A Viscous attack # 2

[Catpiece]

Is it okay for me to start a second thread of the highly entertaining viscous attack? Couldn’t see a sequel and don’t want to step foot on anyone’s toes
edited to add: I’m Cattery but with a name change x

Because it is wrong? Does it actually sound right to you?

@Hollyhobbi ,Because it is wrong? 'I have just seen ...' is correct.
Does it actually sound right to you? It is right and it sounds right.

*I've just seen the news.'
*I've just seen the news.'
*I've just heard the news.'

Please explain why you believe that 'I've just seen...' is incorrect.

That’s not what I said! I said ‘just seen’ is incorrect!

Some clarity would have helped, @Hollyhobbi . It's shortened because, pedants or not, we can't always be bothered.

Ladies! “Just seen” or “I’ve just seen” is semantics. We were fully aware of what the poster meant. One can take pedantry too far unnecessarily x

It depends where the text is. In a post, I'd say it was fine.
In a Sky news standfirst, it wouldn't.

On MN, many don't pay much notice to the detail, but a news article is probably translated into many languages, and online translators are not infallible.

Cannot abide “I seen the news”

"Have you considered exam invigorating?" as a suggestion for a job.

Personally I've always found exams more enervating than invigorating.

I've seen someone saying they can hear 'feint music' on here tonight

In the Property section on here - "your furtive imagination".

'... but not day to day involved in the mitt-gritti ...'

Brooklyn Beckham will “rule the day” he cut his parents off

A squab is a baby pigeon!

They can hear Mumsnet playing feint music?

Sounds like he very much IS ruling the day from what I’ve just read. Silly boy

I don't understand the fuss about Brooklyn Beckham. Is there anything at all remarkable about him, other than who his parents are?
(cf Harry Sussex.)

No

According to the internet, he's a former photographer and former model, the son of a former Spice Girl and former footballer.

Don’t forget he’s a former chef too.

Oh is he. He seems to have done a lot for a 26-year old.

Someone wants to know were they being unreasonable to leave their boyfriend in the frozen isle.

Greenland? Svalbard?

@Chersfrozenface I came here to mention that one too, the thread is a lot less romantic and haunting than it sounded like it might be. He definitely deserved being left though, regardless of aisle/isle.

That thread is weird.

@Chersfrozenface , Iceland?

I really cba to read it, but please tell me she left him stuffed into one of the freezer chests!

Both isle and aisle being possible, of course.
