Rupert Lowe.

At least the guys doing the rowing for charity may make extra money off the back of his imbecilic behaviour.

The expressions 'I'm buzzing' or 'give your head a wobble'

Yes I'm very much not down with the kids, I make no apologies for that.

The HMS piss the league grinds gears also.

Having a bunch of geriatric twats sticking a Palestinian flag and some wanky protest posters right in my face in Melksham this morning. Told them to fuck off.

I don’t care what people protest about, just dont get in my face about it.

What’s the point of some words having a silent letter?

Subtle? Why the b?

If anything subtle is one of the few words that should have a silent letter in it…

I know it’s all to do with derivatives - but over time you would have thought it could have been simplified.

I do find the origins of language fascinating. Who thought of what to call things? It’s weird.

When did spelling get so bad?
Some people need to give their head a wobble (for BO  Smiley )

Breaks instead if brakes
There instead if they're or their
Sossig instead of sausage

I think sosig is a deliberate thing. Not sure of origin, maybe the Gordon Ramsey meme.

I'm far from perfect, but spelling errors do irritate me. Of course, it's difficult to know if people are Dilexic or not so you have to be a little easy on some people.

My biggest gripe is how lazy people are. Putting 'cuz' instead of because, for example. I always enjoyed English at school so the gradual butchering of the language does make me tut loudly.

We used to live near a village called Cowbit, which the locals pronounced “Cubit”, which is fine except the village sign incorporated a Cow, thick fuckers.
