People answering the phone by saying "Go".


People (usually teens on the bus) saying bare this and bare that, meaning lots of this and lots of that.

Example "Man he was giving me bare jokes", which I think means he was making me laugh a lot.


One more little gripe, which isn't about a phrase, but rather an accent. The other day, there were a group of local 18-20 year olds in the pub, all white, and most looking like they're from comfortable backgrounds. Most of them nice guys, but they all spoke with this stupid kind of lazy "you knw dat broooo" sort of lingo/accent. Very very annoying.

Not forgetting, "But the important point is..." when they want to steer the conversation to whatever bit of spin will help them avoid answering the question.


The one that really irritates me is when, following some catastrophe or monumental cock-up, they trot out the old "Lessons must be learned" line. Especially as they never are.

"People answering the phone by saying "Go". "


I've not heard that, but that's horrible!!! Spaniards answer the phone by going "speak!" which I've always thought rather brusque, but it's very normal and not rude there.


As for the last point, totally with you on that.

I put the following on another thread (about Foxtons surprise surprise). It was when Dems, Dani and I got the old Barry Road flat.


I remember when myself and 2 friends were in one of the LL estate agents to get the keys to a flat we were renting. The helpful and nice girl we'd been dealing with was off that day, so we had to deal with Miles (says it all). We were talking to Miles when his mobile rang. He put his hand up to us to stop us talking, took the mobile out of his pocket, threw a foot up on to his desk, and answered his mobile with "Go".


All 3 of us had to turn away and look out the window so as not to blatantly laugh in his face! Gold.


They are out there mate!

I have seen a chap walk over to a girl on the train, pluck the phone out of her hand and throw it out of the window. She was rightly shocked and yes, it was wrong, but when looking around for support all she saw were approving glances, including mine.

Lol! Speaking of phones and slightly coming off the subject (as usual) was on a train when a young guy was speaking very loudly into his phone about company projections, profit marjins, well, the usual self important twaddle, when his phone actually started ringing, it was a classic and I have never seen anyone go so red so quickly! made the whole coach laugh at him! idiot!

I don't know if this story is true, but I remember hearing years ago when mobile phones were still quite new, a story of a man chatting away on his mobile whilst on the train. The story goes that someone was taken ill, and when their friend approached this man asking him to call for help, and eventually grabbed his phone off him, it was a toy.


Can't even remember who told me that, and it may be total bo!!ocks, but to be honest, I can believe it, and Lizzy's story just reminded me of it.


Aaaaanyway, back to annoying phrases. Just asked Mrs Keef, and she said it really gets her when people interrupt with "I'll stop you there", which I have to agree, is rather obnoxious.

Back in the proto-mobile phone dark ages (1994?), when I was an editorial assistant on Connexion magazine, the editor was late as he'd witnessed an accident. A small crowd had gathered and someone pulled out a chunky cell phone and started talking about this terrible accident he'd seen. When people obviously clicked and said "why the hell aren't you phoning an ambulance?" his face fell and he was forced to come clean that it was a fake.

What a tw@t!!!

We couldn't stop laughing when Ken got back and told us the tale though!

      Bin lorry overturned, Townley Road

      I’m not sure that would have been any consolation had anyone have been on the pavement at the time it tipped.

      At least it can't/shouldn't have been going very fast, if it was turning a corner?

      It always amazes me how people choose to live near a pub which is already there, and then make life difficult for the pub because of noise! So it's great that Lulark is checking it out beforehand! Hoopers (R.I.P.) had the same problem. People moved in next to the pub and then complained about noise .... People have different thresholds for noise, so probably the best thing would be to go to the house  at different times of the week/day/evening and see whether the noise level is acceptable to you inside (if possible) and outside the  house (in the garden, if it has one?)? You could also ask the pub what events (if any) they hold during the week, and check out the size of their garden? Noise from the garden will obviously be more in the Summer and when the weather is fine. You could also ask them if they have had any complaints about noise from nearby residents? I imagine they would be happy to tell you, because they won't want anyone else moving in who is likely to cause them grief 😅 Also, they may have a time after which people have to be inside the pub rather than in the garden, so you could ask them about that. Gowlett Road is a nice area to live (and the pub is also a nice friendly pub!) . Good luck!

      I'm guessing it must have been early. I passed about 7:30 and there was no signs of police or ambulance only the recovery truck.  My guess is that the bin lorry was approaching from the JAGS direction, heading down the hill, turned right, overcooked it and tipped.  Hopefully no one was seriously injured though I imagine those in the lorry must been hurt.
