Unrelated to the IT issue but similar to "crying out" is "they are calling on". My mother thinks that this will result in actual change. "Oh well you know, they are calling on the government to do xy and z" - so?? They're not going to listen anyway. Also, who are "they"?

"I am looking for something like this but in green"
" I have it in blue or red, not in green though"
"No green?
"No"
"I really wanted it in green.."
"sorry"
"What colours do you have?"
"Blue and red"
"Mmm, will you be getting it in" (to myself, with a bit of luck, over the weekend maybe)
"No"
"What about light green?"

O.k So, Presuming you have a bit of time on your hands or a savvy workmate, At that stage it's time for you to 'do a Monty Python' and say
"Hang on a sec, I might just have one in green 'out the back'." Come back with a blue one and say, "Ah you're in luck, I have the last green one available!"
"That's not green it's blue"
"....Eh... NO It's not blue it's green. It's a completely different colour to that blue one! Look (workmate) Is that green or blue?"
"It's green obviously:rolleyes:" ...and on and on

Shops that put 10% off vouchers in their shopping baskets. When you pick up the basket and see this brightly coloured publication at the bottom of the basket you think, woooo what's this and reach in and open it, start reading and think, awh not more crap. As if that wasn't bad enough, you have to carry it around the store with you now until you come to the check out as there is no rubbish bin to throw it into.

We got an email that said "COB". A friend googled and found it can mean cum on body or closing of building.

Drivers who overtake you that make you overtake them half a mile down the road even though you're going at the same spend or slower than when you were overtaken. A few months back I overtook the same car 4 times over about 20kms and I swear to jaysus I kept the car at between 125 and 130kph the whole time.

I seem to be comparing or relating post scenarios with songs for some reason?
Earlier it was Petula Clarke 'Within and Hopin' and then 'My perfect cousin' The undertones.
Never mind 'Boom diddy boom!'

Trousers/jeans shopping. Can someone go and shop for me please, it's an ordeal... I am so tired of current skinny trend, guess I'll be wearing skirts and dresses forever.
Well the two new additions to my skirt collection are lovely

czechlin · 13-03-2014 08:05PM

Fitting rooms. The lighting and the mirrors are just not right!

I've been putting off clothes shopping for ages, I hate it. I see photos of jeans I like online and yet whatever places I shop in only seem to sell womens jeans that are hipster cut. I hate that. I'm a 41 year old woman, I don't want to show the back of my knickers to the world and unless you are very thin they don't do you any favours, I'm not very thin so they are very unforgiving:(

I'm not crazy about clothes shopping either, I prefer to get the thing when I see it, especially if I'm in the mood. I absolutely hate shopping for something I need. The current fashion is weird, the shops are loaded but I only end up liking very few things. Trousers and jeans are an utter disaster. I'm size 8/10 but don't find them flattering either :mad:

Same as the saying "cold enough to freeze the ball off a brass monkey" should be "OUT of a brass monkey"

Nope. A brass monkey was a frame made from brass used to hold cannonballs on old time warships. Like this(on phone so sorry about the link): https://www.google.ie/search?hl=en&site=webhp&tbm=isch&source=hp&ei=1gUiU66uDYPKhAfA3oEQ&q=brass+monkey&oq=brass+mon&gs_l=mobile-gws-hp.1.0.0l5.2079.5228.0.6389.10.10.0.6.6.0.245.1507.0j8j2.10.0....0...1c.1.37.mobile-gws-hp..1.9.435.myyZDGCp0l4#biv=i|11;d|UWwkDP6iF7SddM: Brass contracts when cold, so in very cold conditions the frame would contract enough the the cannonballs would pop off of the frame.

Useless information is my forté

And it's been like this for years now. I see stuff on Debehams site and when I go in they don't have it. Then there's the fact that no 2 shops seem to have the same fit for the size a pair of jeans or trousers says it has, that really depresses me when I have to go up a size in a shop. My short legs don't help either,so I usually have to get the legs taken up.

OH MY GOD THIS!
I'm a jeans, t-shirt and hoodie girl most days and I usually prefer the comfort of bootcut jeans which are currently nigh on IMPOSSIBLE to find.
New Look used to do great bootcut jeans but now all I can get are jeggings- which make my legs look chunky. Sigh.
Skinny jeans look ridiculous on me, not to mention uncomfortably tight in the thigh region no matter what size I go for.
**** this skinny jean trend. **** it up its' stupid ass. :mad:

Ever find a shop that has Your jeans, The ones that suit and fit you perfectly, The ones you're sorry you didn't buy two pairs of but promise yourself you will do next time. And then it closes down?

Horror films, or more specifically, the women in horror films. I only half watch them, my husband loves them, but when I see some silly cow running to hide in an upstairs wardrobe or some such to hide from whatever serial killer/monster is on the rampage, I just want to slap some sense into her. For goodness sake, you wouldn't hide in a wardrobe or run yourself into a corner, you'd grab a knife or whatever weapon you could and fight back.

Currently the Hills have eyes 2 is on, utter crap, funny how there's always some dynamite lying around handily in these films.

I could've sworn you were talking about the film I'm watching on TV3 at the moment, "The Stepfather", the stepson's girlfriend spends most of her time running around the house in a bikini. I never thought I'd say this but, it's time she was killed off already! :eek:
