Re Bored of: I hate this!
It seems to me that it's only become common in recent years, and I assumed it was a mistake caused by people simply equating "bored with" and "Sick of" or "Tired of". I'm too old to accept people changing perfectly adequate phrases for new ones with no useful change in nuance or meaning!
