Observations From Two Hours CPD

Hearing the phrase "going forwards" used twice in five minutes is a sure sign you are in for a couple of hours of the aural equivalent of pervasive stale farts.
For all the criticism of the language of ill-educated or simply rebellious teenagers, the real "danger", if one can really use such a term even in quotes in context, to the English language comes from the verbal flatulence of marketeers, professionals seeking to cover up a lack of real consideration of the problems that arise in their field in a mist of bold-sounding adjectives, and dishonest politicians aiming to confuse rather than illuminate their decisions.
And the wine was rubbish too.
