Southern Englishers, perhaps. It's common parlance here. I have a meeting tomorrow, I'll be wearing a shirt and pants.

The OP doesn't specify what sort of meeting - maybe it's with Bonnie Blue.
WTF is all this calling a drawer a draw? It seems to be used a lot (alot 🤨) on here.

As much as people using alot when they should be using a lot? Two words, not one.
I bet if I looked away back in this thread I'd find this but it has to be the farmers/contractors who chew up the hedges but why can't they get an implement that can blow the debris back into the field.

Whoosh. Yeah, I know that hence the emoji.
Oh flip's sake, I missed that completely. Now I am cross at myself.
Just seen this advert in the paper - it annoyed me as it's underhand with the way it reads as it implies a TV Licence gives you access to loads of services - pay TV, Sky, Amazon. It gives you access to zilch, it's just a legal requirement to watch live TV. If they've got money to chuck at full page spreads in national papers at least be honest about what a TV licence is...
Google photos face recognition. It's laughably bad, and what is really annoying is that it offers no way to tell it that it's got the wrong person. Picasa did this better 10 years ago.

That's one for the ASA, surely. Even for the cunch of bunts that is TV Licensing, that's disgraceful behaviour.
MrsJ uses the vacuum at max power to pick up the smallest mote of dust, tiny feather, or whatever. It's like living on the deck of an aircraft carrier.
Flashing Christmas lights.
Why isn't "Steady On" the default setting?
We have five sets of multifunctional lights that each require either 7 or 8 presses of the tiny buttons through various seizure inducing functions to get to a state that doesn't strobe.
****ers.

Yes. Annoying because the ones we have on a timer on the shed default to epilepsy mode every time they are switched back on, rendering the timer largely pointless as I have to go to the shed to change them. Outside tree set have a last-mode memory in them, therefore always come on steady but are switched manually.
I feel like there is a remedy to my issue. 🤔

Apart from some, (tasteful according to SWMBO) illuminated sticks in the living room, that's literally all the decorations we have.

BBC news punting local sob stories and/or having multiple news stories of the same event... think I need to make more use of my guardian subscription before I start raging at my phone.
BBC news punting local sob stories
They had one the other day about someone not being able to sell their holiday flat on Anglesey the other day. I'm sure that a local would love to buy it. The story really is that they couldn't sell it for the price that they wanted.
Anyway. Today's moan is about Christmas Puddings. The missus has insisted that we buy four of the ****ers so that we can spread them out over the festive period. One is enough. I look at them with dread, the stodgy bastards.

Those Christmas puddings have really upset you, haven't they? 😀
Today, a text from a delivery company saying the package will be here by 12pm and now, at 12:30pm it isn't here and I need to go out shortly.
Finally succumbing to the brute force marketing attack from Laithwaites and buying a case of wine (which I really like). I know it's not worth RRP, but first they discount it, then offer free postage and then tempt you further with the subs model which is another 20% off. It's actually easy to cancel, you don't have to go through 14 stages proxied by a bunch of AI bots.
Even so, I really should just unsubscribe and use the very good local wine shop, or go random supermarket sweep at Morrison. But I'm lazy and biddable so I don't 🙁
We only have on xmas pudding tho, so I'm having a better day the HtS 🙂
I live on a terraced street so it's not always possible to park near your own house. When I park across the road, someone always spits on the side window of my van. It's not the spitting that irks me, it's that I can't prove who it is so I can suggest to them that they seek some kind of therapy. They are obviously carrying some internal anger, possibly at their own impotence, which is causing them to behave like this. Imagine living with someone like that.
Gift vouchers that run out! I'm looking at you BikeparkWales - the wife got me a £50 voucher for Christmas last year and for various mostly injury, reasons I haven't been able to use it this year. I just dug it out so I could book something up in spring and it "ran out" a couple of weeks ago. To my mind they've just stolen £50 off me. It'#s worth as much next year as it was last - I'm fuming.
It might be worth an email / phone call to get it reissued?
I can see why an expiry would be necessary, otherwise someone could rock up with a card from 1973. A couple of weeks out is crap though.
There was a thread in 2016 a thread in 2016 the upshot of which was "tough s**t, that's policy, it says so on the voucher" but I can't see any justification for it - it's a cash balance redeemable at point of use. I'm literally guaranteed to use it and it's better PR/goodwill to honour it than it is to stiff me and **** me off. This practice should be banned for all vouchers, period. There's a tiny justification for it if it's an uplift day that's been bought and the prices go up but I had to make up the difference just as much in January or 3 weeks ago as I do now. It's a cash value of £50 which they've just nicked.
Being blamed for the lack of Christmas cake by the time family visit on Christmas day. You know me. You know that massive Christmas cake you made which I ate. Ofc a super market cake is completely insufficient. Doesn't take a rocket scientist. Bought a Christmas tree for £50, but a two tenners for enough Christmas cake to last more than three days is a no go for our budget.
Ask HtS for a xmas pud donation ? Icing on the top , no one will ever know. . .

We put the tree and decorations up yesterday - pine needles and tinsel everywhere. Went to get the hoover to clean it up this morning - MrsMC has dismantled it to give the worlds slowest drying filter a wash.
Didn't think to wash it before the usual Christmas mess, didn't think to hoover up the mess before washing it.
Grrr
