IT'S RIDICULOUS!

You've got to hand it to the whinging poms. "It's Ridiculous" is one of the most overused statements I've heard lately. It's usually followed by something like "It's Disgusting!"

Usually the things being referred to as "disgusting" or "ridiculous" are: Waiting for a bus, rush hour, logging into a PC, queuing for food at the pub... ad nauseam. War, Famine, Violence and Poverty are disgusting. Morris Dancing is ridiculous.

Some of the examples above are, at worst... mildly irritating. I don't think the emotive press help much, either.

Hulle laat my lag, ne.
