American TV I imagine. Spreads like a really bad infection and like you I hear it everywhere. Often groan at my Mrs who will always say she’s ’going to get a shower’.

Another gripe about the NHS, although not the caring side.
Why does the NHS cost so much to run?
I've just had a call from my wife who was odering an item for her ward.
It costs £38 so she put the order through. She gets a call from "Procurement" saying she has to buy through them, that's the system.
It's exactly the same item from the same supplier but through the official channel it cost £230!
She is livid and will be complaining the the Trust CEO if she can't buy it direct.
Our money, being squandered away from the front line services.

I used to work at a huge multi national engineering/car company - they had a ‘stores’ where the workers could get the things like gloves for work etc
Third party company ran it that did the rover factory at longbridge.
Charged my company over double for the same stuff.
These companies always take the piss if they see the £££’s.

Was the same years ago when I worked in the education sector, they were paying a 3rd party absolutely mind blowing money for doing very basic shit.

Want a network switch changing? Anybody competent can do it within 20 minutes, nah let's get a consultant in to charge hundreds per hour to "plan", then charge 3x the price for the hardware and then back to charge hundreds to configure and put it in.

Googled etymology

  • Tatars:
    The word "tartar" has historical ties to the Tatars, a Turkic-speaking group from Central Asia and Eastern Europe. They were known for their nomadic lifestyle and military prowess, and their diet included raw meat.

  • Steak Tartare:
    The Tatars' practice of eating raw, minced meat led to the French dish known as steak tartare, which is often served with a sauce similar to tartar sauce.

  • Sauce Tartare:
    The sauce that became popular with steak tartare was named "sauce tartare" by the French, referencing the Tatars' association with raw meat dishes.

  • Tartar Sauce:
    Eventually, the sauce evolved and became popular on its own, becoming known as tartar sauce in English.

  • Cream of Tartar:
    It's important to note that cream of tartar, a baking ingredient, is also named "tartar" but it has a different origin related to a byproduct of wine fermentation and is unrelated to the Tatars or steak tartare.

Thank you, I could not be arsed but my backwards reasoning was correct.

I assume the Jewish Russians bought it over in the 19th century.

Not so sure about this/that,all planned for this year at any rate.
A manager nobody had heard of,three months of preparation a few dirty tricks to upset the opposition, bring down the oppo to your level and voila, of course it could have backfired but didn't.
Sheffield UTD can only look at themselves for not being hungry enough, who that's down to I think it's self evident.

People on local Facebook groups (especially) who comment, in the aftermath of a road accident or some similar incident "I hope everyone's OK". What they *actually* mean is "Please can someone give me a like and pass on some juicy gossip?"
Pointless wastes of space and air!
