Terribly good? Thunberg and Linekar are just terrible.

"Terribly good" or "Awfully good".

 
I do not understand these. The wonderfully erudite Stephen Fry uses them with alarming regularity. He's a national treasure, so it is said, which presumably means you can pay an admission fee to inspect his vowels.
I thought a national treasure was the likes of Stonehenge, where much to the Swedish Angy Bird's anger, as she jet-sets around the world from one environmental march to another, they have since brought in a hefty team of diesel JCB's to set the henges back one hour until spring.
Thunberg, like Gary Crisps (for those not familiar, the appalling Linekar of the BBC -  he has extracted millions of pounds out of Walker's (Lay's throughout the world) to become their ambassador for obesity and cholesterol), seems to have also become a latter-day expert on Gazan affairs. 
They both seem to hae a death wish by becoming involved in things they know less than absolutely nothing about, while at the same time demonstrating unbelievably high levels of immoral hypocrisy in relation to the environment.
Thunberg with her jet-setting from environmental meeting to environmental meeting, and the antsemitic alleged "green" Crispy with his 23mpg car.

A Season for all men

Well, we’re used to hearing about the Camping Season , which for Scouts runs from approximately 31st March to 31st October each year, although Graham Norton’s camping season lasts all year. Then there’s the Caravan Season , where Jeremy Clarkson spends six months with extremely high blood pressure as he tries to overtake them on the A38 in an excruciatingly expensive and completely unnecessary car. The Japanese have their Scientific Season, which was a series of sporadic weeks where they slaughtered endangered whales for scientific research, the results of which seem to be a closely guarded world-secret. This season now looks set, thanks to a group of spineless, land-locked countries threatened by the Land of the Rising Scientific Research with paying more for their Nintendos and PlayStations, to last until the final whale is wiped off the face of the oceans. I have written to the Japanese Embassy four times now seeking details of this research (email address info@l...

"Q". My name is Bond. Oh. not THAT Q.

I was sent a story today by a friend who knows my feelings on the subject - that is, about one of the consummately greatest of all British activities, namely, queuing. It seems some Danish Professor or other has come up with the theory that those who queue the longest should actually be served the last. He claims it makes purchasing something altogether more efficient and smooth through the idea of 'contra-queuing' (whatever the devil that may mean). 'Serve the people at the back of the queue first', he says, with profound wisdom. Altogether very professorial, albeit demonstrating a somewhat keen lack of understanding of the purchasing psyche. The Nobel Prize-chasing Prof suggests that if, for example, a popular entertainment act was to announce a tour, with tickets going on sale at 11am one morning, using the theory of 'contra-queuing', no one will want to be first to buy said tickets. So no one will turn up 14 months in advance and venues will...

"Pre-" . . . . . good grief!!!!!!!!!

I was looking through the Guardian this morning and noticed a position being advertised that I thought I'd take a closer look at. The first sentence, when clicking the link to apply was: "If you are registered, please log in and we will pre-fill this form for you." What is the current fixation with the prefix "pre" . It is everywhere, turning perfectly reasonable statements into total and utter gibberish! I would have thought that for one of our major quality newspapers, instead of "please log in and we will pre-fill this form for you" it would have been much more sensible to have something along the lines of "please log in and your details will be automatically filled in for you". It is the rip-off Britain merchants who have embraced this particular prefix with a vengeance. They have nonsensically slapped it in front of the word " order " so that the moment an overpriced games console, war game for that console, phone,...
