In the correct thread, I hope. a-hard-days-night-john-6 

*wonderingly* Wow, ASJ, how many dialects can you fit into one sentence?

I have the ‘Concert for George’ thread bookmarked for the occasion, don’t you worry.

 

Oh and you’d be surprised the amount of colloquial English rubbish I can shove into one sentence. I’m overexposed to American culture, I think but thankfully I still say aluminium correctly.

Although I change randomly from ye to y’all, I like y’all though-makes me feel like a Southern Belle

I like ye better– makes me feel like an ASJ  a-hard-days-night-george-9

I was one once, you know. a-hard-days-night-john-6

The irony of my existence is that I’m geographically a Southern belle, but colloquial-rubbish-ly English. And I try to shove Scouseness into everything. Yer know what I mean.

I’ve heard this a lot, particularly in the last few weeks, but it comes around with every general election:

“You should use your vote because people have died for the right to vote!”

No. I don’t go to church because some Christians were once fed to some lions. I should (and do) use my vote because politics matters, because it affects every sphere of life.

^ We have compulsory voting down here; with a fine possible if you don’t vote – though it is rarely levied; most folks who don’t vote get a warning if anything.

I think they fought for the right to be able to vote if you wanted to; endless ‘donkey’ votes or invalid votes don’t do much for the democratic process.

I understand why they fought for the right to vote, and wouldn’t ever denigrate that. But I think it’s a lousy reason why people should vote in the UK in the 21st century. Throughout history people have died for causes they felt passionate about, but that shouldn’t automatically mean we carry on practising what they did. We should do it because it’s worth it.

I’m torn on compulsory voting. I like that it’s optional, and there’s a hell of a lot of ignorance around the democratic process and party policies. At the very least there should be political education in the school curriculum, to help people engage and make informed decisions.

This was part of a conversation I saw on Facebook earlier today:

Well from what I understand if u don’t vote your vote goes to the conservatives??? I have no idea but any vote that’s against them is a good vote lol xxx

its a no win situation, ppl hated labour hence why conservative won the last election, now ppl hate the conservative! Ppl r just never happy! They should be happy that in this country we get Say!

Im gonna spend an hour after work tonite and do some homework on the parties b4 i vote as i dont kno a thing about politics!!

This is after approximately six weeks of campaigns, debates, party political broadcasts, leaflets and posters explaining the differences between the parties (although there’s been a lot of negative campaigning and FUD). Frankly I don’t mind if certain people don’t exercise their right to vote, because they’re clearly disengaged from the process.

Even I know about Labour and Tories, UKIP, The Green Party etc. and I’m not even British! And I can’t be arsed about politics either! I did vote here last time though.

Anyway, a pet peeve of mine is that when someone gets well known, all of a sudden everyone has known them for their whole lives and are their best friends. A girl I know has anorexia, and she made the national news and all blablabla and that’s a thing that happened. People who wouldn’t look at her in high school go ”oh I remember when we did this and that together, such a nice girl”. Not to be confused with genuine support of course.

 Here’s a strange one:

 

The word ‘several’.

 

What is several? Can you not give me a more specific number? Several can be 5-999,999,999,999 and so on and so forth. 

“Oh, I haven’t seen him in several months?”

So since when? I need to know!

Ah I appear to be mistake. The Oxford Dictionary defines ‘several’ as:

“More than two but not many”

 

The way people I know that use it mean hundreds a-hard-days-night-paul-7

Social etiquette/niceties.

I dont get it and i dont like it.

For some stupid reason if i cook someone dinner and yet dont follow up with pudding this is wrong!! I cooked dinner for feck sake, that should be enough for you to be happy, not that i dont have any ice-cream or piece of cake so its ruined. If you want pudding then bring your fecking own.

Someone sending me a card means that i am meant to send them one back?! I dont and never wanted a damn card and now i have to go get one to stop you being offended even tho it was your incredibly stupid idea in the first place!!

And if you say you’re going to email someone then email them back within a couple of days. Dont say you will and demand a reply and then not bloody bother!! At the very least send one saying “go away”.blue-meanieblue-meanie 

 

There will be far more stupid social rules that are utterly idiotic yet are meant to be followed without question or compliant. And folk want to be social.a-hard-days-night-john-7a-hard-days-night-paul-3

Thats the point. I dont want to do it but if i dont folk take the huff even tho i never initiated it in the first place. I dont want to annoy folk yet i do because i dont want to get involved in stupid customs that no one can explain the reason of outside of “its the nice thing to do”.
