What is hacking you off today?

[Mad Cyril]

Dog has just chewed up the Amazon Fire Stick remote including battery.

Vet has given him the all clear..

What's hacking me off? Unreasonable I know but...
The increasing use of "You know what...?" and "Ya know wha' I mean?" I have a friend who says this a lot. Irritating.

They're even more common that "Well, basically".

The one that annoys me is "i'm not gonna lie". Gives the impression that everything else that person says that is not said with "i'm not gonna lie" is a lie.

Years ago I went on a negotiation skills course. The guy taking the course used to talk about what he called lexical leakage, i.e. saying things you don't need to. One of the things he said was never to use terms like that, including "to be honest" because it will give the impression that you're less than honest.

That sounds like a Cambridge/Oxford University high sociaty baffoon who carried out years of extensive research to come to that opinion, who's not in touch with the real World.

It actually isn't, it makes very good sense. When negotiating you have to avoid those sort of phrases for the very reasons given.

In negotiation maybe, but within the wider picture of the UK, many people use that phrase when they talk to people, myself included.

Not really a rant, more of a question. My last service provider went up the wall (I'm guessing) and I'm now with OVO (not my choice) and they've stopped 3 monthly bills for monthly ones...

Anyone in the same boat and how are you finding monthly bills? It's all a bit new to me from 3 monthly.

Incorrect. He was a very successful government negotiator. Some of the first hand stories and examples he gave us were fascinating.

Went to the cinema last night to see the new Matrix. Booked tickets online with me doing all the work but was charged £0.75 per ticket for a "Booking Fee".

New Samsung 5G mobile for Mrs RHB, phone is fine, explaining it all is definitely not!

Mason Greenwood. Absolute scumbag. It looks like the alleged photos and recordings are real, allegedly. He sounds so entitled when demanding sex from his ex. He beat her up and punched her in the face leaving a swollen lip bleeding a lot. Lots of body bruises as well, probably from long time physical abuse, allegedly.

Have you seen the statement from the girls father?

I’d go to prison if someone did that to my daughter!

Its ****ing vile, humans don't cease to amaze and disgust me sometimes

 

[Cricko]

What an odd statement from the father.

Greenwood what a scumbag

 

[Massimo Giovanni]

I thought that too. I am guessing the father was defending the daughter by trying to date the relationship as starting before Greenwood became the "famous" footballer star mega money dirtbag.
In doing so he is, perhaps, suggesting that she was attracted to the person, not the personna of wannabe WAG?
Do you think Ryan Giggs set bird bashing low, ever so low, standards that Manure youngsters are aspiring to imitate?

 

[blueblueblue]

Anyone who beats up women is a scumbag.

 

[The Big Dady]

Mason Greenwood has now been arrested by Greater Manchester Police on suspicion of rape and assault,
