Confused of Manchester

[zathras]

The road I come to work on has only two lanes. The recent discussion about middle laners being no brainers has left me confused.

Which lane should I use ?

The left one - the same one you should use if there is three lanes!

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!

Jim Laaaaaaaaaad!

Splice the mainbrace....

Fifteen men on a dead man's chest....


Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!

It is not "talk like a pirate" day for nearly a month. Calm down old thing.

Hardly new words, they've been doing it since before medieval times.

Yep, a hangup from ancient times, and like fathoms and chains we should strive to rid ourselves of nasty confusing imperial measures that still abound and not revel in the delusion that duplicate words add intrinsic value or circumvent the relative nature of everything, which includes left and right and orientation. Seafarers continue to use antiquated units for speed too, and probably distance FFS.

Starboard, I'm thinking there is little port to say on this.

Port and starboard are obviously too hard for our new generations of media studies graduates to understand. I propose we switch to using "right" and "no, the other right".

I would always favour driving along between both lanes at high speed and if stopped by the fuzz point out the bit on your licence that says "tear along dotted line".
Sorry!
