A euphemism, not an. Despite the appearance of beginning with a vowel, it is actually a consonant sound, and requires "a", not "an". Two vowels. Two vowels, not one. Maybe you would prefer a Brexitphemism? |

Following on from this morning's murderchat, a number of people in my office have started saying "Fri-yay" Some of the people here refer to Thursday as "Friday-eve" I refer to them as "twats" Both, Please don't take this the wrong way but: Have you ever considered suggesting that your respective employers review their interview and selection process? |

I’ll give you a consonant sound in a minute, pal Despite the euphoria of reading your euphonic posts eulogising non-standard indefinite articles, I think I will find greater eudemonia by sticking with not being wrong. |

As I am in pre mod my comment saying that no one was pointing out the most important thing about the syrian refugee i.e. he looked like Clem Fandango, was not allowed. You know, I'm starting to come round to FRANK's point of view. On secret labs: I'm worried about pressing the hidden switch whilst standing in the fireplace in case the fireplace rotates and I get trapped in the secret room. Then they will only ever find my skeleton covered in cobwebs or my mummified body and that means we would have to knock a serious amount off the asking price for the house. |

Apparently Birmingham is Britain's baked bean capital. They should put that on the roadside 'welcome' signs, like Knowsley did with Lambrini and QVC.

Well, why did you think it's always so windy here? I had no idea that that was the case. The only bit of Birmingham I have ever been in is New Street Station. It left a good impression, though, the escalators were pretty high-spec and there was an Upper Crust. |

People brought sweets and cookies into work.
I may have overeaten as I now feel a bit dodgy.

An union European, please. This has really shaken me, I always thought any vowel at the start meant an an was in order. A urologist, an urgent request. A (very) unique flavour, an unctuous flavour. Is there an h word thats an an? An hotel? |
