Can you do another booking tonight.
iainment specific I know but I’ve been handed three bookings into temporary accommodation tonight that are too close together in time to get to when the client should be there. And it means I finish work at the wrong end of the borough for me. So I’ll be home not long before ten instead of my hoped for nine o’clock.0 -

'Pissed' meaning angry. 'Pissed' means 'drunk'. It really pisses me off.

X 'doesn't do failure'
Nonsense.
I'm looking at you, @DagenhamAddick , though I agree with everything else in your post.
The only way to avoid failure is never to try

Finally, data; the word is the plural of datum. So, all BBC journos and whoever writes the BBC website news, it is not alright to say the data is indicating.... Not one BBC journo would say the World Cup stadia is nearly finished. They know that the word stadia is the plural form of stadium. How can they not know about data?
(Incidentally, while the BBC style guide does not incorporate guidance on the use of the word "stadia", the Guardian style guide does: "plural stadiums, not stadia").
Thankfully The Economist Style Guide has it right: Data and media are plural. So are whereabouts.
The Bank of England style guide (which is not available on-line) also knows the difference between datum and data. As evidenced by this extract from the BoE's latest Quarterly Bulletin: Data in dashed lines from 2011 onwards are based on responses to the NMG survey (2011 to 2019). Data in solid lines are calculated using BHPS (1991 to 2008) and Understanding Society (2009 to 2017). NMG data are from the H2 surveys only. NMG data before 2015 have been adjusted for a change in the income definition.1 -
