@citizen_maine And then somebody would make a film of it
@Mad Eyed Screamer shoots the 2 loud mouths but it turns out they were in a biker gang.
20 Hells Angels descend on the offices and a dance (known in Hollywood as a fight) breaks out. MES, whose gun has jammed, kills them one by one with sugar tongs and a rolled up serviette.
All this plays out to a backing track Bigmouth Strikes Again sung by some long forgotten artist.

As its Hollywood it would have to have a happy ending..... I can't be arsed thinking of one.....

Was on a first aid training course at work yesterday along with about 25 others including 2 fucking know it alls.

These two spent the entire course trying to out do each other - answering any question someone asked rather than the trainer answer it and then try their very best to counter the others answer with a "yes but in that scenario you could also do....."

One of them' sat in front of me, had the habit of finishing the sentence off for the trainer..... the pair of them were fucking annoying.

I have a feeling of deja vu here... Haven't you been in this exact situation before with the same scenario of some clever twats annoying you on a training course?

Maybe when you mentioned that you had being on eggheads to anyone that would listen you wound the rest of the class up quite a bit, they then all thought you were a big headed know everything twat and they then tried to outdo you.
 
Certain Premier league players (not name shaming Saka) who win a tackle or a throw in then immediately turn to the crowd and wave their arms about for adulation.
it's turned more into X Factor than football these days.

Even worse are the fans who then respond standing up and cheering/roaring wildly.

Sit down you dicks and save it for a goal

No. My last gripe in this thread was about twats bringing water bottles the size of a beer barrel to company meetings.

Bad news. The OED now allows should of etc in place of should have on the grounds of common usage. They should not of done that.

The evolution of language in action.

Much the same as literally replacing figuratively.

It still smacks of a lack of education for me, though.

Evolution of Language
Having decided to start educating myself with some classic literature, I ordered a copy of Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales". Unfortunately, without realising it, I had ordered a copy in the original Middle English; my own language (albeit 500 year ago) and I could hardly understand a word of it!

We had to read that for GCSE English in the original text, it was so unfair as it was another language and I hated every second of "learning" it.

Funny you should say that. I have a copy at hand and found quite recently that I can read Middle English with ease. Of course, it was the era of my favourite previous life so that explains it.

Seriously, I did study Chaucer at school, but that's a long time ago. I bought the book in Altrincham a few months ago, and was really surprised that I could understand it. I just have to look up the odd word.

People buying things up at charity shops, car boots etc to sell on for a massive profit.

Just seems like pure greed to me. When someone less well off might genuinely need it or put it to better use.

surprising what can be found in charity shops especially in the more affluent parts of the country
