[Gooner Girl]

It must be hard work remaining constantly on high alert for the chance to be a complete pedant about ANY topic

Must be hard work following thebish around the board to try and get little digs at him in, any time you can...

[Lord Kangana]

The reward outweighs the risk.

What's a step change?!

it's bollox - that's what it is! It's the word every politician and official uses nowadays instead of "change" - to imply that the change is to a whole new level as yet undiscovered!

It's not bollox. It's a term used to describe a radical change.
Imagine a graph of say, the level of VAT on a month by month basis. Last year it was level at 17.5% then in January it jumped up to 20%, then is steady at that level.
The graph would look like a step in profile. A step change as opposed to a slow, gradual increase.

yeah - but this is the irrational angry thread - so ner!

and - what she was describing was a slow gradual increase - so double ner!

Been years since I last had a ner and then two come along at once. It's like Christmas and birthday rolled into one.

Just got the taxi home from my mate's house...halfway through the journey, the cabbie just pulls over and initiates a full blown conversation on his mobile! Wouldn't have minded terribly if it was important but it really wasn't [/eavesdrop]

Not really angry about it, but...

Cookery programmes in the morning. I've just watched a load of people eating Shepherds Pie.

And now I really want Shepherds Pie myself.

That's why I put this in the angry thread, cos I shouldn't be wanting Shepherds Pie at this time...

Nor should I be wanting lemon meringue pie.

Nor should I be wanting risotto.

Mmmm - egg and bacon... Not on toast though!

Got to be a bacon sarnie with an egg on the side. No sauce.

Today it's the fact that I'm not a gambling man. On the weekend just gone there was horse race (flats) in which a superb horse named Black Caviar took part. Given that it's not every day that one can watch such an equine beauty perform I thought I'd watch the race on television. The said horse duly won after giving the leader something like five lengths advantage at the 200 mark to simply cruise by to win the race by three lengths to the second nag and another five lengths back to the third place getter. During all the razzmatazz preceding the race I made a mental bet on the 'trifecta' (that's picking the first three placings, in the right order, for those of you who are as ignorant as I am). Of course the reason for my not-very-serious angst is that I picked the trio correctly. Even on starting prices such a bet gave a return of 160:1.
