Absolutely...nothing!

My latest winge is about the overuse of absolutely in Armidale. Currently Harvey Norman has an advertising campaign saying, I kid you not, "Absolutely almost everywhere" - just say almost everywhere for heavens sakes!

Also, I am quite intrigued by the fact that Dominos Pizza advertises "Do crusts really make your hair curly... Find out yourself" a few days after 'What's good for you' aired an article about crusts... Dominos advertises on channel 9 also!
