    Have you seen Boots in December? They do fantastic offers on electric razors. Mr P hates shaving but doesn't like beards so every few years when he needs a new electric shaver I get them there. No expensive disposable razor blades needed:D

    When I see those I always think 'Princess' is a future 'Daddy's little psycho':)

    Yes.

    It's why I one of these.

    2 months minimum per blade.


    One less trivial thing to worry about.

    That just means if the car enters a tunnel you better stay back as it’s liable to start bouncing off the walls.

    People saying "ooh , I've got my 'meeegraine '" , it's pronounced 'mygraine ' as you well know , I do feel sorry for you but hyping it up by pronouncing it incorrectly is only going to annoy me......

    And give me a meegraine.

    Actually I suppose it wouldn't be very practical, you'd need to buy a set of clear ones and a set of darkened ones and then swap them out every time you went in or out of doors.


    Unless you could get them like those glasses that change depending on the light...we might be onto something here guys! :P

    A trivial thing that annoys me is the sheer laziness of tv/film writing lately. A character almost always falls into a very rigid stereotype so if it's a good looking girl, she will only ever be a girl-next-door type or a slutty bimbo. If a guy likes sci-fi he has to be an exaggerated nerd and completely oblivious of social norms. (seriously, fat gut from die-hard 4.0, why should you expect a random stranger to know who Boba Fett is?) I had the grave misfortune to watch an episode of Hollyoaks with my sister yesterday. every single person on the show was a walking caricature that had a personality that could be defined by a single sentence.

    Is this a recent thing or has writing always been this lazy?

    I haven't seen Hollyoaks for at least 15 years but I think that all the characters were always like that:D

    Canadians. :)

    Nope. That was canola oil which is the same thing.

    I remember once in a textbook at school the weird formatting resulted in it being written the wrong way.

    Never forget the heavy heavy silence when some poor daydreaming b1nt reading aloud said, "oilseed rape"... I cringed inside for her - you know that central, shame place that makes you feel weird in your tummy? :(

    Incorrect dishwasher stacking.

    Weather like this where you shower and change then feel yourself sweating again straight away, totally worth it though.

    Bitey insects:mad: I was bitten 7 times just on the side of my armpit by some fecking thing. I've a cluster of bites that I keep putting After Bite soother on. I was talking to the plumber in the garden yesterday and something else started stinging/biting me, it looked like a fly but wasn't a fly. I ended up putting insect repellant on. The bastards love my blood.

    Now that you mention it I just realised that we haven't had any around for a while. There's usually 3 on a daily basis, 7 days a week. I know a few of the local factories call them and get ice cream for all their staff sometimes when it's very hot, maybe that's where they've gone. Or else the Prison Service has recruited them all to deliver to the prisons:D

    Ah my Ice Cream man knows the score. Roger Ramjet is his tune. He supplies me with frozen treats and a nostalgic tune.

    God bless those men!...

    One of my work colleagues uses the canteen for meetings and to take personal phone calls. The look of indignation on her face when you go in to make a cuppa or even eat your lunch, would turn milk sour. We have 3 other meeting rooms, so there's really no reason why she would have to use the canteen. It drives me mad, you can't even eat your lunch in peace. :mad:

    This part is what gets to me. She must think that she should be the only one allowed to use the canteen, and be allowed to do business in it? It's a canteen, it's where people usually eat lunch. If she has problem with that then tell her to stuff it and go to one of the meeting rooms. Not very considerate of her tbh. Do other people have a problem with her?

    In that situation, I'd make sure to be extra noisy, drop cutlery etc. ;)
