I will never forget boarding the early morning Calais Ferry, the Monday after the Herald of Free Enterprise disaster, to the strains of 'To France' over the Tannoy...
Taking on water, Sailing a restless sea From a memory, A fantasy. The wind carries Into white water, Far from the islands. Don't you know you're
*Never going to get to France.*Meanwhile the phrase I hate is 'going forward'. 4 ridiculous syllables to replace the far more accurate 3 in 'in future'
Not to mention the Kitten. (At least that had four wheels.)
That did cross my mind, just after I'd posted. However, the kitten and the three-wheelers just don't compare to the Scimitar - and I'd definitely consider that a "famous" model.

No such thing as a troll, that activity would be pointless. I just have a different opinion to the unwashed masses, which ends up being funny/annoying.
I would accept "you can have my book" (we assume "with my permission"), but for "you can't do that" I would say "you shouldn't do that", or "you're not allowed to do that". Saying you can't do something which you've just done is laughably illogical.

WE all have a different opinion to the masses, and the troll part is whether we go on about it a lot.
