I wouldn't be a slave to fashion, and any port in a storm and all that. But just because the weather gets a little colder, no excuse to put a tea cosy on your head........in the last couple of days I have seen some of the most idiotic hats on people. Especially the attention seeking "zaney" types.....you are not hilarious, you just look like a moron.

Mr Pumpkinseeds and I have been together for 18 years, through thick and thin and we're very happy together. He is the most easy going laid back man you could meet but in all the time that we've been together one thing we still have minor arguments about is trapper hats. He really wants one and I think they look utterly ridiculous. As much as I'm sometimes tempted to give in and let him get one I feel like I have a spousal duty to prevent him looking like a twat.:D

I used to say the same but then I went to look it up and the dictionary says you can actually have two choices. Bit of a mental readjustment there
It's not new either

Unless it's in the Oxford dictionary it doesn't count.

Did you check the oxford dictionary

I have no problem with trapper style hats....they do the when it's very cold, It is grown adults wearing things that should be on a kid going to playschool, things with ears and faces on them.

And then you have the " Oh this, I bought it when we were skiing last year" crowd.

Trapper hats, and the proprietors thereof, can go and roger themselves with a barnacle-encrusted fish-fork. They make you look like a student or a homeless person.

this!

I usually wheel the trolley up to the top of the 4th aisle and abandon it there, and just walk the 5th up and down should anything be required.
Such gross misplanning... shocking for a German store!!

I really wanted to go out for my anniversary and was looking forward to it for weeks but my OH sprained his ankle and didn't want to go out. He suggested we get takeaway and I could have whatever I wanted and we could watch something together instead. He was being very sweet and I was starting to cheer up especially after the food arrived when our room mate got home early and wanted to watch something, so we awkwardly ate while he watched his show then he went to bed and it was too late to watch a movie and our romantic night out, turned in became awkward. I feel so bad because my OH tried to make it up to me but it didn't work out and now my mum and friends are going to ask what we did for our anniversary and are going to make fun of me about it again

Got a phone call asking to speak to someone in the workshop.( I work for a plant machinery dealer ) about X brand of digger. We haven't sold them for 6 years.
Refused to believe me that no staff member that knew anything about that brand, I gave the name and number of the company that now looks after that brand, he proceeds to tell me that the to other company is not the agent anymore. I checked on their website last week and yes they are.

In other words I'm lying through my teeth and stopping him speaking to a fitter.


Trivially Annoying.

If you sit there with a straight face and try to tell me again that you can't sell me a crankshaft and journal bearing kit for an Allis-Chalmers Model D15, I'll put you across my knee, missy!

When people say you have two choices - NO! You have one choice of two options.

'Choice', as a noun, can be a synonym for 'option'. "You have two options" is perfectly valid, ergo "You have two choices" is also valid.

You could say that after you have chosen between your two options you have made one choice though.

I once had a guy call me looking for his pension from a company that had absolultely nothing to do with ours, we just happened to share one word in the name. I spent a good half an hour on the phone to him trying to explain that we were a completely separate legal entity - no joy. He genuinely seemed to think I could just get our finance department to write a cheque for him. I was googling the company while I was on the phone to him and they ceased trading in 1987. This phone call took place in 2011.

Dial Hard I feel better now ;D

Snobby shop assistants, I went into brown Thomas after work. I needed new makeup, wanted to try the nars sheer glow one, a highlighter and a lipgloss, just for work. I had a facial earlier in work, hadn't any makeup on me and just a little bit of Bb cream.

I was standing waiting for ages before they interrupted their conversation to ask me if i needed help. She didn't bother try match my skin tone to the foundation, but I insisted and she half heartily applied a streak on my cheek (that I had bb cream on) with a cotton bud. It was way too dark, she didn't seem to be too enthusiastic to keep helping me so I just went back to Mac and got my usual makeup. At least they're pleasent there.

I went up to look at the shoes in the CL lounge. Two irritating fools in front of me, one was trying on a pair, I think they were the bianca shoe, but was complaining that the toe of the shoe didn't fit her foot, um get a larger size? She was sitting inside like a simpleton with a hat on. The girl was there on her own so I was waiting about 40 minutes before it was my turn and neither of them actually bought anything.

And then when I went to get something to eat there was a kid racing around the restaurant, next thing there was a Big Bang and the child started roaring because he fell. The father seemed to be such an obnoxious piece of ****, acting like it was a shock kids fall when running riot. I have a wonderful bitch face so I hope he appreciated my efforts of making it look super disgruntled. Why can't parents keep their kid sitting down, it's not like we're asking the impossible

I've had the same problem with the flu jab. I'm supposed to be getting the pneumonia vaccine too but keep putting it off.

One of our cats had an anaesthetic at the vets today and he's all dopey now. He's half asleep on the sofa and I've got the heat on. The trivial annoyance is that my feet are cold and I know that if I get up and leave the room to get warmer sockes he'll follow me and get all disorientated, so I'm sitting here with cold feet. But he's safe and happy so that's OK.:)

1) A cold is not the Flu, the 2 things are unrelated completely
2) put cat on your feet for warm feet
3) Lexies complaints about shopping for female things are now practically daily occurrence, i'm trivially annoyed by your disposable income :pac:

Leave me alone, I am not well. I assumed (incorrectly it seems) that the anti flu jab would stop me getting a cold.
