I’ve been derided for not giving up my seat for a woman on a train, dispite the fact that I was in a full leg plastercast due to an argumant I lost with the road.

Similarly i’ve been almost threatened with being slapped when giving up my seat on a bus to an elderly lady, who called me a patronising toerag.

I always make a concious effort to be polite, but I think that because i’m under 25 and have short hair that i’m judged as a thug before I can prove otherwise!

Regards,

Be proud of those who guard the wall,
Looking outward, standing tall,
and know that they risk their head,
so you can sleep safely in your bed.

Be proud of those that soar in the skies,
Armed with weapons or vital supplies,
Measuring each day by duty done,
their aircraft shining in the sun.

Be proud of those who sail the seas,
Bringing despots to their knees,
and know that they’d gladly give,
their lives so that you may live.

Be proud of all our girls and boys,
Serving on, whilst we play with toys,
and know that whilst we live our life,
we owe our lives to their strife.

Haha, without doubt one of the best responses i’ve ever read on here mate. Just showed my boss and she laughed as well.

Oh God, don’t add a THIRD dimension or we’ll be here all night… 🙂

Seriously though, C Dizzle has hit upon a good point. Pretty much everything is described from the position of the driving seat: offside, nearside, front and back.

Oh for pity’s sake, get a bike- can’t go wrong then!!

I say use them for target practice.

Commit a crime – expect to get hosed. The word will soon get around.

@Mike: I guess you guys didn’t evolve 😀

No, all it shows is how that is you make stuff up and repeat it enough times people slowly start to believe it’s true. Most of what you lot call English was derived through poor spelling and incorrect diction! 😀

It’s called a *trunk* for starters. Speak real English. Not the 1800’s version :diablo:

Look, you were happy enough to keep using the English language after you so rudely decided to mutiny so the least you can do is not butcher it like some apprentice butcher’s training carcass, thanks 😀

Either make up your own language and fabricate new words from the ether or use an existing one properly.

Plus, stationwagons arn’t cars, simply canal barges with a wheel crudely attached to each side!

All the above in jest, of course!!

As the boot is part of the car, and the car is facing away from the direction that the boot opens, the object is at the back of the car. The front of the boot would be directly behind the rear seats.

If you put your wallet in your back pocket it’s not at the front of your backside is it?
