Posted on December 1, 2014 By admin

  1. “I might join you later” – I’m not leaving the house today unless it’s on fire.
  2. “Excuse me, sorry, is anyone sitting here?” – You have 3 seconds to move your bag before I end you.
  3. “Not to worry” – I will never forget this.
  4. Saying sorry as a way of introducing yourself.
  5. “Bit wet out there” – You’re going to need a snorkel because it’s absolutely pissing it down.
  6. Ending an email with “Thanks” as a warning that you’re perilously close to losing your temper.
  7. “Right then, I suppose I really should start thinking about possibly making a move” – Bye.
  8. “It’s fine” – It really could not possibly get any worse, but no doubt it will do.
  9. “Perfect” – Well, that’s ruined then.
  10. “A bit of a pickle” – A catastrophically bad situation with potentially fatal consequences.
  11. “Hot too bad, actually” – I’m probably the happiest I’ve ever been.
  12. “Honestly, it doesn’t matter” – Nothing has ever mattered more than this.
  13. “You’ve caught the sun” – You look like you’ve been swimming in a volcano.
  14. “That’s certainly one way of looking at it” – That’s certainly the wrong way of looking at it.
  15. Saying “I have the 5p if it helps?” and never being quite sure if it helps.
  16. “If you say so” – I’m afraid that what you’re saying is the height of idiocy.
  17. “With all due respect” – You have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about.
  18. Saying “you’re welcome” as quietly as possible to people that don’t say thank you buy using it as a form of punishing them.
  19. “I beg your pardon” – 1. I didn’t hear you. 2. I apologize. 3. What you’re saying is making me absolutely livid.
  20. “It could be worse” – It couldn’t possibly be any worse.
  21. “Each to their own” – You’re wrong, but never mind.
  22. “Pop round anytime” – Stay away from my house.
  23. “I’m just popping out for lunch, does anyone want anything?” – I’m getting my own lunch now, please remain silent.
  24. Saying “I might get some cash out actually”, despite approaching the cash machine and being 100% of getting cash.
  25. “No, no, honestly, my fault” – It was exceedingly tour fault and we both know it.
  26. “No yeah that’s very interesting” – You’re boring me to death.
  27. “Just whenever you get a minute” – NOW!
  28. “No harm done” – You have caused complete and utter chaos.
  29. “I’m sure it’ll be fine” – I fully expect the situation to deteriorate rapidly.
  30. “Sorry, I think you might have dropped something” – You have definitively dropped that specific item.

Being Christmassy and stuff

We did Christmassy stuff this weekend. We went to the Montreux Christmas market on Saturday, where we ate foie gras sandwiches, tartiflette, drank mulled wine, rode the ferris wheel and spent too much money. On Sunday, we put up the Christmas tree and hung up Katy’s homemade wreath.
