islingtonclaret Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 I had never heard of "Black Friday" until yesterday. We're so pathetic these days that we find another cultural bomb of an export to copy. Why is the Mail doing this article as if it's perfectly normal and we expect these scenes every 'Black Friday'? Or for that matter, why the Daily Mail just in general? Don't worry, it's not just the UK that's pathetic. The rest of the English-speaking world is too. I used to think we wrote the dates the way we do (or used to) because, although everyone knew the US did it the other way around, that was them and this was us. Then, overnight (or so it seemed to me) it all changed because people heard the WTC attacks being referred to as "September 11" and thought "Oh, that's the new way of saying dates". Well, no, it's an old time-honoured AMERICAN way of saying dates. Same with stuff like "the president travelled to London Tuesday". ON Tuesday, dammit. Yes, I know, I should get over it. I have previously mentioned both of those American English traits creeping into the UK. It drives me absolutely nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrackpotForeigner Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Why does a dead body feel so much heavier to lift than when they were alive Don't know. But it's not all bad news: They don't put up nearly as much of a fight when you saw them into small pieces, thankfully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted December 2, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted December 2, 2013 I find as long as you grab the arms and the legs at once and use proper form, dead bodies are pretty easy to move. It's the concrete block to tie to their feet that I find the hardest to transport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
