It isn’t even the end of January yet and already I have heard the following:
The movie event of the year
and
Surely the best goal we will see this year
which was uttered on NEW YEAR’S DAY FOR GOD’S SAKE
Or
Best book I have read this year
IT’ WAS JANUARY 9th. HOW MANY HAVE YOU READ?!!!! The best of two? Maybe three? Well what does that say? I could have said today:
Dinner of the year, last night
Because it is the only one I have cooked so far. It is a pointless statement. Of course it was dinner of the year, there haven’t been any others.
Last week I heard a film trailed as:
Thriller of the year
Followed this week in a magazine with
It will be the wedding of the year
Despite the fact it is happening in February.
What utter nonsense all these declarations are. I want to outlaw them. The phrase “Best this year” cannot be used before December 1st. Using it in January is wrong. Several shades of wrong.
What do you think?
It’s Ranty Friday. Do click through the blogs that have linked up below and see what others are ranting about this week
Hmm.. well seeing as the paperback of I Should Be So Lucky (by ME) was published at the beginning of January, I’m saying one or two exceptions should be allowed!
Yes!! or the best song so far this year!! (For about 18 days then?)
I’d definitely say that that is the best well-argued protest of the year so far; it is just possible that there may be a better one sometime before 31DEC2013 at which juncture my “LEAGUE TABLE OF PROTESTS” will be reviewed. Keep up the good work!
this just made me laugh … 🙂 xx love your posts!
Here here!!
or should that be “hear hear” ?? I can’t remember which one…
That really winds me up as well! Am linking up a fine rant indeed X
I am feeling your rage – RAWR!
TOTALLY agree, nothing can be ‘of the year’ until the year is over!!
Hey hey hey I described something as the best book I’ve rest this year…it being the 7th at the time – Do I get a pass? 😉
*read…evidently I can’t spell.
I like the theme of this blog hop. I always have something to rant about! I put your button on my pinterest page. Thanks for the hop!
This pees me off too. Because by March they’ll be proclaiming something else “the film of the year” as well. Followed by further films of the year in May, August and November. Have linked up my Facebook rant
