Hello all,
Have you noticed how infectious certain sayings are?
There's two at the moment that are driving me crazy. One is the tendency of everyone, regardless of profession etc to add to the end of what they had to say either of these two quotes :
:"moving forward"
"Going forward".
I have to ask. IS THERE ANY OTHER DIRECTION WE CAN MOVE IN, IN OUR LIVES? No there isn't so of course it is a superflous and nonsense comment to make. These sayings breed and spread like wildfire until people do not even know what they are saying and have no idea why they do say it. Moving forward? Try moving backwards in your life. Unless you possess a TARDUS you cannot do it.
The last one was "ABSOLUTELY" which was said by so many for so long no one even noticed it was being said. But it was supposed to make you certain of "something". I was only certain that they had brains full of air and nothing to say.
Then, for football followers the latest expression, used by every single one of those morons is "He lowered his eyes" and kicked to another player.
How the fuck do you lower your eyes? Medical operation on the spot? What they should say is simply "He found his best option and tried to kick to that. Lowered hie fucking eyes indeed!!!!
Their last one of note was "He's got fast legs". That, is insanity because what it implies is that his legs moved faster than the rest of his body. Which can only end in tragedy. Head pile driven into the ground or a separation of legs and the rest of his body. Don't these people EVER think.
Then, if you follow the Ashes cricket on the radio the commentators are terrifying. Sure I could watch the TV coverage but they have the Channel 9 commentators on and they are the worst of the lot. Ian "Doctor" Healy, who never found a silence he couldn't fill with inanities, usually talking about how wonderful he was.
But no, the radio coverage does terrify me. I used to love listening to the cricket from Pommie Land at night. It was a boyhood habit and they had quality commentators back then.
Now I hop into bed and turn the radio to hear "Blowers" talking to "Tuffers" and rarely mentioning the score.
Blowers is Henry Blofeld and he went on for three days about being bombarded by a swarm of gulls who all shat on him. Truly. I don't know that he ever played cricket but his accent is all "two silly boys in a cupboard doing things to each other" if you know what I mean.
"Tuffers" is actually Phil Tuffnell who may well be the worst fielder to ever set foot on a Test match field. He was hopeless and laughter was the common reception he received. He was an OK spin bowler but he gave away more runs than he ever saved.
Why is this life so full of shit? And why don't people like those described above even dare to appear in public. Best they could ever do is go neck themselves.
