Spin Posted December 20, 2010 Posted December 20, 2010 Love it, exactly what I needed mid-way through a Monday morning that has been punctuated by calls, all with the common theme that their various issues just have to be finalised "before Christmas!"
HEON Posted December 20, 2010 Posted December 20, 2010 I only wish tradesmen I use would have the same work ethic of "before Christmas"...at least I would have some idea when they may come!
sfGnome Posted December 20, 2010 Posted December 20, 2010 Yep. Why is it that every project I've ever worked on is supposed to be finished in July, and ends up a gigantic rush at Christmas. All this work is interfering with my flying...
Spin Posted December 21, 2010 Posted December 21, 2010 Geez, I've a fair way to run to 60 yet, but sliced bread only became widely available where I grew up, once I got to my 20's. Actually looking at my wife and son's efforts on the odd French loaf etc, I reckon that cutting a decent slice of bread has become one of those lost arts, a bit like properly carving a joint (of meat!).
Guest davidh10 Posted December 21, 2010 Posted December 21, 2010 Thanks FD. I just love playing with language. There were some beauts in there.
farri Posted December 21, 2010 Posted December 21, 2010 Alright, what was the best thing before sliced bread? Anyone over 60 remember? Please Sir,Please Sir........I`m over 60,can I have a go.......Was it SEX? :see saw: Frank,
Yenn Posted December 21, 2010 Posted December 21, 2010 Whatever was the best thing before sliced bread is probably still the best thing. I find sliced bread terrible stuff, in fact most shop bought bread is a sad replacement for the real thing. Home baked for me. As far as the language goes, usually putting "in" before something makes it the opposite meaning. Except for flammable.
stanzahero Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 As far as the language goes... Can you think of an English word where 'ph' does not make an 'f' sound? Stanzahero.
slartibartfast Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 Shepherd? Or is that using a haphazard loophole?
planedriver Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 Phuket----Where many men go to be lead astray. PH, as per checking to see if the neighbours kids have been peeing in your pool. I was strugling uphill, haphazardly for an answer to this one.
