I was climbing over a railing to get into the yard. I’d left my keys at home and just couldn’t be arsed (no pun intended) returning for them.. None of this is true but Christ it’s the most interesting thread title I’ve seen for a while!

This is what we have:

Storage solutions

Aargh! broken shoes

Recommend me a long reach hedge trimmer

How big do artichokes grow?

Foam roller buying advice sought please

What’s happened to STW? What’s happened to those threads that
generated diaphragm twanging laughter and loads of equally
funny retorts? It seems to be a tedious melange of DIY questions,
bad neighbour venting and well, just look at the titles above.

clicked with trepidation

glad no photos

You’ll understand when you get older.

Very disappointed!

I’ve noticed a dearth in interesting threads just lately too but unfortunately I’m not imaginative enough to start a good one and my life is far too dull to have anything particularly interesting to report.

You could always try starting a thread with an amusing title yourself.

Everything in moderation, or should that be everything… .

I clicked on the thread title, can someone mail me if it is safe to peek between my fingers yet……?

Calling Paceman to the Perineum thread…

Many years ago not knowing the word perineum, we made up the word Manunga to describe that part of the body.

righog – who’s we? You and our “secret friend?”

I had a Merck medical reference on CD many moons (again no pun intended) ago. You could look up any disease or body part and ask for an audio pronunciation. Perineum was my favourite, especially in an American accent.

I’ve always known it as no man’s land or Biffin’s Bridge.

We called it the twomfa

righog – who’s we? You and our “secret friend?”

I thought we agreed not to speak of Her !

Your not the first to pick me up on the use of the word “We” or just “W” but they are usually non native English speakers, I think it’s a Geordie thing.

But in this case it was WE as it was the new word was required by someone else due to there Dry perineum.

twomfa is a better word 🙂

Dear Derek

This is not really about STW though ,is it?
It’s you and your fear of no distractions.
No interesting threads means that you then focus on all of the putrid mess that makes up your day.
Like a dark bottomless pit waiting to swallow you up.
This is what happens if you rely on the internet for all your needs.

Only joking 😉 🙂 😮 😆 🙄 😈

Here’s a photo of a cat

To be fair to Derek. He has provided one of the more memorable STW threads in recent times.

…done **** all for the last 4 years, tho 😀

It’s not a new thing, I started a similar thread about 3 years ago! 🙂

Maybe we need to introduce a scale to determine the most interesting threads, we could even call it the Starship Scale and mark threads according to how many “Dereks” it scores – 1-5 seems sensible.

Changing demographic.

I like the Starship Scale idea, that comment alone must surely add one Derek to this thread.

I was thinking exactly the same thing as Mr starship myself just yesterday, no threads grabbing my attention or raising a smile…then I started a thread about foam rollers… 😐

I had some very useful and informative replies. 😀

I was expecting some sort of teabagging-related injury.

And on boys it’s the “barse” BTW, as any fule no; the female equivalent is the “chinrest.”

Thought the lady equivalent was ‘Biffins Bridge’?

It’s your Notcha.

Notcha arse
Notcha balls

I cycled to work today, went to get changed and realised I didn’t have any trousers.

The majority of the forumites have aged and become excruciatingly middle class.

Testicular de-gloving is always a cringeworthy one. Happens when you wear a 6-point harness in a race car and don’t do the crotch straps up tightly (and then have a crash/impact)

Warning… Don’t follow the link if you are just about to have dinner or sex.

Ooh god that looks a bit sore… ‘The patient appeared in distress’ Not bloody surprised!

Testicular de-gloving

A mate of mine had similar when he went over the bars and caught his sack on a thumb shifter. Apparently it was more of a rip than a de-glove, but his balls popped out all the same.

Testicular de-gloving

A phrase that should NOT exist.

When I used to handle motor injury claims, the petrol cap on some motorbike fuel tanks wasn’t always flush……. 😳

I always bottle it from starting threads other than bike related stuff ’cause people put some pretty cutting responses in some threads.

Much of the forum reminds me of Which? Magazine
😮
