actually Brian it's the saying "You're alright" - you hear it so often - "Can I offer you a lift?" - "No, you're alright" never understand that

Why do people say "I'm all right" when you ask them if they want a drink, food etc..
What's wrong with "No thank you".
I'm asking them if they would like a drink, not enquiring about their health !

'Lessons to be learnt' - if they haven't learnt the lesson by the time they are in tops jobs then they shouldn't be there at all!!!!

AnnC You put the "it" in Whitchurch, The "Ann" in Llandaff. :-D :-D

'At the end of the day'......

:-D

yes, we've been on a journey, a learning curve - we are so blessed!!!!

and as for the It Girl - aka Clara Bow, when I was a teenager an old man on the bus going to work said to me "gosh, you are the image of Clara Bow" never heard of her, so when I got home, asked Mum and she told me who she was - Hollywood never called though :-( :-( :-(

"On a journey" seems to be popular too. Drives me mad.

Was just going to add they don't catch a bus or car and then I've said "drives " me mad and I haven't been anywhere either

If you get my drift #####

Kay, and how do they know?

Oh I have set myself off now. Another phrase I hate is "Cutting a long story short"

John I personally do not remember the "IT" girl But I do remember Gin and "IT"

One that really really really bugs me to distraction and is so thoughtless and of no comfort to the bereaved ......

"""""""Oh dear I' m sorry to hear/read that,,,,,,,,,but they are in a better place,"

NO!,,,,,,,the better place for them would still have been with their loved ones.

know wa,ht I mean.

Paula+ What is wrong with "it". You surely don't remember the "it" girl :-0 Yes, "it" is very American.

I used the phrase "from whence" cos I thought I heard it on University Challenge this week as "two words that mean the same thing so one word will do". Not sure about that.

Face? Bothered? I should cocoa. :-D

and why do people say "so I turned round and said.....", or "he turned round and said....." - they never turn round - what's that all about

I HATE it Emma. It is so American.

During the endless video clips of the X Factor wanabees I lost count of the number of times they said "and you know what" and "I've wanted this all my life".

'You know what I mean ' and 'Like' at the end of sentences drives me mad too.

Maybe I am just a grumpy old woman you know what I mean like :-D :-D

John You are soooooooooooo funny. The word is clichés
it is a a noun meaning phrase or opinion that is overused and betrays a lack of original thought.

Closure is a word that really bugs me.

This takes me back to a time some years ago, a women came to my company to give a presentation during the introduction she said " We all must be on a level playing field" my brain just stopped listening as I tried to relate what she was saying to the topic of the presentaion. :-S :-S

Annx My Father used to buy the Readers Digest, I used to love looking at he words in the front of the book, I still do that when I pick up a copy.

My grandkids dont use "Wicked" anymore, it seem to have changed to "Cool" now.

They didn`t believe me that we used "Cool" in the 1950s not forgeting that ordinary normal folk at that time were looked upon as being "Square". :-D :-D :-D

yeh, like good, innit . :-D :-D :-D

Yet another thread about cliques:-( :-( :-( :-(

From whence did the idea for this thread originate. At the end of the day, it is no skin off my nose. RR seems to have become a very popular cliche with one viewer : ;-)

Chris, I AM trying to be funny, but.........

Obviously you don,t like "Blue Sky Thinking" :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D ;-)
