TRO Saracen Oct 2012 2:23pm, 24 Oct 2012 6,880 posts	Quote Pin TRO Saracen The American presidential elections. F&&K me they've been at it for months, couple of years all told I think the whole thing is. Least ours, as painful as it is, is over and done with in about 5 weeks. And if that's not bad enough once the result is known there's another 3 months until they actually change over. Much prefer ours, loser out, winner in on the actual day itself.

Jason1969 Oct 2012 6:53pm, 24 Oct 2012 10,264 posts	Quote Pin Jason1969 My gears are ground by something that I don't even know the name for. I'm going to have to call it Funky Spelling. I think it dates back to that Noddy Holder calling his records things like "Cum On Feel the Noize" He'd never get away with that nowadays. It seems to have spread all over the place and there's one in particular that's driving me bonkers. In Penryn, Cornwall, there is a kids soft play place called Raise the Roof. But they haven't spelled it that way, oh no. It's Raze the Roof. Funky Spelling. Burning down buildings since 1972.

Pretentious. And WRONG. Makes me wonder whether her knowledge of her medical specialism is to be relied upon.
