Erm... proper Scouts :thumbsup: .


One of my old course instructors used to say " and from that side of things" on a very regular basis. He peaked at saying it 109 times in one day and when you are on a 10 week type rating course it just does your head in.


I had a geography teacher that would say actually numerous times in one sentence. The class tagged on to it and started making tally charts and taking bets. The record was over 200!! in an hour. Unfortunately I got sent out for laughing about it but when he came to tell me off for "Excessively laughing", he used actually again :D .


I had one the other day though that cracked me up.

"What are you using to scrape them gaskets off?"
"Err. A gasket scraper"

Pacific instead of specific.

I hate it but my wife really gets annoyed, I sometimes drop it in for a reaction.

Being told to calm down (as above mentioned), made worse when I am in fact not that angry yet.

Has this ever actually (Just for you actually lovers) happened? I have to say that in all my time on this planet I have never heard this confusion!

I have heard it too many times unfortunately.

1 of the boys that I work with said it no too long ago, he was suitably informed and edu-macated.

Edit to add. He said "what do you mean pacifically?"

On TMF mini for sale adverts (and other forums too) : I'm looking for £XXXX. or I will not sell it for less than £XXXX.

Keep looking. It's hidden in my bank account, and you are not going to sell for more than that either.

You should say: I WANT £XXXX but might take offers if you come and point out any fault not already detailed or My price is £XXXX (NO offers)
