And woe betide anyone who misbehaved when it comes to queueing (for the booze)

LynnGrace we could have an eye roll and tutting competition.

Reminds me of one yesterday in Tesco. I put my basket down at the self-service checkout when I realised I'd forgotten to get a bag. There was a queue of people waiting, and an elderly lady sprinted, yes, sprinted out behind my back and made a bee-line for what she thought was an empty checkout, then plonked her stuff down on the scales where the groceries are supposed to go!

Even I couldn't figure out how she intended to use the checkout, but I said I'd be polite about it and just mention that I was there before her, "Ahh would ya not let me go first?". Taking everything into consideration, I simply replied "no", rather than get into anything with her!

The raaaage expression on her face was worth it though

Excellent!

I was queueing one day, and a guy using one checkout had the one beside him also blocked with a pram parked across it.
The guy ahead of me waited but when it came to my turn, I went to the blocked check out and used it. Yer man was not amused*.

*(Please note no prams or babies were damaged by my using the checkout).

I have a friend, dry as an Indian summer, doesn't work but does all these Avon/park hamper things for extra money. She's having an ann summers party on the 13th. I used to love those parties in college, some laugh. She had one two years ago, as I mentioned, she's very dry. I arrived, drunk of course, and omg .. It was dead. Her mother, her two sisters and two friends of hers. All dry. I ended up winning "slapper of the night" and I'm not even that outrageous. You'd have better craic at a wake. Anyway, now she's hounding me about this ann summers party, that it's going to be wild. Hardly. And I'm not going again to win another slapper competition. Why would you hold these parties when clearly you're not into it?

Lexie tell her you're busy but thanks for the invitation. Tell her you're going on a booze cruise with the TTTAY gang
Am I the only one almost types Titty instead of TTTAY ?

On a similar note to this, that advert for a sex toy site really bugs me. I mean I don't care how kinky someone is, there's only a certain amount of things a couple can insert into each others orifices. The couple in the ad look like a fairly tame pair too and they make sex sound about as exciting as online shopping with Tesco.

Haha!
That's what I'm saying in my head each time I see or type TTTAY!
It's in a very refined and posh English accent for some reason...

There's an ad on tv for it, with a couple sitting on a sofa browsing through the catalogue. I can picture the horror on Mr Pumpkinseeds face if I suggested buying stuff to insert up his behind and it wouldn't be a happy face.:D

I need a new thread to complain about the TA thread been changed in to a shopping thread!

Nice undies though.

Pennies look like they've super pretty stuff in for valentines. I can't get a bra to fit me in pennies though. Also, you know those baby dolls that are sold as dress size rather than cup size? Serious grr. I bought a really pretty pink one, in a size up. Tried it on. Dude. You'd put grapes into it. You'd do yourself an injury

I got really nice lingerie there a while ago. Navy/black - the colour is amazing if you have pale skin Also gone up a cup size but now I am trivially annoyed that maybe I'm not actually that size and it might just be Penneys árseway sizing method

Sorry Trigger Happy

O Lexie get it!! its stunning, and its a classic, you could still wear that 20 years from now.

qo2cj1dsne8y4k

It's out of stock I'm devastated!

Navy looks so good against pale skin. I don't think the sizing is off in pennies, I can never get their underwear in my cup size so I don't even try anymore. You know peaches and cream on the street off grafton street? Love it! They have amaziiiiing stuff.

It TAs me how long I have to run the hot tap before it comes out hot. I'm going to have some water bill when the time comes
Another TA of mine is I would refer to eg this Fri 6th as "next Friday", as it's the next one to come along. When I say this why do people think I mean Fri 13th? If I meant that I would say "Friday of next week "

Fri 6th = this Friday. 13th = next Friday. But that just what I'm used to.

Yep, if someone says to me Friday next, or next Friday, I'd presume they were referring to the Friday after the Friday occurring in the current week...


Wait, Friday 13th? Then I'd just tell them to be quiet :pac:
