wordsfromlee Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 I’m more surprised that some of you even use toilet paper. I thought you’d have just smeared it around with your bare hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deathrey Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 I'm 100% with @Devon Malcolm on this one, just finish the bloody roll and start a new one. If my kids and husband did this it would drive me insane. I would walk around the house easily a seething mass of Deathrey and may have to find an actual death ray. We are also a multiple toilet roll house but that's because my toddlers always have a runny nose and it's cheaper than Kleenex and softer than kitchen roll so we have one in the living room (and a little desktop bin) and one on the dining table.

Over the past few years I've amassed about 500+ of them and the idea was to at some point start an Instragram page where I'd post one daily. Anyway, my laptop finally gave up the ghost a few weeks back and I've finally got a new one. Found out today that the cloud system I had for creating back-ups for some reason completely skipped this one folder with my screenshots in, so I've lost them all. Absolutely gutted. Have you still got the old laptop? Hopefully some computer whizz somewhere could get them back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's my own fault for not checking the back-ups were working correctly, but still annoying. I started from scratch again last night. Love Lies Bleeding was the first inductee.

Paid Members BomberPat Posted July 23 Paid Members Share Posted July 23 I'm sorry @Slapnut, your phobia sounds absolutely horrible and I hope you can find a way to manage it, but I am creased at "notorious pigeon hotspot". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slapnut Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 See this is what I mean, to everybody else that probably sounds like a funny sentence but I didn’t even think twice when I typed it out. This is how my brain approaches day to day life! I know all their little fucking hangouts and one day I’m taking over those territories San Andreas style.

Paid Members air_raid Posted July 26 Paid Members Share Posted July 26 People, usually chefs or magazine writers, who use “store cupboard” or worse, “storecupboard” for where ingredients are kept. ALL cupboards are “store cupboards.” You store stuff in the cupboard. That’s what a cupboard is. The continued dumbing down of English with redundant prefixes to perfectly cromulent words will probably lead to us declaring “Just nipping to the pisstoilet.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members gmoney Posted July 26 Paid Members Share Posted July 26 (edited) Both of those are fine. Eyeglasses as apposed to ones you drink from. I guess my minor annoyance is people thinking the English language makes any sense and that it's only modern adaptations that make it silly or superfluous. It's chock full of contradictions and pointlessness already. Edited July 26 by gmoney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Working at a football kit supplier, this is one of my pet peeves. "We can't get a black kit because we'll clash with the ref." No you won't, you'll match with the ref!
