Scroll through an FB news feed and it becomes patently obvious humans hold an attachment to rhetorically redundant statements such as “we can’t wait” or “you’ll never believe”. Ignoring the marketing influence inclusive to media practices prevalent on fora such as FB, does this indicate some form of comfort taken in including reference to the fallibility of human perspective in common language or is it simply a means to draw attention to a topic someone wishes to raise?

Is this habit of speech the greater accomplice to inter-cultural misunderstanding over specific elements such as religious counter-intuitiveness?

It often seems to be used to draw attention to some topic which when you read it is actually quite boring or uninteresting to anyone but the original poster. I find it quite amusing that you could post something like “Feeling sad, my dog died” and people will like your comment

That’s bad enough but my pet peeve is the ABC (& a few others) putting the same words in a post 3 times & today 4 times.
1) Charities get rebate for landfill costs and other help to deal with unsuitable donations
2) The WA Government has announced a rebate for charities that are forced to spend thousands of dollars every year sending unsuitable donations to landfill.
3) The WA Government has announced a rebate for charities that are forced to spend thousands of dollars every year sending unsuitable donations to landfill.
4) “Grass clippings, dead fish, mattresses and lounge chairs that none of us would sit on.”

Alright,,, this is a Brexit Broadcasting Corporation public service announcement so listen sharp!

Be advised that only “Light Evaporated Milk” has the consistency and good manners required for a jolly good cup of tea, owing entirely to the exclusive “light” evaporation. It’s good for the jolly old British spirit and absolutely nothing to do with watering down your rations so they go round………………. oh drat and blast and jolly well bugger it all to hell…………

Okay passengers… if you would be so kind as to Brexit in an orderly fashion to the right hand side of the spacecraft it would be very much appreciated by upper and middle management……

Mind you don’t trample any of France’s roses on your way through. We don’t want them flinging their shit at us seeing as they loiter like derelicts on our doorstep and porch……..

It’s extraordinary you know? All this tomfoolery……….

…. so we’ve decided to do something about it! Tim’s, yes, you heard right, Tim’s. Less easy to fool….. ery…. and of greater resale value than Tom’s, especially if Tim comes in white.

Good then! Another example of silliness knocked on the head before it got out of hand. As you were……………

Would you mind repeating that to my face…. Tim?

I’m starting to wonder who writes my lines…………..

As soon as someone builds me an electric cigar clipper/lighter I’ll get them to declare civilisation properly civilised and we can all get on with it. I want to use it to cleanly cauterise the heads from Aunty Penny’s chooks, you see…… Christmas should be less bloody…….

..run run run run run…

… Cease Running! Cease Running!…..Did anyone here a loud banging a little like two really really really dense lumps of elemental metal being clapped together?

Anyone?

collectively

No, no, no, did you? Do you mean as dense as something that has been pushed down really hard with something you push down with?…..no I don’t think so…..

.. Continue Running!

• ….. run run run run run run run run run…..*

……… and so, the fit of pique that has drawn our heroes down the highway of iniquities has led to desperate and rampaging silliness all round. Whatever shall we do? No really…… it’s starting to bother me!

… run run run….. everybody still running? Haven’t lost anyone down a rabbit hole? Good! Good……. run run run run run……….

……………………………………. Interview de l’chevaleresques …………………………………………….

I’m really quite excited to present our latest finding from the Holy Grail archives…….

In today’s world blighted with pestilence and poverty the community need strong guidance. To speak about that I have with me one of the Knight’s of The Round Table, Sir Lancelot…..

Sir Lancelot, how are you?

……………………………………….

SIR Lancelot!

Oh, sorry didn’t see you there……… how are you? It’s good to be here.

I could use a bath. I am told you “sing and dance and prance a lot”?

Really? Oh that! No no that was just a part of the initiation ritual for some squires we hired. Keeps them on their toes not knowing what to expect in training. You don’t think we’d have more serious things to do at the actual table than all that silliness do you?

Perhaps not. May I ask why it is you have not initiated eye contact? You seem to be distracted by something over my head?

I don’t mean to offend, it is part of a Knight of The Table’s skills. I can see every detail of you in my peripheral vision while scanning the horizon for the enemy.

It also helps for having divine visions, here watch.

There you go. Just had a vision of something that already happened. Two things actually. Difficult to do two visions but I did it for you to show you a little of the attributes of a professional in my field.

Yes, yes very impressive. Visions. Very clever. Do you think you could look at me for the rest of the interview? I’m finding your professionalism disquieting.

Look at you? Sure no problem….

.. run run run run… think I heard something just then… run run run… doesn’t matter probably silly………. run run run run run run run run run………..

Yeah but no but yeah but no but….

… no but yeah but no but NO? Really? Must be too good for ya! Too bad! I’m goin ta Brexit!

… so you can eat it yeah? Loser….

don’t have a cow about it , Brexit will be good

I think we must really somewhere… under the filing cabinet or… we must have a plan for this. Why did they call it “Brexit”? How do you even take that seriously let alone plan for it? “Come up with a plan for Brexit?” How about every morning between 6:30 and 7am Porridge?

I dare say some of you need a tad more roughage in your diet……..

if the EU imposes sanctions fine

We’ll pull back the British army from Europe and tell them to deal with Russia themselves

We’ll laugh
