Latest Moan From You and Me 2024

Aha, @shiney, I thought it was solely my Canuck keyboard trying to convince me to join up to become the 51st state!

I forgot to mention my moan regarding baseball hat wearers. I cannot stand the look of someone wearing a baseball hat with their hood pulled up over it. It's just a little foible of mine. Wear a cap or the hood, not both please!

At least they can't wear the hat back to front with a hood..

 

I don't know, at least there's some point to that. They want to keep their head and neck extra warm whilst also protecting their eyes from the sun/rain. I never wear a hood because of their lack of a peak, I have to carry a hat with me instead.

The back to front thing does my head in though.

 

So; when did you realise that your radio was not going to respond.
Be interesting to try with Alexa or other "smart" speaker. It might come back with "Tis So"

 

@Philippa I find myself correcting spellcheckers when they don't recognise British English.

@Escarpment I'm like that with things like 'the government are".

I hate caps - not a lot more stupid looking than a baseball cap worn backwards - and don't wear hats cos they just slide off my smooth hair and don't suit my face. I do wear hoods tho - 25 years in Belgium with plentiful rain and with a hood I had 2 free hands for shopping or gardening and, for a while, pushing a pram.

 

I have a very small head so hoods usually hang right over my eyes. Until a strong gust of wind hits and blows them straight down again.

With hats, I have to get ones with a chin strap so I don't lose them in the wind, adult ones are never small enough. I need a peak to keep the rain off my glasses, otherwise I can't see a thing.

 

I dont understand the hood thing, you see teenagers with hoods all the time, dont think i could ever put up with them.
Hats make my head itch and never worn anything that has a hood.

Luckily I still have hair, I suppose if you dont have any it could be good to wear a hat, but most teenagers have it cut off.

Speaking from a male prospective of course.

 

So ()... I wear an anorak with a hood when it rains, and I've got a few nice warm coats with hoods for when it's cold, but I only put them up when I need to, and I don't wear a cap. I've still got plenty of thick wavy hair so I don't need one.
I've also got a tee shirt with a hood although I don't know why a tee shirt should have one, or why I would have bought it ... come to think of it I haven't worn it for a few years.

 

You cant start a sentence with "so".

 

So.......oh how I HATE this obssessive 'So' - ness we have to put up with.

It used to be 'Well.....' that started sentences.....which might have been pretty meaningless, but at least it was comfortably familiar. 'So...' sets my teeth on edge. It sounds so dreadfully fake and contrived somehow.

My old friend, on hearing the word 'So...' being used to preface a spoken sentence, would immediately interrupt with the tart expression, '...a button on your head....'.

Think about it.

 

Sorry, can I start a sentence with that, , but to be honest I've never understood why "so" needs to start a sentence but that's how people speak, you have to get over it.

Well, if you dont it will drive you crazy.

 

Sometimes I say 'well' but it's in the middle of a sentence, after a comma or a pause, e.g. "I bought a new cactus today ... well I liked it so I bought it"
But I don't start a sentence with it, or with 'SO' except in the above comment out of devilment, after reading some previous posts

 

Well, I quite liked 'well', back in ye olde dayes......and I'll continue to use it. So there.

 

Well, well, well.
That's three holes in the ground.
