You don't seem to realise that these 'sayings' are synonymous. They're virtually the same sentiment only cast in a different way.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, I understand that just fine.

To me though, one is acceptable, the other seems a bit weird.

 

Why's that then?

 

Just seems a bit odd to start using terms like blessed.

 

Cobblers!

 

Better than sounding like a religious person

Right, are you saying you've never heard 'Load of cobblers' before?

 

Fair play to you for trying to reason with it, but I fear you're fighting a losing battle

 

Fanny - clear off this thread and go pretend to be something else again.

 

No way, I'm enjoying seeing you outwitted, not that it takes much

 

Would you like to see religious language eradicated, Urban?

No. I've heard the saying.

 

What? Where did that come from

Odd - your post earlier suggested otherwise

 

You said that:

before singling out the religious word 'blessed'. It stands to reason that if you juxtapose a religious word against acceptability, it necessarily follows that the former is unacceptable. So, if it's unacceptable, would you like to see it and all other religious language eradicated?

 

It's fairly common throughout North and North East Lincs.

One in Cleethorpes is known locally as Hewitt's Circus.....

 

No I didn't.


Your adding 2+2 and getting 7!

 

I bet you have.Loads of times!!!

 

So you're good with religious language, then? You don't find it unacceptable at all?

 

Not particularly

 

What I hate is we have started using their terms, Headers no Exhaust manifold next we we will be calling brake disks= Rotas, Anti roll bars = sway bars, Bonnets=hoods, boot= trunk

 

We're talking automobiles now

 

Yeah, bit like everything on SN, always taken off on another track

 

Bloody 'noob'

 

Good job buddy!!!!

 

I know shocking, automobiles/cars next we will call our cars Imprezzzzas

 

Where has the stupid expression 'bad ***' come from? If that's Anerican then I'm all for a bit of Yank bashing.
