Quite so Lord R. But how should we address Our Sovereign? Is it, Your Highness, Your Majesty, Empress, or perhaps something a little less formal such as Ma'am? "Ma" ... just realised... is that a contraction of Majesty?

You can blame Jono for the formality, I just copied and pasted.

If it were up to me, we'd all address her as O Captain, My Captain.

Maybe I didn't put this dramatically enough. :-)

What we see setting isn't the Sun at all (!!!), but a reflection of its light after it's already set. Hey? Hey? Hey?! Yeah!

The Sun 'really' sets, but then its reflection hangs around a little longer, and that's what we're watching.

Come on, that's gold trivia! :-)

Then there's the overuse of -- perhaps for emphasis -- "actually": "Actually, I have a Ford." "Actually, yes I do". Ugh!

Actually, I'm guilty of that.

we all probably are, actually.

You've spent too much time riding Beach Rd Ozman. You need to come out to the hills where the sun sets behind cows, sheep, dead roos.. and when the sun sets, it has farken set. None of this refracting hippy eyeball [censored] that you flat landers have invented.

Ha! Ya know, actually, in fact, to be honest, personally, I haven't been to the 'Nongs for nearly 2 years. :-)

It's essentially all Hugh Grant's fault, as a matter of fact.

Did you go all night?

Sure did. But nothing to be jealous of in my life these days. Socially I'm more a hermit now, and the days of getting plenty are behind me too. I'm not getting any at the moment.
And at dawn on New Years here.... we were playing Scrabble. [IMG]files.cyclingforums.comgrin.pngOpen ↗[/IMG] Truly.

Don't forget 'literally'. It's literally done to death on the interwebs at the moment. [IMG ALT=""]http://www.cyclingforums.com/content/type/61/id/295508/width/500/height/1000[/IMG]

Have a look at this form.... Some cnut on Twitter has faked up a Will Smith account, a [censored] story about an NBC chat session, all for followers/popularity.

btw - this is FAKE. FFAAKKEE. How people believe this is beyond me. 90,000+ people need their accounts suspended for fraud!

90,000 people need their lives annulled for wanting to watch [censored] like the fresh prince of bel air.

Use of the words literally and virtually annoys me. Misuse irritates the hell out of me. The other ones overused are 'basically' and 'like', as in 'basically, like, you know, I was like [censored] because they virtually like overused basically and like in a sentence so much my head literally exploded'.

If you wish, you may address me as "Your supremacy".

But I will also respond to "Ma" [IMG]files.cyclingforums.comtongue.pngOpen ↗[/IMG]

I think he complained about Easter actually.

Does "don't touch my farking Easter eggs, I'll be back in 3 days" count as a complaint?

One of the dudes from that show died today. Another dead pool fail - already!

Speaking of deadpool. Zsa Zsa Gabor, Lemmy, Facebook.
