Do you remember The Inbetweeners (c4/e4)Raith_C_Chattonell said:Celebs who flog off goodwill messages.
“Hi, it’s Ross Kemp here. I’d just like to remind you that, in three weeks’ time, it’s mother’s day. Now chocolates are nice but they come at a price and flowers only last a week but a personalised video message lasts a lifetime.”
The former BBC soap star charges £60 for a personalised message via his website, rising to £85 if it needs to be delivered within 48 hours. He will also provide a “business shout-out” with prices starting from £1,000.
It just seems so insincere - the very opposite of what it's meant to represent.
The bloke who played Jay has made a fortune apparently doing these personalised messages. Buckley I forget his 1st name.

If the 999 cars have their blues & twos on, it shouldn’t be a problem.SporadicAddick said:In a line of 1,000 cars driving at an equal pace and with an equal distance between them, it only takes the driver at the front to slow down, for any reason, to have an impact on the 999 cars behind.3 -
The word "Batter" to nowadays describe a male batsman, it may be just me who think its woke nonsense, (or maybe cos its new) because "Bowler" is equally non gender specific of course.

Batter instead of batsman annoys me as well5
-
Its an anomaly.
Fieldsman, Wicket Keepman, Batsman, Bowlman and only Batsman became the word used when only men played. It jars on me to hear batter but batswoman sounds stupid for womens cricket and if you are going to use batter in womens cricket you may as well do so for men's as well.
so i understand the logic but it still creates itchy molars when i hear it

I guess the reason that batsman caught on originally is because batter has alternative meanings. I don't suppose there'd really be too much confusion though and that we should mostly know from context that it is the person wielding the bat that's being discussed and not the nominalization of a drubbing or the basis of Scottish culinary excellence. Batter has got a lot of development before it attain the 430 different meanings the word 'set' can convey, but this one still grates on me.0

Batswoman ? Thought it was cat woman.2

MoT failure due to the EML light remaining on. Passed on everything with brilliantly low emissions of 0.21 (it's a diesel) but at risk of going for saucepans due to this one 'fault'.
It's now fixed but had to go to a specialist to clear the fault. He didn't actually seem to know what he'd done, but it worked. Something to do with voltage at the turbo...Bloody nonsense.

Unfortunately modern diesels have so much emissions equipment stuck on to them that they're a financial time bomb.
Unless you do 15,000 miles or more a year on motorways, you're better off with a petrol these days.1 -

The bags that pasta and rice are sold in. The bloody things are close to impossible to open without splitting the bag so god knows why they provide a reseal tab.
The only solution is to tip the whole lot into a storage jar immediately else you spend half your life sweeping up rice.7 -
Misuse of the words 'educated' and 'cultured' to describe a foot in football, or as applied to palate for taste. Pretentious nonsense as neither pay attention.2

Re above you never seem to get players with a cultured right foot.1

I hear that the word brunch is being redefined by the growth of the 'bottomless brunch' industry (events that combine free flowing food and booze for a fixed price) but they're never held at the appropriate time.
Brunch. : a meal usually taken late in the morning that combines a late breakfast and an early lunch0 -
