Stating the obvious

[Mad Doug Biker]

I have just got off the phone from one of the guys who runs the local Brain Injury group and they are having a trip out to one of the islands on Loch Lomond next week.

His words were

'It's from Luss, on a boat'

No!! I though we would be cycling!

What examples do you have of people stating the bloody obvious?

Something related.

One new staff member a few years ago was given a job on the Isle of Wight for a couple of weeks.

'Great' they said...'I've always wondered what its like to live on a island...'
Someone pointed to the wall map of the UK and came back with 'You already do'

Still, not as bad as some YT videos where folk are asked about geography.............

That one I can sort of understand, probably means a small island, still worth taking the pee though. 🤣

How many times have you heard someone say, 'he killed him dead?'

As if being killed's not bad enough, being killed dead is just going too far.

Murdered to death

There's the classic Doctor Who series "The Deadly Assassin", presumably to distinguish it from the mildy hazardous assassin

Madness - "Our house - in the middle of our street"
Well it's not going to be in the middle of someone else's street, is it ?

Well - to be honest - when that came out I always thought
Funny that - most houses are at the side of the street so the cars can get through

clearly except for that farm in the middle of the M6 somewhere up by Cumbria

A Murray Walker classic...

I think its the one in the middle of the M62, Stott Hall Farm.

Football, it's a game of two halves.

EDITED.

Isn't there a famous boat race gaffe?:

On a foggy day, the commentator comes out with ' I can't tell who's in front, its either Oxford or Cambridge...'.
Unlikely to be anyone else.

TV Pundits who ask "What do [team] have to do, to win today?"

Forgive me if I am wrong, but I think they need to score more points than the opposing team

Definitely overkill!
