I have been chatting to a new lady for a few days but yesterday she outed herself as a flat earther. That's her done. I don't have time for that nonsense in my life.

But the evidence is out there. Do your own research.
I saw a bus this morning with it's rear fog light on. A BUS! Every part of it lit up! Completely visible! And.. and... It's hard to say this, but it was just raining! No fog anywhere. My stomach is still in knots.

I'm not entirely confident that I would have been able to resist the opportunity to **** with her. "Oh, you don't believe 'flat earth' do you? That's what They want you to think."
What an amateur, hollow earth is where it’s at.

Bullet dodged!
That's _they_ want you to think
Has anyone mentioned the advert for "Tik Tock" on spotify yet?
Something about "parental controls for teens, keeping your kids safe, blah blah blah, so they can concentrate on their new hobby of trainspotting"
cue a textbook sound effect of a steam train:
CHUFF CHUFF CHUFF CHUFF
voiceover:
"there goes a class 78 electro-diesel, apparently"
WELL APPARENTLY NOT, MUM. If you got your head out of your phone you might learn something too.

They have to keep it on as they're easily mist.

Auto lights, and the concomitant deskilling that comes with similar. I turn them off as wel
I don’t, and I keep my auto wipers on as well. I find both to be rather handy.
Fine, I thought, I'll use my usual trick of a phone number from my childhood that I can still remember. But, oh no, it has to be a 12 digit PIN. 12 digits! That's mental.
You could do what I do, use an old car registration along with part of the car make or model, using different characters and numbers to obfuscate the words. I just tried it with one of my old car registrations, and 12 characters fell short of the password I’ve used in the past. Easier to remember something like that.
Today's irritation: Companies / organisations whose branding features "Find us on Google / Facebook" but no real identification of their business. Yeah, I'll just search for "The white van in the Sainsbury's car park" or "The coffee shop that was shut when I rode past but might be interesting to stop at if I can ride there when it's open" shall I?
how the wife always manages to find a way to completely fill the bins up within 2 days of them getting emptied. No idea how she does it. She was away in Magaluf a few months ago for a colleagues 50th birthday party for 5 days. I didn't even get the bin half full in that time. She got back, filled it up within a few hours, I emptied it, she'd filled it up again by the end of the next day.
I've literally no idea how she does it, I've even glanced at the contents sometimes and think "yeah yeah, I mean it IS all bin stuff" I've come to the conclusion it must be how she's actually putting things in the bin, like a bad game of tetris. But I'm not gonna open that can of worms by bringing it up.
"the wife"
As opposed to "a wife" I guess.
Or “my wife”?
What would someone else's wife be doing in your bins?
who knows what shennaningans got on while "the wife" was in magaluf.
Anything has to be better than the vomit inducing "wifey".
People showing me pictures of products they're planning to make for someone(plywood furniture in this case) and saying, 'they want £600 for that. It's only 2 sheets of ply' or whatever.
Failing to remember all of the design and development that went into bringing it into reality, tools, equipment, large industrial unit rental, taxes etc etc... 🙄
No wonder it was hard to make a decent wage self employed.

A guy goes into a corner shop to buy something. He takes the item the the counter, the shopkeeper says "that will be two pounds 99p please, sir."
"£2.99?" says the customer, "it's only £2.40 in Tesco!"
"Well, go there then," replies the shopkeeper.
"But Tesco is on the other side of town!" wails the customer.
"Then that will be £2.99 please, sir."

Is that what it looks like with ads? Holy mother.
Yep, they've gone for the full adware infested look. All that's missing is some obnoxious music auto-playing at full volume.
There are adverts, that you can't close, stacked on top of adverts. The only one that disappears is the iPlayer one which leaves behind an opaque stripe.
Ha, I came in here to say exactly the same. Well I tried to but the adverts got in the way.

I attended site to inspect a Fire suppression system a while back. Took roughly an hour, the site manager was moaning that he’d payed enough for a day rate.
A. I don’t get paid whatever he was charged
B. Fine get the plasterer to sign it off then.

I was thinking of unsubscribing after the deletion of the
Manification of things.
I don't have a "man bag," I have a bag. It's not boysturiser, and if I wore such a thing it wouldn't be guyliner.
I'll give a special pass for chapstick but that's it.
*points and laughs*
Cougar has a manbag!

There's no such thing as a "Kini" so why is it "Mankini"...
If anything, it's an over-the-shoulder-thong
An acquaintance was describing how their work that day had been to take apart something they had previously installed. They referred to this as a "debuild". WTF.
MrsMC has started agreeing with people by a loud "ABSOLUTELY". Every ****ing time.
Luckily she rarely agrees with me
Oooooh - saucer of cream sir? 🙂

See also 'Deconstructed' in association with foodstuffs. F right off.

This annoys me because it blatantly isn't deconstructed. What you've got there is "not constructed."

yeah. 'Deconstructed' is when you drop your mixed kebab on the pavement at 3am after too many Jager-bombs
Boss at work decided most of us need to attend 'hackathons' every week, which is when we get together to waste several hours whilst our workload went unmanaged.
'oh do **** off' was not the response they were expecting...

Pick up the 'Organic' peanut butter in Tesco. It's got palm oil in it! Responsibly farmed and fair trade etc, of course. No thanks.
