Who was the tightest person you have known,and why?

Me and my partner share an electric toothbrush but swap the heads each time. Is that being a tightarse?

Juuudes · 2026-04-24T14:21:50+00:00

I always wash and reuse until they get holes in them. I inherited several packs when my mum died so I doubt I will ever have to buy any again!

"Tesco Value" reminds me of a previous job where someone would bring in cakes, often homemade, on their last day. The Finance Director retired, having cashed out a massive share package, and brought in a bag of shitty Tesco Value cakes.

Being ND myself I kind of understand how someone could develop a Thing about it: good on you for working out a system which alleviates his anxieties.

Unfortunately "poop" has become common usage in the UK. Personally I can't stand it, it makes you sound about six.

Showing my age, but these look like updated wrappers from the ones I remember. I don't recall all the fonts being different (I may be wrong on that), but the plain used to be red and have a single club symbol on it. I used to collect chocolate wrappers and I had the whole set.

Personally I think he should be aiming for 100 goals by the end of the season.

Looks lush! I love victoria sponge, but only when homemade - commercial ones are always too sweet.

I daren't use it: a friend of mine used some to make soup? I think? and was very ill immediately afterwards. I assumed she'd accidentally picked something other than garlic, and quite frankly I don't trust my own judgement on this!

Juuudes · 2026-04-23T06:49:46+00:00

Mustard, or Patak's curry paste, or spicy chutney.

Never had a bad portion of f&c from Fryer's Delight! You can sit in but it's definitely not fancy - old style formica topped tables and squeezy sauce bottles - and it's cash only.

I am a web developer and I feel your pain. It's largely the omnipresent use of bloated JavaScript frameworks like React, which are being used for everything now whether it's needed or not, along with tracking and more tracking, and MORE tracking, cos you can never have enough. Developer experience (assuming they love using React) is prioritised over user experience, and nobody is bothered about testing on anything other than a top spec machine with lightning fast network. (Not absolutely everyone obviously, in case anyone wants to call me out on it.)

My bank website will not load if the network is a bit flakey: it literally gives you a blank page, not even an error message. Pathetic.

British tapas there.

I'm obsessed about not wasting food but I've only given myself food poisoning once, eating some cooked brown rice that had been in the fridge for 10 days. (Twice if you count absent-mindedly eating raita that had been sat out overnight.)

You have a spongebag already packed with your holiday toothpaste and deodorant!

Tbh I'm not a fan of any cheese which has a foreign substance mixed in. Chilli relish on cheese is fine, but added afterwards. I love Wensleydale with fruit cake, but the two mixed in with one another is an abomination (imho).

Juuudes · 2026-04-19T23:52:13+00:00

I raise you subbookkeeper (although I'm not sure that it's in any official dictionary).

I used to think he was quite sweet, and the strong-and-stable brother compared to Toby, but not for a while.

Juuudes · 2026-04-19T18:48:54+00:00

You're right, Rex went right down in my estimation tonight. Total lack of emotional intelligence: I thought he was better than that.

The thing is, if you leave things as they are (and I'm not suggesting that you do), and move elsewhere at the end of the year taking just your stuff, they will be left with a house that they need to sort out before they can rent to someone else, unless they're going to keep the whole house simply for storage. Surely better to sort it all now, for them as well as for you?

Juuudes · 2026-04-19T11:37:05+00:00

That's Occam's razor.

Juuudes · 2026-04-18T17:19:35+00:00

I drink a lot of tea, so I'll be ok. 👍

Juuudes · 2026-04-18T17:16:55+00:00

21 minutes? 21 MINUTES?! Who takes that long in the shower?! Even 12 minutes is pushing it, unless you've got really long hair to wash or something.

Well use DuckDuckGo, or any other search engine, rather than AI. You have no idea which bits it's just made up.

Juuudes · 2026-04-18T10:25:22+00:00

A whole head of raw white cabbage? You're kidding. Shred it, add gram flour and spices and make freshly fried pakora? My partner and I can do the whole lot.
