Ah man - I’ve been saying segue / segway quite a bit recently.
It just kind of happened. I don’t know when it started. No-one else in my workplace is saying it. Maybe I am actually much cleverer and better than them?

I was in the bathroom this morning. I think I’d just had a shower. On a portable speaker I had a ‘How to speak Dutch’ podcast playing from Spotify. I’m paying the monthly subscription so wouldn’t usually get adverts. Anyway there was a section about leaving answerphone messages, and a voice was saying words and translations. Then it said ‘Some men are simply impotent and require medical intervention’. I was waiting for the translation but there wasn’t one. I then wondered if I’d heard it at all. I went back and listened and it wasn’t there. It was horrible. I wondered if I was having a lysergic acid ‘flashback’ or whether I was at the start of a spell of schizophrenia.
I did not like it.
Anyway I listened to the episode again (most of it) and it did appear again. But what the hell? Not even an advert. Just a statement, to sink into your brain when it’s open to learning new words.
Bad news. I thought about cancelling Spotify but decided to stop listening to the podcast instead …
Beware.

Hmmm...can't log in either as myself or Admin. I think ProBoards are aware of the problem. If they can't resolve it you're all on your own.

I have confusion. Isn't segue always pronounced "segway"?
I work with a guy who is the absolute worst for management speak. A proper cunt. Never gives a straight answer for anything, it's always "Well we need to be cognisant of any developmental work around overarching organisation architecture in relation to emergent strategic alignment"
Anyway, he pronounces it "seg-yoo"

So what’s everyone doing at the weekend?
I’m going to go and see The Iron Claw. Or Ironclaw. The film about rassling. Then the plan is to go for a succulent Chinese meal, then to go to the Barbican to see legendary German music man Michael Rother.
I can’t wait!
I will also try and do a lot of the Duolingo Dutch course. And will probably engage with some television.

What is good television?
I can’t think of any drama I really want to see. I do like Babylon Berlin. Hoping to get back into this soon.

I clicked on an ED drug advert on Instagram last week. I was Cialis curious. I wondered how much they were selling for. Not that I need them your understand. It's like a young Tuffers down there. It's been non stop ED and PE adverts since. Damn those Algorithms.

If you are using segué as French it is seg-You-A..
It's only terrible people who say segway unless they are referring to the scooter type things in which case they are terrible people.
The easiest thing to do is use transition instead. An easy word to pronounce and the meaning is clear and can't be misunderstood.
"I think you need to transition".
Let's transition to the new plan.

Afternoon all.
I’ve just yomped/tabbed along the undercliff to the dentists. On the way, I encountered too small dogs, one named Sammy, the other Edith.
No idea why I’m mentioning this. I just thought they were quite sweet mutt-names.
TVblog: watched the first episode of the fourth series of Star Trek Discovery, so you don’t have to. URGH.

I hated this advert / statement. You can’t put things like that into a learning podcast - you just can’t. It’s like a dentist taking a shit into an open mouth.

Did you know that the World's angriest TV dentist is Norway's Pal Groest, whose hit show I Kick Your Mouth Out regularly commands an audience of 8m viewers? |

It's like a young Tuffers down there. Like the 1997 Hollywood blockbuster 'Anaconda' starring Ice Cube and Jennifer Lopez? Yes, that's it. |
