There were only two other people in the carriage when a lady got on and proceeded to sit right next to me. She soon moved when I started to have one of my epic sneezing episodes

Yes I would like a cup of coffee thanks but if you are going to take a week to make it I'll just do it myself. Standing in a queue at cash points or ticket machines while the person using it stares blankly at the screen with their stupid bovine face trying to figure out which button to push. Except for old people. That's ok.

Fravage Oct 2012 1:24pm, 29 Oct 2012 55 posts	Quote Pin Fravage The increasing use of the phrase "reach out to" instead of "contact". It's a) bullshit, and b) takes longer to say than the word it's replacing. My immediate boss is a big fan of it, and I've just read a memo from our CEO that uses it and therefore gives carte blanche to all the other bullshit merchants to spray it around willy-nilly ("going forward", no doubt).
