Today I'm angry about.....

[Bruce Rioja]

It's not nice calling someone a Twampersand Brucie.

Narr then. Recently one of the Danes that I deal with, whose young son is learning English, asked me for the proper name for '@', and other than for 'the at sign' I drew a blank. '&' is an ampersand.

Let the debate roll.

[bobo the clown]

Angry ? Well, maybe fckg annoyed ... at myself. I was cutting carrots into baton shapes these evening, with a super sharp Japanese knife. It slipped off one of the carrots and decided to try to shorten my finger by a couple of cm.

Shouldn't blood stop eventually ?

In this part of the world (Francophonie) it is an 'arobase' but I don't think any English equivalent is generally accepted

[bobo the clown]

I've seen "ampersat" but suspect it was a made up word to suit.

[malcd1]

There appears to be lots of names in other languages but just known as "at" in English.

The most common seems to be Puppy, Snail or my favourite Monkey Tail.

It is obviously a twirly-A. I will accept no other word for it.

Oh, actually you're right is it the "&" that's the ampersand....

A bloke I know once tested the sharpness of his pruning shears by removing his little finger. Unlike you, he went the whole-hog and fully removed at the bottom knuckle. Whilst a collection of wannabe First-aiders experimented at failed finger tourniquets etc, his wife did the sensible thing of hunting for the missing digit and plunged it into a bowl of ice from the fridge. She then did the unsensible thing of leaving the bowl on the kitchen table to go and sort out her screaming husband and the now hordes of First-aiders swarming about him. Meanwhile their Labrador, who really likes ice treats, finished off the full bowl complete with tasty meaty surprise. The bloke I know, surprisingly, lived through the entire episode, and his finger did stop bleeding eventually. Unfortunately the stump never grew back a new finger and he has to make do with seven fingers and two thumbs... but he's surprisingly cheerful, and his Lab still gets the occassional iced treat.
I'm telling you this, Bobo, just in case the bleeding hasn't stopped yet - it will.

[Gooner Girl]

First world problems - but why is it that just after I leave the kitchen with my cup of tea and sit back upstairs by the pc the tumble dryer starts annoying bleeping and won't shut up til I go back to the kitchen and turn it off.

[Abdoulaye's Twin]

Itwats. Can't get away from the ignorant tossers. Why do they have to watch crap at full volume near me? I'm just waiting for the ecig to be lit now. Unfortunately he's on my flight. I know this as he's announced it very loudly on his other itwat device

AT you appear to have Spotto Syndrome - there's no cure, it just gets worse I'm afraid.

Hedging your bets there a bit, Dan

[bwfcdan94]

It not as bad as some of the laces I have ranted about. In fact I think according to the government figures Liverpool is apparently nicer than Manc-chester. TBH though both have opportunity and compared to the likes of Hull they are lagging in the race to be England s8*t**t city.

Sat in front of me he was. Unfortunately not the sort of seat you can grab the seat back and pull yourself up, or I'd have exacted some revenge, every time he was dropping off to sleep

£10 to replace a lost membership card? Its just a bit of plastic. Arsenal FC you are robbing me blind.

You pay about a grand a year to watch a bunch of pansies fall over, yet complain about a tenner

[boltonboris]

Do they not call them season tickets anymore?
