ******* dago" is actually an English speaking South Londoner.

Working where they have commercial radio on in the background.

God the music they play is shite

Is the annoying bit at the beginning or the end of this sentence?

Actually its your addition. Xx

You wouldnt have that problem.with me sweetheart, my bellend is all clean and sparkly, especially for.you. xxxx

Maidstoned's bellend.

Have you put glitter on it?

Gary?

:angel:;):eek:

Plenty of them about at the moment

1. People who use the hair dryer in the gym changing room to dry their body hair especially their ass cheeks.
2. The middle class

'It is what it is.'

WANK

People who say ass when they mean arse. ;)

Mummies with baby buggies who decide that the busiest part of a supermarket is the best place to stop and chat with each other, and totallyblock off access to everyone else, oblivious they are in the way!

People in political threads misusing 'less' when more correctly it is 'fewer'. How can they understand anything if they cannot grasp this relatively simple aspect of their (presumably) native language?

this annoys me as well. I'm not even sure what it means.

Rather ironically, it means something isn't worth getting annoyed about!

It is what it is...i.e. it can't be changed, so don't waste effort and your emotions on it.

Well that hasn't worked then has it.

Are you trying to tempt me to reply 'well, it is what it is'?

Think I'll resist.

Wankstains that stop dead to cut in to a static lane of motorway traffic a mile away from the actual junction they are leaving at thereby blocking the whole ******* lane to all other traffic.. Just keep moving until there is a ******* gap.

I made a rare visit into London yesterday and didn't see a single famous person in real life.
That other thread on the BBS is full of fantasists.

However it did give my obviously​ latent racism an airing, on the Tube the only words being heard were in foreign languages at high volume. I assume all the Brits were doing the quiet, reserved, no eye contact, no speaking, stiff upper lip thing, as we are taught to do.
Bloody foreigners/tourists.

We should have an "It is what it is" thread.

Local shop here, tiny place, mother takes double buggy in because she wont leave it outside the door with the grandmother........buggy manouvered into an area because the mother won't leave the buggy to move 2ft to get something...buggy gets stuck, chaos ensues as all the old ladies that are in said shop having a gossip, cant get out.

James Corden. Fkin smug annoying twat.

Bbc news app. I have held off for years updating my app. It was perfect but since Apple tricked me to doing an update with its bloody "put in your pin" and it'll do it over night thing. I was forced to then update the app. I HATE it. All BIG pictures looks more like a teenagers magazine rather than a news site ��������

A3 junction with the M25 EVERY morning.

Cheers, keep smiling

It means ... We are where we are.

:)

Grrr

Face chewing coke heads who come up to you whilst you're playing "White Lines, Don't Do It!" to say that "Thish ish a ******* tune mate!"

It is, and its all about what a bunch of cocks you coke heads are....well done.

"Golden generation"

Do fvck off

I also have the CNN App on my phone (Well I am in America) and this one and the BBC one are basically identical in format as well as news stories.

When viewing one, I tend to not realize which of the two I'm in.

Also a lot of the stories link to a video, which I'm not mostly interested in... I just want to read the story.

People who press the button on a pedestrian crossing even though they aren't crossing or on a road that isn't busy and they could easily cross before or after you have passed them.

Poor Biggus :afro:

The modern use of double-barreled surnames by the hoi polloi. Once an indication of two great houses joining together, now just an indication that the father has scarpered.

Nothing worse than a jack-knifed baby buggy

The web page is no better.
Awful drop in quality over the years to the point I rarely look at it.

Tend to agree with this Prince Phillip ,of, Schleswig Holstein- Sunderburg_ Glucksburg

Not to forget all Ian Wrights abandoned off spring and all the other double surnames on most every team sheet.

People that cross the road directly in your path without looking or making eye contact with you, with the knowledge (faith) that you will not run them down and take evasive action.. seems to be mainly the young that feel this is a good idea

He hates the song.

i bet you love it. ;)

Fat Brits who, whilst staying at our house rental, break the toilet seat and two, good quality, wicker chairs with their fat facking arses!!!

We once allowed friends of friends to borrow our car.
When the clutch cylinder started to leak they used engine oil to top it up.
It worked fine for the next few days but then, once they had gone home, it mysteriously failed.
Cnuts.

Stalwart Tory and Labour supporters that bang on about their ardent beliefs without being able to see the other side of either argument (and glossing over any policies they dont like from their own party of choice).

Even worse are the ones who use two surnames but without the hyphen then get all arsey if anyone puts one in. Many years ago, I used to work with a bloke like that. But, to be fair, this is more common among the moneyed wannabe set.

There are a couple of threads on here you want to give a very wide berth to....

People who don't press the button on a crossing even though they are crossing on a road that is busy and wait for you to do it for them.
