    that Kylie song always reminds of a bar we used to go to in Koh Samui.  They had a live band doing cover versions every night, and they always did that one. Happy Memories

    There's an advert running on Lyric FM (Ireland's answer to Classic) wich invites me to "revisit Northern Ireland again".   :|

    It’s like pre-booking and pre-ordering; I don’t get that.

    Many years ago, my ex hubby took someone to task over something similar @BenCotto, when he was buying concert tickets. He was told there was a 'booking fee'. His reply was 'I'm not booking them though - I'm buying them....' 
    I can't remember what happened, but I think he was of the opinion that it was just another money making exercise. It still exists, as far as I'm aware.  :/

    I don't get that either. It really galls me to have to pay a 'booking fee'.

    I don't have a problem with this word, but I'm irritated by the increasingly common pronunciation of DISSECT.  I'm sure it should be pronounced Diss-sect, not Dye-sect.  The double S is there for a reason... it's from the latin, "dissecare", meaning to cut into pieces.  BISECT, on the other hand, has one S, and is therefore Bye-sect - to cut in two...

    Perhaps I'm just easily irritated...   :|
