The thought of having to wear a suit to my job interview in Manchester tomorrow. In 32 degree heat. 2.5 hour train journey beforehand in similar heat peeing me off just as much. God knows what impression I'm going to make. Going to look like a participant in some weird wet t-shirt competition.

Why don’t you travel in something more comfortable and get changed at the train station or a changing rooms in a department store nearby?

Why not travel in shorts/tee shirt and take your suit/shirt tie in a suit bag. When you get to the interview, get changed into your suit and stand out from the crowd

Laura Kuenssberg - what a load of utter drivel she spouts.

Golf related this time.

1) Playing a new course and asked by my PP where do we go next? FFS

2) Large sign on the way onto the course and at the first tee 'Place Rakes IN Bunkers', only to find the opposite whilst playing, and we followed a members competition.


3) One more...... Both players off 18 hc, get on the tee and PP asks, what;s the stroke index? Does it matter we get a shot a hole

LOL - same as it ever was

I happily lap up her drivel (though can I say that?)

The word marmite as in 'golf is like marmite - you either love it or hate it.'
This ridiculous metaphor now finds it way into the vocabulary of BBC presenters.
Needs to be red carded.
What other words make you wince?

'Literally', it literally makes my head explode when people use it inappropriately.

Twaddle.

"Crash out". England crash out of the World Cup. Andy Murray crashes out of Wimbledon. Not a hint of a collision.

Wintry.
No such word in my world ................................. it's wintery, end of.

Completely wrong. Both are words but your preferred spelling is the lesser used one.

 

[Kellfire]

"Crash out". England crash out of the World Cup. Andy Murray crashes out of Wimbledon. Not a hint of a collision.

Crashing is not necessarily synonymous with a collision.

People who equate their own lack of knowledge as being an error by someone else.

There's nothing better/worse than.....

I can assure you I can think of something 1000 times better/worse......
