Not wanting to sound like a whinging killjoy but can people stop using the above phrase please? Its been used far too much, and it doesn't necessarily improve your argument one way or t'other.

Yes. I've woken up in a BAD MOOD and this displacement activity helps relieve it!

For those of you unfamiliar with Family Guy, the answer is "Go tuck yourself in",

Aaah, that bit was really tiny type!

@ Rafster - I don't think you'll get lambasted for this, although the phrase doesn't bother me that much. Hope that your BAD MOOD lightens up a bit though. :wink:

You're right. It's just a sad bit of hero worship. 'Pathetic' is the right word for it.

It is pretty sad.

Is it alright to say "Go, and indeed, figure," though. 'Cos I think I have done that... :oops:

Much more intensely annoying to me is when someone makes an oblique or somewhat cryptic comment, and then punctuates it with a :von: smiley in place of a full stop. Yeeees, well done, you've now appropriated all of Our Fearless Leader's icy cynical cool :roll:

Although there are occasional flashes elsewhere, the tension is fortunately usually limited to General Chat. Make of that what you will. By no means a dying light.

The sign simply read "Please do not feed the trolls."

I thought by "dying light" he meant the shorter days :?:

Not HL itself. Good grief. No, nay, never!

Hm, on second reading, I guess that is a more logical reading. :oops: I hope that that is what James meant.

Z'acktly what I meant Martin, I believe Claire can testify to these shorter days, even with an unusually warm October. :|

I hate "go figure" too and I also hate when people at work say to me by way of a greeting "hello you!"

I have a name and it's even printed on my name badge as you have obviously forgotten
