The University of Rocket Science

Posted on November 17, 2008 by Martyn

There are certain employment opportunities in life I 1x1.trans The University of Rocket Sciencewould prefer to avoid, others I would like to grasp with tightly clenched white knuckled hands and ones that just bloody well annoy me. At my tender age I can thankfully excuse any career openings in the art of transporting bricks up ladders to someone earning twice my wage. My longing for a career in some alcohol enriched tabloid world is on a comparison with Rebecca Loos prospects of ever becoming Victoria Beckham’s PR secretary. That just leaves bloody well annoys me. I was browsing the net this morning and stumbled on or perhaps stumbled over, yet another University Researchers compilation and it bloody well annoyed me.

The City University of London pay a salary in excess of £20000 to their Research and Analogous Staff and whilst the article I read was not related to them it does give some idea of the salaries being paid somewhere within these research programs. The article was compiled by an Oxford University research team and before you burst out your door and run down the soi shouting “I am going home to work in Anal Research,” scaring the hell out of your fellow farang neighbours, please take a look at the wasted money spent to produce the assembled fonts below.

                            The Top 10 Irritating Expressions

1     At the end of the day

2     Fairly unique

3     I personally

4     At this moment in time

5     With all due respect

6     Absolutely

7     It’s a nightmare

8     Shouldn’t of (instead of shouldn’t have)

10    It’s not rocket science

Oxford University Researchers you have bloody well asked for this and here it comes……..If you have any fairly unique comments to make about the Top 10 Irritating Expressions List then please enter them in the comments box below. The comments box is open 24/7 but at the end of the day, with all due respect, using it is entirely your choice. It’s not rocket science. Hoo Don

    My dear boy at this moment in time I personally am enjoying a cup of tea reading your post. Lets face it at the end of the day life here in LOS is not the 24/7 rat race found in the UK. I actually find it a fairly unique experience. I am sure it doesn’t take rocket science to figure out that I couldn’t fit shouldn’t of into my comment!
