watch the simpsons
my husband has a job so easy that it makes me cry. early on in his stint as an audio visual technician in a massive city firm, his boss told him, as there wasn't much to do, that he could go home early that evening though not before he'd seen the end of the episode of the simpsons he was watching on a massive plasma screen.

» Annoying words and phrases

it is very concerning...
i know it makes me sound like some ancient pedant, but i'm so old that i qualify for the title: in order for me to understand any sentence that starts or includes that phrase the speaker really should say worrying or of great concern or something like that. for some reason it puts my teeth on edge. i have no idea why this particular phrase does this but it does. i just want to slap people who use it. that said, i mostly hear it on the today programme (see, i said i was old), mostly by politicians and the windbag interviewers and i would not be sad to see most of them fired into space strapped to the outside of the rocket.
