Fairy lights.

It doesn't matter how careful you are when you put them away in January, by December the b@stard things are significantly tangled.

Vicars always wearing dog collars, even on game shows. You're not giving any sermons, you're not baptising someone, but no, you just have to let people know that you're better than they are (cos that's what it's for).

 

It's not like surgeons come on in a gown or firemen have their uniform on.

Basically vegans that believe in god.

Bit harsh. They have to wear it all the time as their act of penance to God. 
 

They also wear it all the time as their ‘orders’ are to be permanently ‘available’ to others as part of their holy orders.

 

Its not about them trying to be ‘better’ than anyone else.

I'm no fan of religion but this is simply your projection of what it means to others.

No they don't and to be fair, not all do, which is how I know this.

 

So if McIntyre had wanted to confess his sins to comedy on the wheel last night, she'd have been obliged to take them?

Mother-in-law's "sage" advice in helping us deal with my kids bout of chickenpox.

 

She didn't recommend a course of leeches, but it's not far off.

The new (ish) culture of being asked to give reviews or feedback about services on just about everything. City sending emails after every home game now asking for you to share your experience 

 

I have to ask people as part of my job and it's just pure overkill. I wish we just let people share stuff when they want to, rather than box ticking for the sake of it.

Unbelievably I was just thinking this. An estate agent just asked me for a review for some work they did. The work was rolling forward a document and changing a name and date. And being charged £180 for the pleasure. What kind of review do you expect for that?!?!

Certain posters who think you'e 'odd' or 'weird'; just because another poster stated something on a topic that wasn't odd or weird at all..

 

Plus posters who make disparaging remarks to a certain poster for very little reason and certain mates of theirs liking their post.

We’re all a bit odd and weird in our own special way.

 

It’s good to be different and stand out sometimes  - who wants to be boring and normal anyway?

 

See it as a positive and embrace it. You’re one of my favourite posters on here Wymsey.

The interesting posters are those who bring something different to the forum Wymsey. Don't let it bother you and keep posting 👍

I remember having a bath in tepid water liberally mixed with calamine lotion.

 

I might as well been doused in pink oil.

 

I asked my mum some years later and she explained as English wasn't my dad's first language, he misinterpreted the instruction to "take a warm bath and then liberally apply lotion to the affected areas".

Virgin media are useless. Ordered new broadband with the kit due to come on the 4th and it's still not here (despite Yodel saying it has been delivered when it hasn't). Got no internet because of it. Thinking of cancelling via 14 day cooling off period.

The shit farmers are getting all because the green eyed monster sees asset wealth despite the industry being cash poor.

Isn’t passing on land a moot point with regards to actual wealth if the off spring retain that land to farm which is probably what they will do, why do we want them to have to sell to pay inheritance tax until there is nothing to sell and our countryside and ability to naturally produce our own food is covered in bricks and mortar?

Principal? yeah lets fight for payrises of industries that provide a bad service, lets give bonuses to industries to get their employees to work 5 days week etc.

Regardless of farming type they receive pennies in the pound for the graft they put into producing food for our plates, glasses and exports.

A cattle farmer will tend to a cow from birth to slaughter yet receive little over double for the entire cow than a chef in london will charge for a single steak meal, a steak they have had for under 12hrs but let’s all rise up & be sad when a restaurant has to close its doors.

 

What is it they say will happen when the bee becomes extinct?
