    I don't think my fist lesbian is the same fist lesbian as your fist lesbian.


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

        well I hope to god it's not the same 'yeah, yeah, yeah' bloke that I had to work with - whenever he went out of the room we did impressions of the Churchill dog or General Melchett - he came in and caught us once but didn't realise we were taking the piss outta him

          and all those good things

          I've been away from IT departments for a while. Now I'm back, and all the managers are saying "...and all those good things".

          E.g. "Pete does C#, ASP.NET, WCF and all those good things".

          "we need you to extract the data, cleanse it, match it against Binkie, and all those good things".

          Who's responsible? I'm on the brink of saying it myself.

            Pompous, officious Yanks who say "I need you to do such and such".

            I hope to God we don't start hearing that in the UK, although sooner or later it's inevitable.

                    Probably been done but I can't be bothered to read through all the posts on this thread; the Americanism "can I get" in place of "may I have". The answer should always be a firm "no, you can't get it, you don't work here".

                      When I ask my kids how they are, they invariably say "I'm good". I find that really annoying, because I'm enquiring after their health, not their level of behaviour.

                      Anyone else find that annoying?
                      What if they are in good health?
