in convienient

tags: discombobulated, Eyan, friend, language, Microsoft, toilet

Our Barcelonean correspondent, Eyan, wants to know about the Microsoft Word selection of Synonyms for that naughty word:

Why isn’t toilet in the Word synonyms dictionary for British English? Are we being coy? Sweeping things under the carpet again?

I think it’s outrageous Toilet water and toilet block are there, but no toilet. What is a guy to do ? It’s there for US English, but not for British English.

I’m baffled, I’ll have to rest in a room for a while to wonder whether the water closet (WC) should come out of the closet and declare itself a toilet

sweeping ‘things’ under the carpet? Heaven forbid! That could get very messy, smelly, and a tad ‘quidgy.

So you were already the only girl in the class!

Hey Wendy! "Be helpful, not mean" is solid advice. I'd go even more basic. "Be nice; there's rarely a reason not to be". Tho I've had my moments. Indigo

Good luck with that work situation, I admire you for speaking-up it's such a valuable (and rare) quality. I try to believe that your value will outwieght the senior man's...

I had a full fledged teenage tantrum when my parents told me off for upsetting my maths teacher. Think Thunder and lightening, though I didn't throw anything but words...

I loved this post too. I was flipping through my teenage photographs recently and was absolutely shocked to see that I was NOT the fat cow I'd always been...

Scarlet on fat and stupid

Loved this post. I have also had a fair few of this type of significant moment.... I wish I could say that I responded as well as you. Sx

Brian on my fish are dead

My switch to Feedly was effortless! I like it even better than Google Reader. I signed in with my Google ID and all my feeds (including yours, of course) instantly...

Scarlet on short burst of heat

The first floor might be grateful for the heating this summer... at least they will be able to go sleeveless. Sx

Closing? SAY IT AIN'T SO! It's a favourite stop-off for some snackage if I go to a concert in Birmingham. Bah. Indigo x
