    Should I get rid?
    No, you should get rid of it.

    I was sat there.
    Did someone place you there, then? You were seated there. Likewise stood/standing.

    Ask is a verb not a noun.

    Even better when they then go on to answer a completely different question - akin to 'the fact of the matter is' and then quote a non-fact that bears no relevance - or '..what you're really asking is...' and then answer whatever question they feel fit to dream up.

    Have we moved into phrases?
    How about '...off my own back...' or '...that really gets up my goat...'

    Laying on the bed! Laying what? Eggs? And tables! Otherwise, surely it should be lying?
