Michael-Roo Posted September 16, 2016 Posted September 16, 2016 Should any of us ever feel the urge to go out looking like a twat help is at hand….. https://www.theguardian.com/fashion/gallery/2016/sep/16/supersize-me-the-menswear-trend-for-oversized-fashion-in-pictures Quote
Rob Posted September 16, 2016 Posted September 16, 2016 The Grauniad always manages to express itself badly. Obviously branching out from its home turf of a near monopoly on spelling mistakes. Apparently the preferred newspaper of the teaching professions........................... God help us. Quote
Nick Posted September 16, 2016 Posted September 16, 2016 I never knew that looking like a fashion victim was so expensive... Quote
azda Posted September 16, 2016 Posted September 16, 2016 You have to laugh at the prices for that sh*t Quote
Rob Posted September 16, 2016 Posted September 16, 2016 You can get the featured cleaning sign for 11.99 + vat from Viking. http://www.viking-direct.co.uk/catalog/search.do?Ntt=cleaning+sign&N= That would be a far better fashion accessory to wear stood outside the car wash. Quote

Moreover, how many people would actually know that wearing clothes massively too big for you, was a fashion. As you say, you'd just look like a complete tool wearing them. 4 hours ago, Rob said: The Grauniad always manages to express itself badly.

Can't abide that condescending, sneering leftie rag. Quote

Private Eye recently highlighted what must be the ultimate two letter word misprunt from the Grauniad website - 'Are you going to vote to leave the UE(sic) or not?' Thinking about it, they might have also written my mobile's predictive text software. Every time I tried to write 'no' it corrected it to 'on' - this despite the fact that a significant proportion of texts are questions, many of which require a simple yes or no answer. Somewhat fewer can be answered with on or off. Quote

Somewhat fewer can be answered with on or off. Another irritating facet of modern life - predictive text. Fortunately the latest phones/tablets will auto "correct" the first time you type in a word it disagrees with. But when you delete the replacement and re-type your original, it will hold, and the next time you start the same sequence of words, it will show your word at the top for selection, having remembered it.

PWA 1967 Posted September 17, 2016 Posted September 17, 2016 The irratating fact of modern life is people have forgot how to talk. Everyone sending texts and emails is my big ............ 1 Quote
Nick Posted September 17, 2016 Posted September 17, 2016 If not required, predictive text can be easily turned off. Quote

Now I can happily hold myself responsible for my own mistakes, as opposed to thinking I have written something which on examination is complete and utter b****cks. Quote
