Why do so many people say "full-time" job when they mean "permanent" job? It seems that the majority use the wrong word, when they are clearly two totally different things. Even on the news today I heard that some workers "had been employed on a temporary basis but are now going to be kept on full-time".
Why does full time have to mean "permanent" I've had a few full time jobs (as in working a full day) but none of them have been permanent.
There are many who have "part time" jobs (as in they don't work a full day) for years and will continue to do so, who don't see themselves as being employed temporarily.
In this day and age of uncertainty can anyone truly say they have a "permanent" job.

That reminds me of one of my favourite Royle family type convo's of the year. Talking with family about permanent jobs and jobs for life my dad said 'nobody has a job for life these days, I only know one person who has been doing the same job for about the last 30 years, old Bill who works in town'
Me '30 years in the same job, blimey that takes some doing, what job does he have'
'he walks around the town centre carrying one of those placards with a message on, been the same message all those years too'
'Eh, his job is to walk around town carrying a placard and he has done that for 30 years and it's always been the same message, what's the message then?'
'The end is nigh'

Last night in The Quiz of the Year or whatever it was called, the one with Jimmy Carr hosting, they had a round where they had the woman who egged Simon Cowell on BGT. She was asked how she got on stage anyway and apparently she was booked to mime as part of the orchestra! What a gig that is, how do I get a job miming as part of a large group right at the back?

Have to say, if a bloke was caught doing this he'd almost certainly have been arrested.

Who was Ruth? Is it as simple as it being the Biblical Ruth?

Funnily enough, I did have a look at that site while posting. I am always a little cautious about internet facts. Very interesting, though.

Why when a poker players sends a fellow player good wishes do they invariably do it twice or more?
As in "glglgl" rather than just "gl"?

Lots of good luck, as opposed to just good luck?

It's meant to be like a chant isn't it? In my head anyway
Like: gogogogogo has more positive emphasis than 'go'.
