My sister in law has been complaining that her electricity bills have been ridiculously high since she moved into her house just over 17 years ago.
She has recently found out why.
She has had her immersion heater on since she moved in.

My friends wife drives a 30 mile round trip twice a day because she "doesn't like" the local pre school.
Surely nothing ever in the entire history of human struggle, will ever top the pointless, fruitless and entirely futile profligacy of the Edinburgh Trams Project.

We often have ours on all day, it doesn't seem to have much of an effect.

A guy at work went up into his loft to get something & found the electric fan heater he'd put up there to stop the pipes freezing was on - it had been on for about 3 years apparently

I dunno, Edinburgh did pretty well with the parliament building too
Weddings.
The idea of two people demonstrating that they like one another enough to commit to spending their lives together is great, smashing, super.
The industry which has sprung up around the crass social oneupmanship which accompanies this is appalling.

I concur 100%. When I hear of the money people spend on weddings I can only roll my eyes & shake my head.
We got married 3 years ago, had 30 people at a proper good local inn & the whole cost was £1500. Miles better than my 1st lavish affair that cost about 5K (in 1981)
& people who spend more than 2K on a bike are stoopid.

Wow, now that IS a waste of money.
I'd rather spend the money on ditching the 1970's wing mirrors and putting some door mirrors on (heated of course).
High horses....what a waste 😉
Oh and my wedding cost £56 (excluding rings tbf)....:-)

Kelly Osbourne wore an extremely expensive item to the 2012 Emmys on Sunday — but it’s not the type of accessory you might think.The “Fashion Police” host donned a $250,000 Black Diamond manicure, courtesy of Los Angeles-based jeweler Azature.
The nail polish contains 267 carats of crushed black diamond powder in each bottle, which explains the quarter-of-a-million-dollar price tag.
Osbourne told E! on the red carpet, “I’ve been so scared to touch anything because its powdered black diamonds… worth $250,000,” adding, “I have not touched a thing all day.”

Me: "Hello. Is that the Samaritans?"
Samaritans: "YO! Waaaaaaasssup??!"
Me: "I just...hang on. That's a bit informal isn't it?
Samaritans: "Sorry, I am not actually the Samaritans, just a figment of your imagination.
Me: "Oh. Right. Ok....Anyway. I can't take it anymore. People keep using the word 'wendyball' as they think it makes them super awesome.
Samaritans: "Shiiiiit dawg! that ain't cool. My advice would be just to ignore it. Word!
Me: "...I...I...try, but it just...well...it just really really gets on my tits. If you don't like something, then fair enough, but why bring that hate...erm dawg!"
Samaritans:"lolz"
Me: "Hey! That's not very supportive of you!"
Samaritans: "Sorry. Where were we?"
Me: "Erm...not sure"
Samaritans: "Hmmm. Me neither....erm...so, you going to watch the football at the weekend?"
Me: "F' YEAH!"

Posting the word '[b]DARKSIDE[/b]' whenever I see someone use 'Wendyball' makes me feel better.
Try it, it might just help. 😀
I must say in my short average life i (until seeing it on here) had never heard football described as wendyball, ever, is it some kind of STW specific insult or is it the preserve of those kids that NEVER played it as a kid...?

The new franchise for the West Coast mainline. Oh that is now back with the current franchisee. Will cost much more than £40m and take possibly 3 years to re franchise. What a bargain!
