Useless things to say

[Brad McEachern]

No offence, but [something very offensive]......

Yeah same here. Just because you begin the sentence by saying "No offence" or "With all due respect", doesn't mean it makes it ok to be a [Poor language removed].

The one that always got me when I would be at a football match or a hockey game and everyone in the stands would yell SHOOOOOT!!! when the home team has the ball/puck.

There's five people in front of the net clogging it up, he shoots and it easily gets intercepted by the opposition, moron.

I've told you a million times to stop exaggerating.

"he gave it 110%"

No he never.. It's not possible .

"Teaching grannie to suck eggs"

I know what it means, but I have no idea why it means what it means. I had two grans (guess most have!), and I never ever saw either of them doing it. Sucking eggs that is.

It is. 110% of 10 is 11.

And if it was impossible, no sprinting records would ever be broken by the same bloke. If you think about it.

 

[McBain]

You know what I mean.

@Eggs can you explain yourself?

@Eggs can you explain yourself?

....there are lots of sayings about Eggs that are written into folklore but this is one that might be better left unexplained or defined in another well read thread.

At the till in the Asda with a shopping trolley full of food

'would you like some bags'

Nope, my pockets are designed to carry a 6 pint milk I'll be sound.

You could bring your own like, Mr planet-killer.

Not quite. You can have increases of 110%, but you cannot have 110% of a fixed or determined amount.

11 is not 110% of 10. Such a statement simply does not exist.

I hate this, and the 3 or 4 coupons they give you in Sainsburys after every purchase!
