NO IT ISN'T, KIRSTY!

All Kirstie/Kirsty's are annoying especially the one in The Archers!

Awesome - did she say it two time as she was arriving at a train station to get a coffee before alighting to her train seat

Kirstie/Kirsty who?

Allsopp

Many people use that phrase and it really annoys me.

Lost count of the number of times I hear 'off his /her own back' it's BAT for goodness sake not back.

Does anyone else think that the couple in the programme would have done better to invest their money in a decent waterproof shed, some storage boxes, and a course with professional declutters?

Thanks Charleygirl5
I assumed that in the end but it could have been Kirsty Wark, Kirsty Young, Kirsty Alley, Kirsty Gallacher …..

What a lot of Kirsties!

Oh, and apparently there's one in the Archers

Is this all you have to witter on about?

Yeah, great isn't it!!

A break after a busy morning.

Glad you found the time to join us and post Tadleyjan - welcome

All my life I've said, 'See a pin and pick it up and all day long you'll have good luck' as taught to me by my grandmother. This idiom is first recorded by Samuel Pepys in 1667 as 'an old proverb' -- and the number of people who say, 'See a PENNY...' is phenominal. It irritates me every time I hear it.

I do say both SueDoku although I know that the original is 'pin'.

'Money is the root of all evil'. Sorry, couldn't resist.

I shout at newsreaders for spouting rubbish. What is the world coming to when even the beeb can't speak proper English like wat I do?

I get annoyed when I see 'it' s a doggy dog world'. Why can't people get it right?

The pin!! Aha I didn't know that. It makes more sense than penny.
Thanks for the gems on here.
I find I come out with proverbs and sayings more often as I get older and turn into my mother grandmother
We host international visitors and ask them if they have similar sayings in their own languages. They often do.

maybe the proof is in HER pudding - 40% proof whisky or something

Sheilasue I remember hearing someone say "that's like bolting the stable door after the horse has..... er...." She then burst out laughing when she realised what she'd done.

There are an increasing number of TV presenters who can’t/ won’t speak properly

Cos they have not had no edukashun Ave they !

The proof is in the Christmas pudding. A nice tot of 80% proof brandy!
Have you noticed how comical the word 'proof' seems after you have read/said it a few times?

Sorry craftergran. I just noticed that you got there before me, but with a little less proof!

There's rather a lot of dumbing down going on, presumably to keep up wiv da yoof, innit?
