Is it only me that goes grrr at this phrase?

I saw a sign yesterday in a local garden centre, and it really irritated me - ‘gateaux’s £3.50’!!! Wish I dared tell them it should just be ‘gateaux’!

If you want to make yourself look like a complete fool, then yes - go ahead and say something.

That teacher has probably rehearsed with the choir for ages and has filled in eleventy billion bits of paper in order to take them off the school premises, the families have dutifully listened to the practise at home, the children have no doubt been quite apprehensive about appearing in public - and one auld wifie couldn't find anything else to do other than moan about an erroneous G and tell off another adult.

FFS is right.

Love it oldgimmer1 there are times when you just have to say something.

oldglimmer I had bit of a rant about Away in a Manger - singing “little baby Jesus” instead of “little Lord Jesus”. It’s a hymn, sing the correct words or find a non-denominational song instead if it offends you!

Of course 'Auld Lang Syne' is the Burns song. 'Zyne' doesnt make any sense at all in any language.

No plans for the New Year. At my age will just wait and see.

Perhaps it was just a typing error.

You actually told them off?

I've kept my inner pedant in check lately but could not control myself when, yet again, I heard a school choir in my town centre singing:

"Good Tidings We Bring to You and Your KING"

FFS - it's KIN.

I told the teacher/choir leader off. .

I know it's awful of me but FFS it's easy enough to check.

My emails from firms seem to go into a junk folder, I suddenly realise that I have about 300+ emails which need deleting.

If you turned off emails from supermarkets your equanimity might not have to suffer such annoyances.

American words and phrases do my head in!! I hate them.

I received an email from an online company asking,
‘How would you describe your father?’
I replied - honestly, ‘Dead.’
They did apologise.

Yet another Americanism that has crept in !

Don’t get me started on irritating sayings - not enough time left in this ‘old years’ to write them down!

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL GNs.

All I want to say, actually all I want to scream

is ...
" and they wonder why sales have dropped off"

just give us what we want, how we want it,, and stop dishing us rubbish...

Vets. Train station.

See you later ??

'Auld Lang Zyne' as usually sung at parties is a different song from Burns's 'Auld Lang Syne'' although the former is adapted from the latter.

Most people don't know the words to the Burns poem and the party song may as well be sung by drunken parrots.

'Back in the day'

Precisely which day would that be?

I haven't had any messages from Tesco, Waitrose, Joules or any other firm
Or hurrah!

from the get go is meaningless and annoying.

" reaching out"

.... and another thing - 'invite' instead of 'invitation'.

Gosh yes Hooty it's awful!

Ooo Nannarose that "get go" gives me the absolute rage! I can feel my blood pressure rising! ??
