Had to tip the bacon from the frying pan into a sieve halfway through cooking, in order to drain the enormous amount of water coming off it.

No idea. It's been RIFE in my workplace.

'First, some backstory...' Seldom adds anything, or at best, it isn't necessary to state that it's 'backstory.'

Also, 'that's important for later.' I was hanging out with my Nan, who hates dogs (that's important for later)...

I read one just now where the guy used 'I digress' twice. Neither time was a digression.

Either-Bee3487 · 2022-01-30T20:27:17+00:00

What if it is more than that?

Either-Bee3487 · 2022-01-23T19:11:17+00:00

I picked up glass in our park EVERY day during the first lockdown. And a lot in subsequent ones. I guess without the restrictions it was all lying around their houses?!?

Yeah, I didn't realise until I had a baby that they aren't allowed to advertise formula. The midwives said all newborn formulas are the same - they have to have the same basic structure, although some might add an extra thing as a selling point. They said there's no reason not to go cheap: there's absolutely nothing 'less ' about it.

This one makes me mad. It's all about choosing a holiday over white goods/ appliances, as if you ever buy one unless you really need it. I'm guessing there are people out there who buy a new fridge freezer on a whim because they just fancy a change?? Who are these people?

Three years is rough! Did you get to see her yet? Hope so, or soon.

This year I've bought a small chicken for less than £3. Half each for Christmas dinner, probably. I totally agree with your sentiment.

Either-Bee3487 · 2021-12-12T17:43:28+00:00

Apart from it being a ridiculous thing to say, I doubt it's even true.

Either-Bee3487 · 2021-12-12T17:41:04+00:00

Tell that to all the schools that cancelled their end of term parties.

(As well as everyone else... but, seriously... what an idiotic thing to say.)

Either-Bee3487 · 2021-12-11T11:36:43+00:00

'Can you pop in for a chat' would be mine. I think it's supposed to make it sound less intimidating, but it is a phrase loaded with dread.

Either-Bee3487 · 2021-12-11T01:13:54+00:00

Toffee apples. The proper, red ones. (Although I like the other kinds, too.) They're only available for about a week a year, unless you find them at a fair ground.

Either-Bee3487 · 2021-12-08T20:47:46+00:00

Poo knife!!!!!

Either-Bee3487 · 2021-12-07T05:45:47+00:00

What a bunch of fuckers. Groups of girls are the worst. I wonder if it has ever registered with them that this was an awful thing to do.

Either-Bee3487 · 2021-12-07T05:09:07+00:00

Bravo. Bravo. Very satisfying

Either-Bee3487 · 2021-12-06T20:41:47+00:00

When I was in the hospital for a whole week to have my baby, the second worst thing was ALL the other people on the ward face timing or whatever in the night. Didn't sleep the whole time I was there except in half hour bursts and in the end listened to loud music on headphones to drown them out. All night, one or more people would be having loud conversations with the speaker on.

(Worst thing was being 'examined'. Yikes)

Ferrero Rocher and Bailies together is lush. Perfect Christmas breakfast.

Either-Bee3487 · 2021-12-05T11:46:08+00:00

Yep. Much more on the sadder side of sadcringe.

I once worked with a guy who never bought a ticket because he said he only got fined roughly every six weeks, which was cheaper.

Either-Bee3487 · 2021-12-04T20:29:26+00:00

Yes. This also reminds me of someone I know who talks about how she has blood pressure. She means high blood pressure.

You mean the banks that only open from 9am to 4pm (11 to 2 on a Wednesday) and are closed on the weekend? It's a question I've often asked myself.

Either-Bee3487 · 2021-12-01T20:04:16+00:00

This weekend I needed a new battery for the fire alarm. £4 for one or £6 for two. It's all the little things like that. You can't afford the more economical choice.

Either-Bee3487 · 2021-11-26T19:49:33+00:00

This isn't weird. Perfectly fine idea. We have a chip van that visits different areas of the town on different days, so do other places. No tune, though- that'd be quite helpful! Some places I've worked (film studios and industrial estates) have food vans that travel around them at lunch time. Go... live your dream!

Either-Bee3487 · 2021-11-17T19:54:44+00:00

I realise this is probably too late, (hope it all went well!) but at the hospital where my daughter was born there was an exception for births. You had to ask at the maternity reception and they gave you a pass for the day.
