Octopuses is correct

Octopi and Octopodes are accepted because of the Greek origin of the word, but as Octopus is and English word gramatically they are incorrect according to marine experts and scientists

for the focs,
"having a beef with" is current youth parlance for falling out with someone...

i think it's a shame we can't all get along better on here,
especially in off-topic.
the sub-politics thread is in itself like a fucking warzone at times.

we're all blues yet some people get quite worked up with others,
really angry with people they've never even met.

i was recently told off for posting videos on a music thread.
i recently got called out quite strongly when i was only being a daft grammar wanker.

naturally, we have differing opinions,
but it seems that they cause great divides.

from my understanding of being a blue back in the day,
one of our greatest attributes was the ability and willingness to laugh at ourselves and each other.
yet some on here have become like sworn enemies.
there are occasional posts that contain genuine rage.

what happened to us?
isn't this a time to be smiling broadly at the success of our team?
why do some people get so enraged?

uh-oh,
this sounds like some sort of peace treaty thread,
actually, thinking on, maybe it is.

"i don't like the way he comes across.
he's wrong about that so i'm going to get angry with him.
let alone his political viewpoints.
i refuse to consider any empathy.
i shan't calmly discuss it with him, no, no chance, he's a ****.
i'll just insult him and henceforth think him a complete wanker!"

no wonder there's no peace on this planet,
if us blues can't even get along.

without humour we are nothing.
with hate we are even less than nothing.

what's wrong with being nice to everyone?

Fuck off
 
After deliberating with my wife, I've come up with a development to my proposal of the beeves terminology.

She quite astutely pointed out that this is very similar to the use of "meat" and "meats". While meat is generally considered an uncountable plural ("would you like some meat"), the use of "meats" is used to denote a countable variety of meat products ("a selection of meats").

Applying this logic, if you are eating a roast beef dinner, you can have "some beef" in the uncountable fashion.
However, if you developed a charcuterie board, made up of a variety of beef products, some roast beef, some potted beef, some corned beef, perhaps some pastrami, then what you have there are "beeves".

I am very lucky to have found a partner in life who doesn't shirk life's big questions but meets them head on with me.

my mum's 80th today.
she fancied a balti this evening...

as we got to the tram stop the tram was pulling in.
i skipped down and stood in the doorway.
she was 20 seconds behind me,
doing her very best to run.

she looked at the tram driver,
she said he smirked and shrugged his shoulders at her.
the **** pressed the button to shut the doors!

the next tram was 28mins wait.
naturally, i repeatedly blocked the door from closing until she got onboard.
the **** kept on trying to close it.
he couldn't wait 20 fucking seconds, the wanker.
 
blimey.
all i did was say a few interesting things, post some paintings & a song.

it's almost as if some people actively seek out beeves.
as if they come on to bluemoon looking to have a go at someone.

Cal mate, I'm not a fighter, sadly I'm not a lover either but..... I need to pull you up on this.

If you refused to return my motobility scooter, it could be said I had a beef with you.
If you then failed to return my ride on lawn mower I would also have a beef with you.
Therefore, ergo and thingy, I'd have 2 beefs with you.
