How about this for a load of old tosh?

But one after the end of the third line would have been better.
And is it "DentistryForYou" or "dentistry for you"? Make up your mind!
Ah, but they delight me!

See threads passim - much beloved of me and Daron Fincham. I wait with trepidation to see whether further episodes will now be made, following the death of Andrew Nickolds , who co-wrote it with Christopher Douglas.

Shower and hand wash that is made from some sort of fiendish jelly, so a handful is immediately washed down the plughole as one big jellied blob before you can create any sort of lather. It's deliberate.

AR/VR headsets. Which dribbling mouthbreahter would seriously wear these? And I love how goobers like Zuckerberg think that is the future.
Anyway - there was a guy in the office one day wearing one saying how amazing it was because everything looked like it was 3D. I said "I can achieve the same effect by using my eyes without the googles. Look - 3D office - 3D co-workers - 3D nob wearing VR goggles. - same same - £500 cheaper"

Optics. As in "the optics of this are that..." instead of "this looks as if". From a BBC World News reporter a few days ago.
WTF...

They've been using that pompous phrase for years. I think they think it makes them seem more knowledgable.

That word has leaked here from the US where it was a strange piece of journalese and where it has been used for at least two decades.

In the gym this morning , one selfish bugger hogged the only pull down equipment for about 20 minutes and at least 15 of those minutes was spent looking at his bloody IPhone !!

I've never shied away from asking people to rotate between sets!
- Location

Sadly that happens everywhere these days. And a polite enquiry of 'are you using the machine?' generally gets a fierce 'YES!' reply, and they go back to staring at their phone...

Hence, "Hi there. Would you mind rotating between sets?". Always gets a yes unless the person is about to finish anyway.

Optics really works for me. It’s more elegant and succinct than the more mealy-mouthed alternatives.

You know someone's just spewing corporate drivel when they don't even realise they've got the word 'performance' in their sentence twice, albeit a couple of days apart! They say the staff are smiling but it looks like a rictus grin to me. Then again, getting their patients to read this might save them money on anaesthetic...
