I suppose it had to happen.

It seems the word expense has now become a verb. I found this in my FB newsfeed today:

Bronwyn Bishop Expensed $600 in Travel to Former Politician's Wedding,Report Says

The House speaker claimed $600 in flights to Mirabella's wedding in 2006, Fairfax media reported. Bishop was placed on probation earlier this week for expensing travel to a party fundraiser.

:D:D:D

that's what we call the evolution of language.

Well, she ele,  we all  should of  known

So if she was on probation, is she on double probation. Or did that probation end and dodgy dealings are accepted until caught out again and then you just get probation again and when that ends just do dodgy stuff again and ride the dodgy merry go round in and out of probation

[gleee58]

It's more about how she has expensed and is expensing her entitlements.

Apparently she put that down to "official business" as well. Gee I hope we didn't buy the wedding presents too

Apparently if you pay peanuts you get monkeys. So we should be glad we have the expensive criminals that we have. They are so obviously better than monkeys.

. . . .  Ummm . . . folks . . .  I don't want to dictate to anyone what you should or shouldn't post in this thread, but I did actually want it to be about crimes done to the English language.

[debra9275]

Ooops Sorry She-ele

[monman12]

What crimes?

"This is the sort of English up with which I will not put".
