wordsfromlee Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 I don't know how I managed to get this far in life without putting two and two together, but today I realised what the band name Pearl Jam is referring to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has gutted me. @SuperBaconthe best chippy in my neck of the woods got some local Facebook grief  he has a sign saying “Our kebabs are non halal” so ponce central took the hump claiming he was racist. Some people pointed out that a halal kebab is the default, you assume all kebabs are halal so he was making it clear in case someone thought their kebab was ok for them  Of course, there were absolute wronguns trying to make out the most offensive part of it all was kebabs shouldn’t be in a chippy to begin with  Thankfully I was able to alert the authorities and hard drive checks were carried out   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't know that had changed. You corrected that and I made a light hearted omission of my error. I wasn't expecting a fucking audit on the history of the highstreet bakery businesses of Britain about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members air_raid Posted November 14, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted November 14, 2021 I’m really confused. When a couple of Sayers I pass on my travels became Pound Bakery I assumed it had been taken over. Boy did I hit the head on the nail.
