Not racing related but probably not long before it is...
Twice in quick succession with the BBC News channel on in the background I've heard people start replying to questions with, "So...", and it's another thing that really gets on my tackitybits.
I should probably turn the TV off as I'm supposed to be monitoring my blood pressure (literally - with the machine etc) this week and this kind of manufactured verbal diarrhoea will do nothing to keep it lower.
When did it start and who started it?
I presume it started in America, where most shite of this nature starts, but is there nobody higher up in TV who can say to their presenters and reporters not to use this meaningless Americanism? (I love Americans, by the way.)
The day the racing presenters and reporters start using it is the day I stop watching racing on TV. The thought of Chapman and Harvey, who are both annoying beyond belief as it is, starting every other sentence with, "So...", will risk my TV suffering irreparable damage by means of my size sevens crashing through the screen.
Fvck. Where's that monitor...
