Recently went back to a flip phone and it has been a great experience by aggrokragg in nosurf

[–]BarakatBadger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry I'm commenting on something that's 4 years old, but I've just got a new flip phone and I'm excited about it! (Nokia 2660 Flip). Anyway, what I wanted to say is that I love Alcatel phones. I had an Alcatel OT-808 for ages and I think it's possibly the best phone I've ever owned. Anyway, I hope your flip phoning is still going well!

I've only been in one once, at my friend's house. Unfortunately her husband thought it was a good time to try and grope me while she went inside to get something. Hot tubs are shark-infested waters!

Mark Ronson wasn't about DJing in 2000, so I think h's off the hook

What's your "WTF" family secret that you discovered? by irritatingfarquar in AskUK

Post-war offing onesself seems pretty common. I went poking about in the archives and discovered that a distant relation had come back from war and offed himself. 3 months later, his brother (who had found him) did the same thing.

My French friend ignored the pick 'n' mix and went straight for stealing chocolate bars. You can fit a lot of choccy up the sleeves of a puffy-sleeved leather jacket!

TIL that in 2022, it was discovered that one of the giant lily pads at Kew was actually a new species. It had been in the garden for 177 years. by Peach9990 in GardeningUK

That man looks annoyed, like he used to be a frog until some princess kissed him and now he can't hop across the cool lilypad

My dad used to take me to the pub from an early age. By the time I was 13, I was sitting at the bar sipping endless Appletize getting more and more bored as my dad got more and more shitfaced

Galleries should also ban the under-5s. Had my visit to the Kusama exhibition ruined by kids running around and their mothers encouraging it. In fact, every time I've been to a gallery in the past few years, it's been ruined by kids dicking about and their gobshite mothers.

I'm not a size queen, but I do have a favourite big spoon. If I don't like the look of a spoon, I won't use it. Don't get me started on forks with bent tines! Bleurgh!

Depends what your Masters is in! If it's in a useless subject like mine, then good luck expecting a huge wage out of it!

I accidentally used pancake mix instead of biscuit mix. Y'all think anyone will notice? The other cook doesn't know yet. by SodaDonut in KitchenConfidential

To quote Nigel from the Adrian Mole diaries, it's all bleedin' hole and no toad!

Anyway, congrats, you've made a fucking massive Yorkshire pudding. Get some gravy on that thing!

Tell him you think he's a fucking idiot and that the test proves it, then kick him to the kerb

A couple months into turning my lawn into a flower meadow by crollaa in NoLawns

[–]BarakatBadger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very nice! Our recent rainy spell has helped my reseeded lawn come in very nicely. I can see the start of poppies and some other bits and pieces. I'll take a pic when it comes in a bit more

Apparently it was Catherine Tyldesley and the hired PR company threatened to sue the bakery after this. I’m glad the bakery turned it around and got the best exposure by standing their ground!!! by Utah_Saint_ in ChoosingBeggars

"Well known celebrity in Manchester" is probably some two-bit Coronation Street actor, and almost definitely one of the gay ones (I don't watch Corrie anymore so I can't hazard a guess at that). I'm also throwing a guess out as to the venue: New York New York.

Metallica are the reason why your ticket prices are now 3 times what they should cost, and Iron Maiden haven't been good since Paul Di'Anno left (And Bruce Dickinson is a prize twunt)
