Completely agree, it perverts the whole point of being alive (Not that i really think there is a point as such, but you know what I mean)

Is it moving to some expensive pay to view thing? Heartbreaking if so!

What's incredible about this is also that they are just influences using their daughter for clout. But they get promoted on the BBC! It's a business, you're giving them free advertising, stop!

The number 1 problem facing the world is that butter colours are not standardised. Green milk is universally understood as being semi skimmed, but red butter? Is it unsalted or salted it anyone's guess! Carnage! Chaos! Anarchy!

Don't even get me started on place names. Scottish ones are pretty, good any guesses on how to properly pronounce Milngavie or Fionnphort...

There are few things in this world that get me more furious than AI. It's just so fucking useless. All the use cases seem to be 'live my life for me'

Reading it back I now see that this was 100% me not reading your original reply properly. A full mea culpa

Ahhhh. Many years ago I was a linguist and learned the international phonetic alphabet. It would really have helped in this conversation

Did you pronounce the B in subtle?

This is the bit I got wrong - segue sounds like segway, not (as I always said) seeeeeg

19.05.2025 17:00 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

So the scooter I always said seg-way. Your friend ditched the way entirely?

I used to think (until I was 37) that Segue was pronounced Seeeeg, and that segway was a different word that no-one seems to use.

We live on Mull and have a 3yr old daughter. Startling how often we live actual Katie Morag life

Can't (sarcastically) wait for US style chaos politics to be imported to the UK with its 'unwritten' constitution that has even less weight than the US'

The thing about current politics that is very obvious is that it was all held together for decades by a bunch of made up rules that most actors agreed mattered. And it really doesn't work if people don't feel bound by those rules.

I mean, no-one talks about 1930s Germany without talking about the armistice

Can't agree enough. Any attempt to separate out the shite economic realities from the nativism and racism is useless.
