In all the years I was at sea – 15 – we always called the ship we were on, or in if you were poncy – a boat. Just saying.
An hotel instead of a hotel, after you only use 'an' if the object it refers to starts with a vowel. And so on…..
PC – I don't do PC, for goodness sake, say it as it is. If you are short you are short, not vertically challenged.
Being told I must say "having an ageist moment" instead of "having a Senior Moment". The former is an insult, the latter – I am taking the piss out of myself, and I'm happy to do that. If I don't then someone else will!!
As well as disliking "like" every other word the inability for the young young to describe anything without saying "you know" every other word. If I knew I wouldn't be asking, you know?!
++ for most of the other grumps on here.
All lives matter, not only ones of a certain colour.
People who insist on talking through and commenting on a programme when I am trying to watch and listen to it, and then asking what happened/what did he say…….. If you had shut up, watched and listened, you wouldn't need to ask.
Snowflakes complaining about everything instead of just getting on with life, accepting what will be will be, and what was still is what was and always will be as you can't change history, life is how you find it and cope with it and doing what has to be done; how would they have coped when times really were tough and hard, like living through WW2 (not that I did, but then, I don't complain but just "keep buggaring on" as Winston used to say.).
I could go on and on but you get the drift. I have the tee shirt "Founding Member of The Grumpy Old Mans Club" and proud to wear it.
