(true story). A couple of weeks ago a bloke driving a yellow Renault (down here in Dorset) narrowly avoided disaster when an large oak tree blew over in the wind and collapsed onto the road in front of him. The car was slightly damaged but he was OK.
The local paper/website reported the...
An ex-girlfriends mum once said to me (after I'd been cheeky to her) "You're shootin' for a bootin'" .I think she meant to say "You're cruising for a bruising"
people that say "I'm sorry, but.."
e.g.
"I'm sorry, but if you think that's acceptable, then you have another thing coming"
or "I'm sorry, but, people like that don't deserve a second chance" etc.
You're not sorry, are you? So why say sorry?
