Speaking of definitions of now, a friend recently said to me, âIsnât it getting late earlier these days?â
I once worked with a lady who became famous for comments like that. Two of my favourites were "They were shoulder to shoulder from the waist up" describing a packed location she was at, and "I only need my glasses for seeing with" - she could read without them but couldn't see to drive without them.
Someone on the radio just said âwe need an elastic definition of ânowâ.â Â NO! Just broaden your vocabulary!!!Â
It wouldnât be so bad but they were from Ofqual!!!đ€Żđ€Ș

It shouldn't bother me as much as it does but I'd really like the Minister for Education to be able to pronounce the word "the" (aside from his more important recent failings!).
Right - enough moaning. Where's that paint brush!!!
From my sister in law âHe wants to pull his socks together.â âWhen I came out of the dentistâs I was on cloud cuckoo landâ
A particular favourite was a line in a play so it doesnât really count but said by a mad German scientist with Albert Einstein hair, âI vant you to be as quiet as pins. I vant to hear a mouse dropping.â
@wild edges - idiots on planes include the staff who did not enforce rules and airlines who think we're all stoopid.  As for raves, yes, all equipment should be seized and all takings too. Plus a huge fine.

Before takeoff the pilot should announce that in the event of passengers failing to abide by the rules the aircraft will land at the nearest available airport and offending passengers will be off loaded and banned from flying with the airline again. Actually carry the threat through a couple of times and it might concentrate minds.

And YES, again!
