    Whats a platitude....?
    A platitude is a trite, meaningless, biased, or prosaic statement that is presented as if it were significant and original. The word derives from plat, the French word for "flat." Whether any given statement is considered to have meaning is highly subjective, so platitude is often—but not always—used as a pejorative term to describe seemingly profound statements that a certain person views as unoriginal or shallow. An example of a platitude is "go with the flow" or "a rule is a rule."

    Spud - yes it's idiot proof...go to quidco - search for "chocolate tasters club" sign up for their offer box at £7.95 and get £6 cash back....simples (just remember to cancel the order when you get your first box or it will charge you each month for more boxes)

    Ta hun. I've just got to decide which box to order now :confused:

  • Ugh Christmas. I hate Christmas.

    The only thing better about this time of year over any other is that family spirit - certainly where I live - seems to come out more.

    I notice a real increase in the number of people going for family walks at this time of year. All wrapped up in their winter coats with scarf and gloves on. Awwww cute.

    But generally, pah. You can keep it.

    I'm working at Christmas (again) and I'm delighted!
