Protect your HUMAN RIGHTS and REFUSE ANY *MANDATORY* VACCINE FOR COVID-19!
Also **SAY NO** to unjust 'vaccine passports' or certificates, which are totally incompatible with a FREE society!!!
VERBING: the use of nouns as verbs!!!
For example, PODIUMED (achieving a place on the winner's podium)
Yes, it is nothing new, but some of the recent introductions do grate!
Crafting, antiquing, and so forth ....
This is disgusting!

The grammar is appalling - it's either an empty vodka bottle, or it contains vodka, but an empty bottle of vodka cannot grammatically exist

Common sense isn't anymore!
'Please would you send it to ourselves?'
'We sent it to yourselves'
This for me is the worst thing ever and you see it all the time nowadays. Thick people without clue trying to sound 'professional' and instead making themselves look like even bigger morons than they actually are.
I've taken people to task over this at work on a number of occasions, some of them were actually so dumb as to argue that I was wrong! Just unbelievable.

I'm joe.
Having dropped off my usual delivery in New Alresford I went to the public conveniences. On the floor was a jobby, a large jobby I have to say. Yes on the floor when there was a pan provided for taking a crap. What the feck is wrong with some in society? So finding it on the floor is deeply unpleasant.
