dearieme's twaddle example for today
Commenter dearieme has suggested regular posts on twaddle encountered while browsing the internet. Good idea, submissions welcome - if I receive them I'll post them. It probably won't be particularly regular as nobody wishes to spend too much time in twaddle swamps.

dearieme - I think people who can read markets and economic trends keep it to themselves.

Doonhamer - yes it could easily be part of a comedy sketch, a parody of business babble for example.

I just love Peter Sellers' impersonation of Alec Guinness in 'Kind hearts and coronets', which isn't actually twaddle, but just a fabulous description...

Priceless!
Scrobs - thanks, I'll look that up, I can already tell it's priceless.
