Happy New Year 2018
May I wish all my readers are a very happy New Year!
And as I always want to be helpful, you can find a list of words not to use in 2018 here. To be honest, I don’t think I have ever used (or even come across) ‘nothingburger’, but there you are. It can’t be that impactful, but what the hell, covfefe!

It’s the term gig, or zero hours, contracts that make me furious. Gig for anyone that has ever had one means being hired for a night with no prospect of returning. A one off. If it was more it would be a ‘run’.
And when I hear Zero Hours contracts suit some people like students a steam whistle of pure rage erupts. What zero hours describes is standing outside early in the morning on Kilburn High, or Cricklewood awaiting a nod from some subbie towards a van to work on a building site. Or. Standing outside the closed dock gates while a man in a suit calls names of those that have that days work. Any other description is just flannel and bull.
