    Nothing too spectacular from me with the inclusion of the substituting "was like" for "said".


    But what really really bugs me is "it's not rocket science" for something deemed simple.

    Tell all the Bohs you know
    that we've gone and won two-in-a-row
    and it's not gonna be three
    and it's not gonna be four
    it's more likely to be 5-1.

    The most annoying phrase of the last few weeks is:

    "It's a disgrace that fans are being forced to spend thousands of pounds to go to Moscow"

    ...people who...
    "...are supposed to be...". There's some doubt? They've rebelled and become award winning pastry chefs instead?

    Played a Blinder..Whats that mean?
    If you're in the penalty area and don't know what to do with the ball, put it in the net and we'll discuss the options later

    Thanks stann, took you the full day to sort that out..

    What about "had a stormer", would that be like "playing out of you skin"

    No, just that believe it or not I'm not on here all day every day.
    I see I'll have to put a on everything from now on too.




    BTW, in case you were being serious with your "what does that mean", blinding is a term frequently used in the UK, particularly in London (you'd hear it a lot on Fools and Horses for example), meaning outstanding or spectacular. It possibly derives from the idea of an object so bright or shiny (and thus spectacular) that it blinds, and it's easy to see how 'played a blinding game' became 'played a blinder'.

    Another footie one. Anyone else getting sick of the constant references by commentators to teams "Asking questions" of one another ? e.g Chelsea are asking a lot of questions of Man U now. Gives me visions of one player going up to another and whispering in his ear "What's the capital of Columbia ?"
    Out for a spell, got neglected, lay on the bench unselected.
