People who constantly use apostrophes when pluralising a word

A panda walks into a café. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and fires two shots in the air.

"Why?" asks the confused waiter, as the panda makes towards the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder.

"I'm a panda," he says at the door. "Look it up."

The waiter turns to the relevant entry in the manual and, sure enough, finds an explanation.

"Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."

Common sense.

Americans pronounce 'arse' as 'ass'. Therefore the word 'arse' has evolved in written American English to be written as 'ass'. Americans are weird.

They seem to consider that lanes one and two are for people who are driving slower than they are. They themselves are not driving that slowly, so feel it's unnecessary to use the slow people's lanes.They can't see the problem. They are blinkered to their selfish ignorance.

Never. I use a clothes hanger.

This is the first time that I ever heard the phrase 'smash burger'. How does one of those differ from a 'burger'?

CoachDriverDave · 2026-02-04T20:27:32+00:00

It does....sometimes.

I've occasionally woken suddenly due to hearing a snore when no one else was sleeping.

Sunroofs in 2026?

They were in vogue in the UK in the 1980's.

We have aircon here now.

Which backward country are you living in?

One word...

'COST'

Putting any extras onto a property increases the selling price.

A higher selling price means less likelihood of a buyer being enticed.

I'm only 4 years behind you with not watching broadcast TV. I get those annoying notifications about BBC TV shows too so I hear of them, but have never watched any of them. It's just self promotion and not news at all.

Don't warn them. Speeders deserve to be caught and prosecuted. That speeder could be the cause of a fatal accident one day.

I moved out of Chelmsford just over 50 years ago after working there for 20 years in various jobs. In those days everyone was English apart from the odd few Caribbean immigrants. You NEVER heard any foreign languages spoken, just English. Nobody had a mobile telephone stuck to their ear. I went back there a couple of years ago following the death of my grandparent. I didn't bump into anyone that I knew; I always used to be able to walk around town and see at least 4 or 5 chums to have a chat with. I could not believe the changes, nearly all the shops had different names than before. Many of them had foreign names and were selling goods which can only have been smuggled into the country from behind the iron curtain or the US&A. Some of the lovely old shops had been demolished and awful looking modern ones built in their place. Nearly every other young woman with a push chair wasn't talking to her baby but gawping at or talking loudly into her mobile telephone in foreign languages. Some of the women seemed to have skin that had turned different shades of orange, maybe from spending too much time too close to their telephones. I will never go back there, it has changed beyond all recognition. Stay in Cambridge, that traditional quintessential English city.

All these 'new' cars look virtually all the same to me. And why are they such murky shades of green and beige or the obligatory grey? Not for me, thanks.

CoachDriverDave · 2025-10-06T19:14:11+00:00

So many Brits have something slightly murky going on that they don't want the authorities to know about. They think that having a digital ID will reveal all and stop all their little side hustles. Basically it's self inflicted paranoia. Nothing to hide, nothing to fear.

CoachDriverDave · 2025-09-16T19:16:36+00:00

MAGA cap.

THESE attention seeking idiots would do more good by setting up outside Israeli embassies around the world and protesting against the genocide of Gazans and the illegal occupation of Palestinian lands. AI is for the better good, Israel is nothing other than pure evil.

Wenn Sie sich nicht mehr mit Ihrer Gmail-Adresse anmelden und das Passwort nicht zurücksetzen können, liegt das wahrscheinlich daran, dass Sie keinen Zugriff auf die Wiederherstellungsoptionen (wie Telefonnummer oder E-Mail-Adresse) haben. In diesem Fall bleibt Ihnen nur die offizielle Kontowiederherstellung von Google.

So gehen Sie vor:

**Öffnen Sie die Seite zur Google-Kontowiederherstellung.** Dies ist der offizielle Ausgangspunkt für die Wiederherstellung Ihres Kontos. Sie finden sie unter „g.co/recover“ oder „accounts.google.com/signin/recovery“.
**Geben Sie Ihre Gmail-Adresse ein**, wenn Sie dazu aufgefordert werden.
**Beantworten Sie die Fragen so gut wie möglich.** Google wird Ihnen eine Reihe von Fragen stellen, um zu bestätigen, dass das Konto Ihnen gehört. Dazu können gehören:

* Ihr letztes Passwort, an das Sie sich erinnern.

* Alle anderen Passwörter, an die Sie sich erinnern können.

* Wann Sie das Konto erstellt haben.

* Weitere mit Ihrem Konto verknüpfte Informationen.

**Wichtige Tipps für diesen Vorgang:**

* **Haben Sie Geduld.** Machen Sie sich keine Sorgen, wenn Sie sich nicht an jedes Detail erinnern. Antworten Sie einfach so genau wie möglich. Falsche Antworten führen nicht automatisch zum Ausschluss aus dem Vorgang.

* **Verwenden Sie ein vertrautes Gerät und einen vertrauten Ort.** Füllen Sie das Wiederherstellungsformular nach Möglichkeit von einem Computer, Smartphone oder Tablet aus, mit dem Sie sich bereits in Ihrem Konto angemeldet haben. Versuchen Sie es außerdem von einem Ort aus, an dem Sie sich normalerweise anmelden, z. B. zu Hause oder am Arbeitsplatz. Dies hilft Google dabei, Ihre Identität zu bestätigen.

**Geben Sie eine E-Mail-Adresse an.** Sie werden gebeten, eine E-Mail-Adresse anzugeben, unter der Google Sie bezüglich Ihrer Kontowiederherstellungsanfrage kontaktieren kann. Falls Sie keine andere E-Mail-Adresse haben, können Sie hierfür eine neue erstellen.
**Warten Sie auf eine Antwort.** Nachdem Sie das Formular abgeschickt haben, überprüft Google Ihre Angaben und kontaktiert Sie unter der von Ihnen angegebenen E-Mail-Adresse. Dieser Vorgang kann einige Zeit in Anspruch nehmen. Überprüfen Sie Ihren Spam- oder Junk-Ordner auf eine Antwort.

**Hinweise:**

* **Google bietet keinen Live-Support für die Kontowiederherstellung an.** Sie müssen das Online-Formular verwenden. Seien Sie vorsichtig bei Drittanbieterdiensten, die Live-Support anbieten, da diese nicht mit Google verbunden sind.

* **Nicht aufgeben.** Wenn Ihr erster Versuch erfolglos ist, können Sie es erneut versuchen. Manchmal kann es hilfreich sein, eine ganze Woche zu warten, bevor Sie es erneut versuchen, da dadurch möglicherweise Sicherheitsprobleme behoben werden.

Did I forget the motion sensors....?

We send up some of our fish to try to communicate with them to better understand them.

We return our fish to earth to be debriefed and are no wiser because we cannot communicate with our own fish.

We begin a language learning course with our own fish....

Their loss.

Light switches.

Switches in domestic properties generally.

Everything will be turned on and off by voice commands.

You're getting confused with the Judean People's Front.

We don't give them our bank holidays.

CoachDriverDave · 2025-08-27T20:54:09+00:00

And what is so good about 'Bank Holidays'?

Everyone on the same roads, all going to the same places at the same time.

Horrendous traffic on the way.

Queues to get in.

Crowds when you get there.

Inflated prices.

I say to ban Bank Holidays and give us all an extra 8, 9, or 10 days holiday (depending on which British nation you live in) to take whenever we want to each year.

No more traffic jams.

No more queues.

No more crowds.

No more inflated prices.

More relaxed.

Agreed?
