    Thread is getting picky between its bork fly larvae and borkworm.

    That's reminded me of another TA - no sign of the cheese ones in Lidl this year.

    A TA that I keep complaining about and it still makes me cross every time. Me unloading groceries onto belt in Aldi. Someone comes along behind me and puts their groceries down halfway down the belt. I continue unloading and then run out of space. This witless one that had put down her stuff was completely absorbed in her phone and hadn't a clue what was going on around her. Meanwhile others had come behind her so she could not have moved them if she wanted to, which she didn't. I ended up stacking things and handing the checkout guy a bag of spuds that there was just no room for.

    A woman got on the bus this morning, waving 'phone at driver: "There's no charge on my 'phone" she states - so obviously unable to pay using the FirstBus app - and walks straight onboard and takes a seat. Sorry, but you should have made sure your phone was charged or brought cash or credit/debit card. Next time I use the bus I'll just walk onboard stating "Sorry, there's no cash in my wallet". When I do the weekly shop at Waitrose this Saturday I'll just wheel the trolley past the self-scan check- stating "Sorry there's no credit left in my bank account".

    The "Listening Age" Spotify Wrapped has assigned me. I feel a bit personally attacked, I'm not gonna lie…

    I'd have plonked my spuds on top of her shopping and thrown eye daggers at her. You're very patient, looksee.

    Yes, like when something awful happens. "How did it make you feel?" 🤬

    The question for spotting the Autistic. They (I) hate answering that question!

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    Question: "Your house has collapsed with all your family in it. How did it make you feel?"

    Correct response: "Has your face been introduced to my camogie stick, yet?"

    I've been looking for my slippers since 6 o'clock. I usually walk barefoot around the house, but my toes were cold. I just opened the door to let my line manager (the cat) in. The slippers were outside, beside the wellies I wore earlier. And no, they're not dry.
