Imean doesn't anyone have anything original to say. I.'m beginning tho think the newspapers must have standard phraeses that they insert into each story....

Newsreaders seem to think they Are being 'with it' when,in fact,it's just, lazy

It's six of one and half a dozen of the other.

At the end of the day you've got to take the bull by the horns and move forward.
I turned around and said to someone just the other day that a line must be drawn under all this silly talk.
I hate it!

Doubtfuldaphne · 24/06/2013 23:18

And it's a game of two halves

Grin I am suddenly unable to think of a single cliché! My mind is a blank!

MrsTerryPratchett · 24/06/2013 23:29

Is it wrong that I just want to know how to do accents on the 'e's now?

Not as green as I'm cabbage looking can't get left out.

SaggyOldClothCatPuss · 24/06/2013 23:33

My lappie does it by itself! I have no idea!

You're not wrong to want to turn this around. Unfortunately, that horse has bolted. You have to see the silver lining in every cloud and look on the bright side. If you can push the envelope and step up to the plate, you may survive to tell the tale.

It could not have happened to a nicer person. You could not make it up. Life's too short.

If we all pull our socks up and put our thinking caps on and our shoulders to the wheel and stop sitting on the fence and strike while the iron's hot and get the ball rolling while it's in our court we can make hay while the sun shines.

Reading this thread has been such an amazing journey. It's the best thing I've ever done. I'll be devestated if I have to leave.

"I.'m beginning tho think the newspapers must have standard phraeses that they insert into each story...."

At the end of the day, you have to look at the bigger picture - they just insert names into standard stories.

Someone moaning at work said 'when one door closes another opens' I told her she could try opening it herself as er that's how doors work! She was not amused...
