Post by Nancy Boise »

No, I don't think I'm 'too much' for TB lol I just might be a bit confronting depending on how old he is and how much of the big wide world he's seen :wink:

not so much as phrase or cliche...

But i saw too many headlines in the paper last week after the socceroo victory that read something along the lines of....

"Harry's too Kewell"

or

"Too Kewell for school"

surely writers can think of something more original than that!!!!

If a picture tells a thousand words then "The Hoff" is a cliche that i'm tired of....

Yes it was hilarious the first few times, but now everytime someone is in the news, some gimp slaps a hoff face on them, without any photoshopping (you can practically see the clag and sticky tape) and sends it out to the masses.

Saw a few Mark Schwarzerhoff pics getting around and it was a shockin piece of handywork! Boo!

Bay Boy, I remember Mahatmacoat yakking to K.G and Cornsey I few years back when Harry wasn't so keen on representing Australia. Mahatma started calling him "Far" Kewell, because he's a long way away.
I thought that was pretty funny.
I'm gonna sit back, crack the top off a Pale Ale, and watch the Double Blues prevail

I must admit, I never really noticed people saying "in terms of", then I read Don Watson's "Death Sentence" and now I can't stop hearing it. It's the "key phrase" for every politician and journalist in the country. If you haven't already done so, prioritise the flexibility of your reading material in terms of books and empower yourself by reading this core written material.
