    OMG and saying Oh My God. I just find it offensive and feel that there are better exclamations.

    I am not religious

    'Going forward'
    'Rolling out'

    - or any other authoritarian-left twaddle that comes out of the mouths of that army of over-promoted, politically ignorant rabble in power (the 'Jacquies') on telly every day.


    :beer: Yes, yes and yes, what I've been banging on about ages.

    Some more... (best said in a patronising Scotish accent, ala, David / Wendy Alexander);

    "Were working very closely with all stake holders and agencies"

    "we recognise we need to be fully engaged"
  • "We need to draw a line under this incident and move on"

    Particularly when that is the eighteenth such incident that week.

    Social services failures - "we must learn lessons to ensure all agencies communicate effectively so this never happens again"

    "friendly fire"
    Those who will not reason, are bigots, those who cannot, are fools, and those who dare not, are slaves. - Lord Byron
  • "We need to set up a national database..."

    I am not religious
    In the last few months I've become religious, I've started believing in God and creationism and intelligent design, and the reason that I now believe in God and creationism and intelligent design is because of Professor Richard Dawkins. Because when I look at something as complex and intricate and beautiful as Professor Richard Dawkins, I don't think that could have just evolved by chance.

    Professor Richard Dawkins was put there by God to test us. Like fossils.

    And facts.

  • "I believe..."


    Who is this intended for? What does it say? "Thank you for your informed analysis but I am doing my own thing."?
