Ah lighten up!

Anyhow as we were about to leave the house today I commented to Jen it was raining and she goes oh shit is it the kind that gets you wet?

The hot ones get away with it.

Ok, I would like to say that those who think guys have no fewer "airhead" moments are probably correct.

The difference is, male "airhead" moments are not vocalized at as high a percentage rate as women. Guys don't have to talk and talk and talk like women do, so when we have a thought it doesn't come out of our mouths as often.

I'm just going to show you a perfect example where the point of a post went completely over your head.




thebish wrote:Pet hates - the peculiar grammar/language/tense-construction that plagues football commentary and players' interviews who must have once thought it was cool and now has become a nationwide bad habit....

1. tense mangling... eg "The lad's went straight past him." "He has went" is simply wrong in anyone's book! Cut it out!!!!!

2. adverb and adjective mangling... eg "the lad's done fantastic." If you want to use it as an adverb - then it is "fantastically" - what's so hard about that?? - better still, find a better adverb to use - but don't say "he's done fantastic" - it is simply WRONG!

3. the paranoid avoidance of the word "me" because they mistakenly think it is rude to use the word "me" and the subsequent substitution of "myself" entirely incorrectly!! eg "The manager's spoke to myself." (this combines inapropriate "myself" with tense mangling!) if you mean "me" - use ME!! how hard can it be???

4 - now moving off footballers - the un-necessary american habit of extending words, now rife in the UK. eg - the almost universal "criminality" when they just mean "crime" and the addition of meaningless sentence-lengthening phrases that add nothing - such as the ubiquitous "going forward" that politicians now add to every sentence to try to look as if they have an idea about the future...

pedant??? me??? aghhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When people use apostrophes in the wrong place.

:frogwink:


Did you see the follow-up where I talked about why, to me as an American, it was in the wrong place and stated that no one here uses it that way? I was informed that that is a common (wrong) way to phrase things in England (therefore probably also in Australia), but it is not used that way here. Frankly, no one here even uses the word "lad" or "bloke" unless they're like 90 yrs old.

Thus, I thought it was mistyped.

But, anyway, my point was simply that people using apostrophes in the wrong place pisses me the f**k off.

Most annoying and stupid this is, "i'm cold."

And it's the middle of winter and they're wearing next to nothing.

No woman on here can deny you have said that.

It's annoying more than anything else, no-one wants to see blue legs popping through fake tan. As much as Jen says the most retarded things she hates the weather here and is constantly moving around the house with a blanket and wraps up like she's on an Antartic misson when she leaves the house.

Me and a few mates were watching football one night when she came in...

Jen 'how long is left'
Me 'second halfs just kicked off'
Jen 'how many halves are there?'
Me 'three'
Jen 'Cool'

That's brilliant. :rofll: The clue is in the word 'half'.

I could write a book of these myself.
I knew a girl called Zoe and if you spent a day with her she would come out with at least 3 by the end of the day.
This is the one of her classics:

She's watching a documentary about agorophobia sufferers and she says "It must be terrible to be too frightened to leave your own home - those poor homophobics."

Another time she also said, as we came out of a shop:
"Did you see that bloke in there?"

Me: "Which one?"

Her: "I don't know.."
:dizzy:

Once we were in a Greek restaurant in Chiswick called 'Kalamari'.
She read the menu for 20 minutes and then said "Do you think they serve Kalamari in here?"
:doh:

:rofll: Always good for a laugh she is.

:redface: :redface: May have been guilty of that one myself...

BUT i blame it on blokes who seem to think the only way for a woman to look good is to wear more skimpy clothing - if we wrap up in warm trousers and thick jumpers most of you males are shallow enough you'd then start chatting to the scantily clad (shivering) bimbo in the corner - probably with some cheesy chat up line like 'can i warm you up' :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I would like to go on record as saying that women can look GREAT fully covered. You don't have to show off, you just need to wear clothes that look good on you... that doesn't mean they have to be small or reveling. Proper fit and stylish is all it takes really.

Most of the time me and my friends laugh when we see girls out on the town wearing skimpy clothes in the winter. It's a sign of desperation to us men.
