    AC2, What about those big holey earrings that you can see through?

     Those are the worst, with pierced tongues being nearly as bad.

    Things that I've said and done in my younger days, memories of which pop into my mind on random occasions..  I've since learnt to think before I speak or act, a skill I wish I had developed a few decades ago! image

    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

    And noses. I knew someone who had her tongue pierced. She talked like one of Terry Pratchett's gargoyles for about a fortnight. 

    Just, why? eugh

    1. Double negatives, management buzzwords, saying "I'm good" as an answer to "how are you?", and various other grammar incidents.

    2. Dead birds, dead frogs, dead mice (thank you cats). 

    My garden and I live in South Wales.

     And don't you just love the patients who tell you they're needle phobic, and when you see them undressed, they're covered in tattoos and piercings?

    The crunch snails make when you accidently stand on them trying to walk up the garden path on a rainy night.

    how about , the overuse of the word amazing? Especially when it's pronounced amaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazing.

    Jamie Oliver is very fond of it, as were virtually all the presenters on Spring watch.

    Chris " what an amazing, amazing, amazing animal"

    Micheala ( I think ) Amazing, yes , really amazing"

    Watch out for it if you haven't already spotted it. It's endemic.

    I stand on snails on purpose and find the crunch quite satisfying.
