Fatally killed

[ludog]

A continuity announcer introduced a documentary about Princess Diana by saying "In 1997, Princess Diana was fatally killed in an accident in France..."
I wasn't aware that being killed could be non-fatal.

Brilliant

It's a bit like "very unique"

LOL at tmmj

Last month, the local radio station interviewed someone who had been 'electrocuted' the day before.

As opposed to the non-fatal killing where you stand up, brush yourself down, and say 'oo-er, did you see that?'

I do love a redundant phrase me,

any more? Canne think of a good one right now

"Man recovers from fatal accident"

One of my favourite headlines.

marvellous Castille

one of my favourite, and rather morbid, headlines was, in our local rag, 'Husband to be Killed In Car Accident'. With no punctuation

I am slightly irritated by 'HIV virus' and 'PIN number'. But to say something would be incredibly irritating ... what's a girl to do?

My lovely work colleague continually refers to this year as "Oh-ten". But I adore her, so this is endearing rather than stupid.

Not quite the same but my aunt talks about the time she supposedly was taken to the doctor because she was nearly knocked down by a car. Drives my mum mad when she recounts this story.

Oh yes ... my FIL generally thinks his colds "will turn into 'flu".

It's amazing what happens in his body; he can cause spontaneously mutate viral structure, by the power of his neurosis.

ACtually, I wince a bit at the "if you have wet hair, you'll catch a cold" lark. Oh really?

and how about Hongkong and Shanghai Bank Corporation Bank ?

Old antiques. That was a good one.

I hear that the "Department of Redundancy, Redundancy Department" is a bit overstaffed at present. It's likely there will be some redundancies soon.
