    Had to chuckle at it.

    It was prob the lad who said it that prob 'laid' it ;)

    Was in work today and going to be good and have porridge for my breakfast. Then someone uses the last of the milk and doesn't get any more so I offer to go over to the shop where the company has an account. I go out in the pissing rain and get blown out of it. I get to the shop and they tell me that the account is overdue and needs to be paid so they can't give me the milk and I didn't bring my wallet with me. Had to have my porridge with water :(

    I wish to present you with a TA Gold Award :D

    On the yoghurt theme, I can't abide bits of fruit in yoghurt! Why can't they make petit filous for grown ups!?

    Not a big fan either! But thats whats so good about the rhubarb yoghurt, theres bits of it in it, but not cold hard lumps like other fruits. Its stringy and soft.

    I sound like a pushy yoghurt saleswoman!

    People who refer to their grandmother as 'nanna'

    Whenever I hear it I immediately assume the speaker either has some form of severe intelligence deficit or has yet to be toilet trained.

    How come?

    We have always called our grandmothers "nana." Actually, most people I know have always called theirs "nana" too. And neither we nor they have any intelligence deficits whatsoever :confused: What's your personal issue with the term?

    Nothing personal, it just sounds incredibly childish and grating to my ears.

    I get that. There are certain terms that irritate the f*** outta me and make me think less of the person who uses them, for like a split second, until I remind myself that it's me who has the problem not them. But I can relate.

    All farmed freshwater prawns today belong to the genus Macrobrachium.

    I see AIB are now "backing brave" again, instead of the grammatically ridiculous change they made to "backing doing". It's all absurd anyway

    reminds me of that ad over Christmas where the little girl wants her brother home for Crimbo, and then he arrives saying "I got your card off Santa" ..... its FROM Santa .... you cant get it off him unless he is wearing it!! I am not a grammer Nazi, I know people make mistakes and words / phrases change and interchange to mean different things, but a profesional ad agency for a very large company doesnt know (or care!) about the difference between off and from ....

    But your bog standard prawn from the supermarket would be from salt water?
    I may be wrong but always assumed this to be the case....

    While very similar in appearance, shrimp & prawns are two different species, with different gill structures, different habitats, & a difference in taste.

    Shrimp come from both fresh & salt water & can live in both cold and warm waters; if they came from cold waters, then they will be smaller in size.

    There are more saltwater than freshwater species of shrimp.

    Prawns come from fresh water & are much larger & meatier than shrimp, like a langoustine.

    Why are the car keys always in the wrong pocket? You pop into the shop, grab a few bits and while you have a few things to carry, you don't really need a bag. So there I was, running to the car in the píssing rain, reach for the car keys and of course they were in the other pocket. Forcing me to rearrange all the stuff I was carrying into the other hand, getting more soaked in the process. Amazing how the car keys suddenly decided to be in the other pocket, where I never put them.

    I too am a coffee lover, but...

    I have a really old cast iron teapot that belonged to my nan.

    I've been known to throw some loose leaf in it of a morning, top it off with water & leave it festering on the range, topping it up daily & letting it stew for a week before I even think of cleaning it out :eek:

    My OH hates it, but all the lads love my tae :D

    Awww! I don't mind your drinking habits; just don't expect me to drink what you drink! After all if you are in a cafe or pub..I do send Lyons tea bags to Irish family in Canada so not prejudiced! ;)

    Well there was the day I had been in the Cathedral at the Christmas Crib... got to the great doors AND NAKED FINGER! Panic! The ladies were in cleaning and took pity on the poor old dear.. I had in fact taken them off my finger at the Crib and they were sitting on the bench leering at me.. It is of course like any other system; NOTHING is perfect...Anyone else panic in the car and forget the key are in the d****** door!

    Neighbors dog has been pooing on the doorstep every morning for the past week, despite me cleaning it and scrubbing every bloody morning before I go to work.
    TWICE I have stood on it going out the door. When my morning stupor had not quite worn off enough to remember. Ugh.

    Mentioned it to the owner, but think he might have been laughing at me as I walked away.

    Wash the area, but do not use bleach.....it contains ammonia. Use hot water and a washing detergent or a dishwasher tablet. Failing that you can get stuff in pet shops to discourage dog fouling. Your neighbour is a bastard.
