We need to ban the word "issue". People are overusing it. It's now a generic term that could mean almost anything. When I were a lad, an issue was one of a series of magazines. Instead of "health and safety issue", try saying "it's sharp", "it's explosive", or "it's slippery".

Hmmm, 37, that doesn't get us back to Nelson. So no lash, press gang,

He was talking about his IQ, not his age

That would be 135.

That still doesn't get us back to Nelson.

You'd be surprised what a man in his 130s can do.

You have yet to explain why that's such a bad thing. You're probably not bigoted because you just follow the rest of the crowd. It's easier that way.

No - 37 sounds closer to the mark

lets face it your command of the english language is somewhat stunted,

As I said before, my English is fine. It may not be perfect, but there is no point in perfecting it for perfection's sake.

your ability to adapt to your environment is pretty crap,

What the hell are you on about now?

you're an all round loser,

Nobody but trolls use words like that. Too generic.

not what I would really call intelligent

Moreso than you though.

just another stupid troll hiding behind a monitor and kbd

Me? I'm just stating my opinion.

Strange - I thought that even you can't be so stupid as to confuse a
bird with a bamboo stalk - I was obviously wrong

I didn't. Where did I say they were the same? And you tell me I have a problem understanding English.....

We no longer have problems to be solved we have an issues.

In her first job, my daughter was told she wasn't allowed to say
'problem'. She had to say 'issue'!

"Problem" implies some sort of personal failure, such as might be
dealt with by a social worker, or incompetence, whereas "issue"
suggests a challenge.

OMG! What was I thinking?

couldn't you make the scaffolding out of plastic pipe?

Bamboo is a possibilty. But that has a fire risk...

Have you ever tried setting fire to bamboo?



Oh yes. Every year.

If I was her I would have told them to shove their job. I could not

I'd have used the words as appropiate and told them if they had a problem
with that it was their issue.
