an apology followed by a 'but'

I don't think I've ever heard an apology that hasn't been followed by 'but'

"with all due respect"

I have always apologised with sincerity and unconditionally. Otherwise what's the point?

Ms Debaser, once trying to pre-empt and stop an apology from me, still got one.

"My apologises. I was wrong."

If you can't apologise, be open and sincere and mean it, without quantifying it, then it's meaniless. Don't even bother.

*shudder* oooh, that's never a good one...

Better than no apology at all... or one that's just the word "sorry" tripping out of someone's mouth even though they're not...

...maybe . Or maybe it's all pretty s**t and the only solution is alcohol, hitting things and listening to some very good music very loud .

with all due respect, Laibach made some reet naff platters

Eggsakkerly - if you have to 'but' it then you don't mean it and we don't need to hear it.

There was a man sitting on the church wall outside where I work holding a sign that said "All you need is love" today

hate to say it Libby, but I think he might be closer to a real truth, than I am

I will be seeing you + Paul in Oktober and many other friends old and new

a personal favourite of mine when then proceeding to be highly offensive.

I always liked 'I'm sorry you feel that way'. Make it clear that someone's bad feeling is entirely their fault.

If you deliver it with enough chutzpah people think you've apologised and feel better, without me having to compromise towards people who don't necessarily deserve it.

Naturally, when I'm wrong ... I just apologise. When someone else is wrong I just can't be bothered ....

Or its partner, "I'm not being cheeky but..." Very Glasgow that one.

"In my humble opinion..." when the opinion is anything but humble.

I've always though, "Hello. I'm Timsinister" sounded a bit like an apology.

...seeing not one, but two meerkats dancing on top of each other

Just scroll the page and you'll see wot I mean
