I still say that I 'buy' games, rather than saying that I rent them temporarily on condition that I adhere to a strict set of provisions.
I will maim whoever decided that Pluto wasn`t a planet. I used to think of it as the Snarf of the universe,but he shouldn`t be COMPLETELY forgotten!Xsjadoblayde said:I still refer to Pluto as a planet.
Woolworths? Safeway? Have you traveled back to the 90s... oh, you are from Australia. Those those have long since been dead here in the UK. Also yeah we have the Westfield virus here too. Started out in the west, the the east for the olympics that effected local businesses with their crowd bottlenecking, they are soon making their way south and in the next decade up north. London I mean.Joccaren said:Oh boy.
Alright, so right from the start, fucking Woolworths. Where I live, was always called Safeways, and the damn slogan ran better with Safeways anyway. Now they've renamed all their stores to Woolworths everywhere. Nope. They are still safeways, and nobody is ever going to stop calling them that.
Also, the damn "Westfield" group. Buying up a bunch of shopping centers seemingly country wide where I live, and trying to rename them all to "Westfield [Suburb name]". I know literally no-one who calls them by that name. They are all referred to by their original names pre-takeover, and even the bus routes can't be arsed changing their stop names half the time.
Same goes for almost anything rebranded around here. We don't care about its new name, it is what it damn well always was.
Haha, yeah, sadly they're one of the two options we get down here. Well, the two guaranteed to be within an hours drive of you anyway. Aldi is also somewhat common, but just doesn't stock the same sort of stuff most of the time, so unless we want to give Coles a monopoly we've got to put up with them. Not that the current Oligopoly is a ton better...Parasondox said:Woolworths? Safeway? Have you traveled back to the 90s... oh, you are from Australia.

It still wanders this solar system, oblivious to its' new dismissive status. Nobody passed on the memo. God-speed, Pluto...God.

You and me both pal.Scarim Coral said:I sometime still refere WWE to WWF.
Yes I know the World Wildlife Federation won the right to the initial but dammit I watched WWF as a kid with the likes of Hulk Hogen and The Undertaker!
What? I haven't seen a F1 race in years (got bored), they call that track "The Red Bull Ring" now? Jesus that is lame.Parasondox said:For the Motorsports fans out there. The Red Bull Ring. I will call it the "A1 Ring" of old. Neat track.
Some still call a Nissan a Datsun for some reason. I dunno.
Yeah, it's owned by Red Bull and they have brought many brands and just renamed them Red Bull somethingWintermute said:What?
