Why I'm going to get it is because I'd rather not risk getting the flu in the first place. I can't see what I've got to lose or any real reason not to get the jab if I don't have to pay for it. But of whatever makes you happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted October 30, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted October 30, 2020 Going back to incorrect grammar or misuse of words... People who say “that was cringe”, when they mean “that was cringeworthy”. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm too young to be declared old by the NHS when I don a cloth cap and gloves to drive a car at 20 mph through a 40 zone , then I'll have a flu jab 5 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 This was the protest today in Warsaw: And the response on TVP (Polish BBC): Quote After the sentence #TrybunałKonstytucyjny the environment entered the streets of the capital #LGBT . They are strike force - trained, financed by the city of Warsaw, abroad, prepared for brawls. These people want power over our children and society as a whole. It's the gays again, training protesters and influencing children. I love it here but **** me, it is a mess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PussEKatt Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 A woman I know does not do Haloween but she takes her grand daughter to a different suburb to do trick or treat. FFS The way I see it is that she does do Haloween BUT only the taking part NOT the giving part.......Dipstick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted October 31, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted October 31, 2020 Just now, KenjiOgiwara said: Isn't that just an abbreviation? No, I think it’s just incorrect. Something that is cringeworthy causes someone to cringe. If they want to comment on something that is cringeworthy but only want to use the word cringe, the sentence should be “that made me cringe”. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted October 31, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted October 31, 2020 Another one: "That needs fixed" (and similar constructions). It's either "That needs fixing" or "That needs to be fixed". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 I’ve never heard that phrase either. One phrase I absolutely hate is what seems to appear more and more at the end of for sale listings... “need gone”. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People really can't be bothered to say "needs to be gone", or "needs to go"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
