Phew. One person agrees with me.

But if others want to flame me, go ahead. I know I have the moral high ground.

Although sometimes it can be used in a funny way and also I'm not going to go on about other people's writing (as my English is bad enough!)

"sometimes it can be used in a funny way"

Sorry, haven't seen any examples of that. Certainly not on this thread.

Methinks yourself needs to get a grip. People having an opinion make me stabby and my teeth itch.

Don't get me started on the estate agent/call centre/Apprentice candidates' use of "myself" NotIn.

"Who was responsible for this mess?"
"It was myself, Lord Sugar".

No. No. No. "It was ME, Lord Sugar".

I get a pain in my rectum from people stating certain words or phrases are irritating.

The pain is far worse than the one I get from people using irritating words or phrases.

The vocabulary police are all fascists. Or tools of a totalitarian dictatorship.

Not as annoying as all those antenatal threads titled "brooking no argument.." It may have been witty the first time, just.

Methinks starting a thread with ' So,' is also pretty annoying.
