What, and might I enquire where, the f*ck is that being said/written?
I get random job vacancies emailed to me by Linkedin, all of which are totally irrelevant and are usually deleted without being read. This morning though I noticed a company that operates in an associated field are advertising a position and made me curious, so I read it as far as - "Applicants must be people fluent....".

I think you should find out the address of these people, go to it, and give them a severe rebuking.

In a totally unrelated pissed off moment, I noted on the BBC's very own website the other day the use of 'theres' instead of 'theirs'. And it wasn't a quote. I don't know why it irks me so, but...

Fair enough. :-) I think you've been conditioned to assume use of the word "bird" as being pejorative. When I were a lad, it was used interchangeably with girlfriend and by both men and women. I've also heard plenty of conversations from women over the years where they clearly weren't discussing a bloke's mental capacity. Apparently that should make us feel really cheap.

Is it still ok to call a bloke, a bloke, or is that passe too?
Blokes are the new Guys.
That really does annoy me, "hey guys" says one woman to a 'bunch' of others in a film. Nooooooo.
[ then again 'girl' originally meant a young boy, bet you didn't know that].
I'm staying out of the argument since to me 'bird' and 'tart' had entirely different meanings and only the latter was pejorative. However, I believe 'girl' originally meant a child of either sex. I discovered this 40 years ago when reading Afferbeck Lauder's book Fraffly well spoken.

Bloke rents out flat on Airbnb and finds on his return that a Banksy worth £10,000 has been nicked.

Just heard a song, one that I've heard many many times... Best to last by Vanessa Williams. It's shit. But I've never knowingly actually listened to it. Just made the mistake of doing that... "Sometimes the sun goes 'raund the moon".

It doesn't in an orbital sense but it goes behind the moon when we get a solar eclipse. Does that count?

The UN can get fxcked: Assange is a fugitive not a victim.
The NI attorney general needs promoting: Equal rights laws are beyond incoherent, they actually discriminate in favour of oppressors. Stop the virtue signalling masses right now.
The LSE: They, and all the students who ride in her, can just get to 4ck, full stop.
The Saudi's can get to 4ck too: it's no good having pretend suffrage, you cxnts!

That does look incredibly badly photoshopped, but if true, chef is a dick. The Americans who "hunt" lions are bad, but Christ. What's he shot it with? Looks like Sunday's doner kebab.
