At a meeting earlier this week I heard what I hope was a malaprop “we need to keep the inertia going”! At last one civil servant has recognised his true purpose.
Wikipedia has a good section on examples of malapropisms. Of course, these are different to spoonerisms.
Random Thoughts
A petrol price war is looming. Nice to see prices down to 88p a litre when they were over £1 in some places last month.
Travel Notes
The London Underground is unbearably hot still – even in the middle of September. And its now £3 for a one-stop journey. That’s a far cry from when Ken Livingstone was leader of the GLC (no, not the Goldie Looking Chain) in the 1980s and Fares Fair meant that people were actually being encouraged onto public transport.
Fantasy Football Notes
My Ebbw Vale Steelers came away with a draw in week 1, thanks to a useful Monday night effort from my San Diego contingent.
Will be running out the same team this week, but picked up SF running back Frank Gore to pad out my bench.
Rugby Notes
So the Scarlets will go bust if they don’t get their new ground, eh? Just one question. When’s the party?
