    This is something way more trivial, it's baking-related. When you're reading recipes or watching videos on the web, they seldom tell you what size of a baking tin they're using. This makes a huge difference in how the bread/cake turns out. Would it kill them to give you the measurements?!?

    Basically the world is run by psychopaths who value their bottom line over human life.


    Innit nice when McDs, the coffee companies etc put nice xmas designs on their packaging?
    It makes all the litter so much easier on the eye :mad:

    Why should they care? They're hardly going to be around to pay the consequences of their actions. :/ :mad:

    Not been able to read a Snapchat message without actually opening the message. With some apps I like been able to slide down the notification bar, read the message without opening it and then pretending I didn't see it until the message isn't relevant anymore

    The way the big media companies fill us full of unimportant crapola and when something that will really effect us happens they stay silent.
    For eg. they are going to (they might have done it already in fact) dump over a million tonnes of dangerous contaminated water from Fukushima into the ocean. Why? because it is the cheapest option available to them :mad:

    Not a fecking peep about it from any of the big papers or tv news and websites.

    The Guardian and other newspapers have reported repeatedly on the topic.

    Con job, lying, buck passing trades men. You fitted it in the first place. You are the reason it's not been done properly. I'm in no mood, so good luck with me tomorrow. I almost feel sorrow for you, dealing with me in the frame of mind I'm in currently. Almost...

    According to the pizza box it serves four people, so I'm eating for four people. I buy "share" bags of sweets because there is a miserable amount in normal bags

    Ah this! Boots feckin did that to me during lockdown, kept sending emails telling me to buy their stuff, and when I went onto their webpage, literally everything was sold out. At one stage there was a queue to even get onto the site (where they had nothing).

    A related TA is the absolute selfishness of other women who were also pregnant at the time panic buying bulk amounts of maternity supplies, formula etc. from boots. There wasn't a thing to be got, even maternity pads. They had to limit the number of boxes of formula per customer. I just couldn't bulk buy stuff like that thinking about leaving someone else short.

    Was in Lidl getting formula and we usually have two boxes - one on the go and a spare so we don't have to run out late at night. So, doing the shopping we'd get two. This particular time there were two boxes left, and I couldn't bring myself to take the second last and the last one so came home with one! :D

    People who use the word cheeky but don't use it to describe someone's behaviour.

    'I'm going to have a cheeky take away'

    'Cheeky trip to Nandos'

    'Let's go for a cheeky pint'

    **** off.

    There's something very British about it.

    I've heard sly used a bit here.
    You would sneak out for a sly fag at work.

    TA when you are good and watch what you eat all week only to blow it by eating a tonne of rubbish at the weekend.

    Neighbours still being unbelievably selfish, talking away loudly at 12.15am about absolute sh1te. Can't wait to give them another nice wake-up tomorrow morning at 6am when I go out for my run. I hate people so much.

    Following on from 'cheeky' , 'sly' , and 'sneaky' ; my TA is when some bird (it's always a bird :p - but the way things are going that's subject to change :confused:) comes out with I've been a good girl, cos she's managed to eat less than what she normally does; or summit healthy... or a combo of both..

    At a loss as to how eating little, or healthy makes a person think that they've been good :pac: And they usually sound perky and chipper when they trod that line out; which ups the TA factor a few notches more than what it would've been were it uttered matter-of-factedly :D

    Bought a new alarm clock with a wake up light function. The wake up light is working grand but for some reason when the clock radio comes on it keeps getting louder and louder. Who uses a clock radio and turns it off as soon as it comes on? Can't figure out how to stop it doing that. I'll usually lie there for a few minutes and listen to the news before I get up. Can't do that with this one as it becomes so loud after about 30 seconds it's unbearable.

    So I'm either returning it, or I'm just gonna go back to my old clock radio and put the new one on my husband's side on mute so we get the light but no deafening alarm. He's the one who wants the damn light anyway.

    Reports of people queuing for Penney's from 4am this morning. They are open for the next THREE WEEKS!

    Do people think all the pjs (sorry, jammies) are going to sell out? Really, one of the biggest fast fashion retailers is so clueless about operations and stock control that there won't be any pjs left in the country? They will just sell them all in one day.
