I hate it when people bastardise the English language whilst trying to appear edumacated. For instance there is a council erosion sign in the dunes at Agnes Water referring to Dunal rehabilitation.

What the fark is wrong with dune rehabilitation? Why does it have to be flowered up ffs!

Same thing with trialling. What the fark is trialling. It is a made word which has become a part of the language when in actual fact it means nothing. The word is trying. When you try something you perform a trial. That is why when a person is in the dock in court he is being tried, not trialled. Next thing you know people will be talking about triallding something.

And when you hear people talking and every second word is "like". What is that?

It's like they have to keep talking or their audience will take the floor so they have this word which they can insert ad nauseam like you know what I mean?

People who slow down as they approach green traffic lights.

Depends on the intersection.

Green means it is your turn to go, it doesn't mean it is safe.

The bastards usually slow just in case it goes orange.

Racist pricks.

Go to a third world and you meet some really nice people living tough lives, then come back here and see bogan racist pricks (who procreate without thinking) mooching of a system...... Let's trade them.

OK, but unless you're already speeding you should be able to proceed with caution without slowing down. Too many people like to slow down for green lights just in case it goes orange - if you do that all you're doing is giving the bloody things longer to change orange! It becomes a self full-filling prophecy.

Round here the red light cameras also act as a speed camera so even going through on the green you can be pinged.

What were the people on the bus thinking? It's not her fault she's French.
Some people have no sympathy.

I'm willing to bet that they wouldn't have been nearly as brave if the frenchie was a bloke.
Makes me so angry every time I see these idiots.
They really need to be named and shamed; anyone found out who they are?
