        I do that with my daughters and missus. Believe me, it's the only way to shut them up and to make sure you get the last word in

          What else do students do when they are not asleep or our boozing?
          The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

          But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

                    Not sure this was quite the theme of the post, but what I hate: (well, a short summation of)

                    People who say things like "Seven AM in the morning". You've just said
                    "IN THE MORNING" twice, you knob.

                    People who say "At the end of the day...". What? At the end of the effing day, what? It gets dark, that's what.

                    People who say LEND instead of BORROW. Can I LEND your pen? NO YOU CAN'T, it is MINE to LEND to you, and for you to BORROW from me, you inane goblin.

                    Scott Mills on Radio 1, who has started a trend of saying 'off of'. What is that about? "And next on the line we have Linda off of Portsmouth". FROM! FROM FROM FROM! Its quicker to say than 'off of'!! You sound like a MORON.


                    And...I'm spent.
                    Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.
