That used to be ‘the fashion’, is it the other way round now ?
I still wear mine in the outside.

When I get charged for being 1 kilo overweight on my hand luggage and I'm 74 KG and the person in front of me is about 100KG

One that pisses me off too is the fuckers with massive bags as ‘hand luggage’ (some that big they have wheels and a handle to pull it) you could fit a dead body in some of them, don’t think I’ve ever seen one get questioned either.
Girlfriend’s just been pricing up holidays recently and some companies seem to be charging £150 for your luggage as an extra, cheeky sods !

Men that have long procedures on a Saturday in the barbers. A big queue waiting for them to have their hair dyed. Twats!!

I know what trainers I’m wearing. I think I look a **** with them outside - always have done. Just my preference. You can buy fashion but you can’t buy style. ;)

Very true that mate, I’ve always been 10 years behind, or 10 years in front :-)

Wish I could give you a thousand 'likes' for this Marklr. Thought it was just me. Every time I hear it, I feel like murdering someone! You can pretty much guarantee it's the same morons who use the so-called 'upward inflection' at the end of a sentence so that every statement sounds like a fucking question. See below.
The unstoppable march of the upward inflection?
The habit of making statements sound like questions is a genuine linguistic mystery.

I despise it. Apparently it's not good for the mouth to talk in that style...
..not near me, it isn't anyway.

Doing my shopping this morning in Warrington Morrisons, a "gorgeous" (trout pout, too much make up, hair extensions etc) 30something went straight to the salad bar and filled up a container.
She then proceeded to walk round the store, eating it.
Not only that, she showed everyone that passed her, the contents of her mouth. I've seen pigs, snouts in troughs with better eating etiquette.

Billy Ballbag.
Otherwise known as Guillem Balague.
People hang on his every word, as he's classed as a Spanish football expert.
No. He's a Spanish journalist that has a mouthpiece for his opinions. He's no better than the English ones we deride on here.
Let's not forget, he said David Silva will get homesick, and won't last a year.....
How did that work out, Billy?

No, not Australian originally, like most cultural "fashions" these days it's American "valley speak", San Fernando valley, California. The Frank Zappa song Valley Girl, from 1982, is a musical testament to the phenomenon.
Many young Australians have adopted it, as they have adopted the word "like" , especially young girls.
"So I'm like...He was Like....And it was like...etc etc.
Australians copy America a lot, culturally. It's getting more American here than English.

I thought you’d upgraded to Mercedes now with a Rolls Royce for the Boss of you all?
I never try to get rid of the adverts…
a) because I wouldn’t want to deprive you of your little perks and
b) let’s face it after reading my daft posts you need a reward
c) I haven’t the faintest idea how to get rid of them anyway. :-)

Blocked credit card for no reason is kinda annoying.

So, people who think that language evolving is a personal insult to their eardrums and we all should still be talking like Shakespeare or some shit.
