    Forced joviality - people who seem to think that there's certain occasions that require every living soul, to turn into some grinning idiot who's prepared to laugh at even the most inane & unfunny quip e.g. Christmas. "get into the spirit". No, how about you get the **** out of my face, taking your feelings of obliged jollyness with you, you docile moron.

    ear hair - seriously, what's the ****ing point? It's like natures way of telling a middle aged man, that he's over the hill.

    Cheers <ok>

    I'd say pavement is acceptable terminology. A footpath IMO is something that you walk on through a housing. estate or a woodland or such like..

    Yanks say sidewalk <ok>

    This. It's a footpath if it's at ground level and there is no road nearby. It's a pavement when it is next to the road and raised with a kerb.

    I can only say that as a civil engineer and construction project manager I care not a jot for what the Oxford dictionary says.

    A footpath is for walking on. A pavement is a road construction.

    The amount multiplies the more kids you have.

    Had non at all, first son comes along and my ears start sprouting hair. Kid two comes along, this doubles. Now have three and my ears are just off the scale mental and it grows really quickly and stealthily.

    I'm just waiting for them to start coming out of my nose now, and I mean the nose not nostrils.

    People who think it's all right to go up to complete strangers in pubs, impose themselves on them and try to shake their hands then get incredibly aggressive when said handshake is completely ignored.

    People who say something once thinking it's funny when it's not and then spend the ne0xt 25 years making the exact same comment every time you meet them.

    My point exactly.

    English usage - you walk on the pavement and drive on the road
    American usage - you walk on the sidewalk and driven on the pavement

    http://www.macmillandictionary.com/dictionary/british/pavement

    If civil engineers are referring to the surface of the road as the pavement, this is just another example of how the Americans **** up every, and I mean every, thing.

    But then who would we laugh at most weekends? And most days for that matter...
