I really hate B.C.E and C.E instead of B.C and A.D. Let?s just sort out our uncomfortable perceptions of the past with stupid euphemisms. Why not burn the history books while you?re at it.


It makes about as much sense as:

Most of the days of the week are named after old Germanic gods. Today is Thor?s day. Thor is the thunder god of a historically dominant culture and is not fully representative of our current society so any further use of Thursday is clearly discriminatory and must cease this instant.

Reminds me of a paper written by someone from somewhere that I heard about somehow, entitled:


Consequences of Erudite Vernacular Utilized Irrespective of Necessity

Not sure if it really qualifies as a euphemism, or if it's just cliche mixed with ellipsis, but "end of" used on its really gets my goat - as in "He's sacked. End of." I don't mind if people say "end of story" which I am guess was the origin of the phrase, but "end of" along? No. Please.


On the positive side, a mate used to have an entry on his CV for a period as a "Client Relocation Manager" - bouncer, to you and me.

    • Hope all the ‘high streets for people’ events went well! Very short notice probably for people living in the area and on a very hot day!  James McAsh just doesn’t know what to do next with Southwark Council Tax payers money. He advocates the few streets in the area that has a bus service and then shuts the routes down! Very annoying for people who want to go about their daily business and have already had restrictions brought in by McAsh. 
    • Thank goodness for Greg. I had an awful situation whereby I was notified that water was leaking from my flat into the flat below me. I was 150 miles away at the time and had a panicked journey home not knowing what I was going to face.   I called Greg (after seeing reviews on the forum) as soon as I arrived home in the evening and he arrived just after 10pm and was able to shut off the problem. He had to come back to finalise the job which turned out to be caused in a communal area whereby there was a blockage in the stack pipe.   Greg worked quickly, efficiently and informed me every step of the way as to what he was doing and why. He also cleaned up really well afterwards.  Greg's charges are very reasonable and he will definitely be my "go-to" if I have any other plumbing issues in the future.
