Can't stand it. Very tame dialogue with a lack of calm dim lighting. Living rooms are lit up like a lighthouse.0 -

"Mary is having a baby soon, and touch wood, hope it all goes well"
WHAT?
"The origin of the custom may be in Celtic or Germanic folklore, wherein supernatural beings are thought to live in trees, and can be invoked for protection. One explanation states that the tradition derived from the pagans who thought that trees were the homes of fairies, spirits, dryads and many other mystical creatures.[1] In these instances, people might knock-on or touch wood to request good luck or to distract spirits with evil intentions. When in need of a favor or some good luck, one politely mentioned this wish to a tree and then touched the bark, representing the first "knock". The second "knock" was to say "thank you"
All makes perfect sense to me

H&M is better quality, at the same price point, and have been available to buy online the while time.
Yes H&M children's is fantastic, and more often than not they've stuff marked down and 3 for 2 at the same time
Penney's might be cheap too but there is definitely a whole "experience" element to it that people seem to crave. 0 -

Lumps of overcooked meat left under lights, soggy roast potatoes, vegetables boiled almost to a mush, and all drowning in gravy loaded with fat, sugar and salt to disguise the taste of the food it covers.
It's possible to get excellent food in some Irish pubs, so this fascination with the hellish carvery really baffles me.
Apparently they've also become really expensive the last couple of years. I haven't had carvery for a good decade I'd say, and I just assumed they were still around the tenner mark 0 -

A couple of OAPs that I knew ( dead now ) would go to their nearby carvery as a 'treat'.
Limited ability to travel, wouldn't be up to cooking much anymore, so it probably was a 'treat'.
What sort of people are to be found at these ? Are most of them OAPs ?
Thinking about it, the carvery that they went to closed about three years ago .... perhaps carvery is on the wane ?0
