Surely it’s “why do a small minority..”

prob safer that way than lumping a whole group in together.

There are lots and lots who won’t mention once or even want to talk about it

No, it's make a sweeping generalisation and tar everyone with the same brush.

Now if only I could think who the poster is who loves to pick up others for making sweeping generalisations... :unsure:

Why do people who have been in the armed forces or police feel the need to mention it all the time ??‍♂️

Surely, it's simply 'some'!
I had a day as a guest of the Airline Pilots Golf Society and was teamed up with Retired Air Chief Marshall Sir Patrick Hine. I used my normal 'greeting' of 'Sir' to which he replied 'No no, just call me Paddy'. Great swing (and compny) but weird putting stroke - that he explained was his 'solution' to the yips!

He probably had a Messerschmitt or a Focke-Wulf twitch ?

Woke up this morning expecting light rain, according to the Windows weather app.
According to Netweather.TV said overnight snow.
We've got about an inch of the white stuff and still coming down
Windows weather app....removed

when your step daughter gets in at 3am, wakes you up and then you hardly sleep before getting up at 6.30 and getting ready for a full days work. If she's not working then she'll probably spend all day in bed

My random irritation for today is the people who think teachers have it easy.
My daughter is a primary school teacher and when you factor in the preparation and marking work it's often about 60 hours a week.
Yep. MrsA teaches secondary. She'll be working at home every day during the 2 week easter holiday, apart from the 2 or 3 days that she's actually going to to school to help kids who are behind with their practical work.

Automatic gear selectors in cars.
If you want to go backwards, you push the gear selector forwards and if you want to go forwards, you pull the gear selector backwards

My mate's 50th birthday pressie was a 9.10 tee time today at The Old Course.
He arrived on time to find the course was closed temporarily because of frost.
The course re-opened at 10 am but his tee time had been moved to 14.40 :eek:.
He is randomly irritated.
...and you weren't invited to join him? Some mate ;)
