Haha, I had no idea this would provoke such debate... to those saying 'thing' makes more sense, I really don't see how it does - 'your first thought was wrong, think again'.

Same here - and it's not that often Toph and I agree

[dimtimjim]

Thats you agreeing with Toph, not him agreeing with you - thats a different thinK altogether.

[Nicola_Red]

Ha, that's a good point

[dimtimjim]

As I said to the drawing pin...

[MK Chris]

The pedants agree, surely that's a sign they're right! All we need is Yudster to agree and then you lot are definitely wrong...

I suppose it does matter as to the context in which you originally heard it.

Take my wonderfull childhood memories of my Mother battering me, and then me sat on my bed crying, when she said "Well if you think you're lying there all day you've got another thing coming" I assumed it meant, by thing, as another punch in the face.

Hey hoe!

However it is a jolly interesting debate.

Wot he said, but with less domestic violence.

[Yudster]

If you think I'm going to get involved in this you've got another think coming.

It originally was/is "think", my old granny used to use it all the time. If she was still alive she'd be 113 so I reckon that's a good historical perspective.

Having said that, "thing" works perfectly well for similar contexts, so why not?

Annoying me today is the idiots on bikes as I'm walking home from school! They don't look where they're going.

[a-moron]

I had an idiot on my bike once. Had a lovely temperament so he did. Also very courteous to pedestrians. Always looking where he was going.

His only real idiocy came from him persisting on saying you're instead of your.

No, scrap that that. He was a *.

You really are worth it Badge!

Jessops going bust has made me a sad puppy. I don't think there are any camera shop chains left after both they and JAcobs went under. Amazon it is for future lens and flash purposes then.

[Misfit]

You a fellow tog as well bruvva?

and whats annoying me is my bullshit university telling us that we have six days to re apply for our third year (which is completely different to everything they've told us for the past 1 and half years) and this application is a full ucas app with personal statement, references from scratch. and we only found out as a lad emailed uni enquiring about something else and added this a quick question not expecting this answer. ffs. bolton, why you so crap.

We've a branch of London Camera Exchange in Colchester and they are excellent. They have a few branches apparently but it always feels like an independent to me. http://www.lcegroup.co.uk/

Dunno, we have a sickening feeling its so that we have to pay the higher fees. Which is a bollocking

I've turned into a takeaway junkie again. I seriously need to snap out of it.

[Misfit]

this is bloody awful. I'm gonna warn you, dont look if you dont want to be shocked, its got domestic violence in it. People who film these things shouldnt be allowed to roam the earth and should be locked up somewhere.

edit: also, the people who do that as well as the camera operater should be locked up as well.

and the worst thing is people liking it on facebook saying she got what she deserved.

My track day trip to Portugal has been cancelled - lack of numbers. So, although the organiser has offered us an alternate event in Spain - and added a 50% discount (£260 each), we'd already booked flights to Portugal which were £473 for two of us. So, that lovely 50% discount actually means we're £7 down, each. Not the end of the world, but still ruddy annoying.

So, anyone want some cheap flights to Portugal (East Mids to Faro) for the Easter weekend, let me know!

[chrysostom]

Hmm, what are the dates?

[Boboff]

31st March is Easter Sunday
