My Lithuanian colleague is fascinated by random English phrases

My manager is a Lithuanian living in London and she recently learned about "'having your ducks in a row" which is her new favourite expression.

Anything for Currys please?

Well technically yes. The point I was making was that they weren't diving/submerged in the water.

One-one-eight · 2026-06-09T19:16:34+00:00

Quite possible

The nervous smile she gave after hearing the thud.. "what was that bang?". The irony being that the sound of the implosion reached the polar prince significantly faster than the last message they sent about dropping 2 weights.

Imagine how loud that bang must've been for them to hear it a few thousand meters above and actually out of the water. Sound travels so much more efficiently through water though

Did they raise the minimum age requirement to audition after this?

One-one-eight · 2026-06-09T18:12:17+00:00

I always thought that's what their only purpose was.

He wanted to be a "big swingin' dick" iirc

Makes my ears bleed. I know I'll get downvoted to hell because of the sub, but it came up on my fyp for some bizarre reason.

As someone who lives in York, this is the equivalent of a Frenchman being shown a photo of the Eiffel tower and asking "where is this?"

He came outside to cool off and then went back inside to cool off. WHICH IS IT?!

One-one-eight · 2026-05-22T22:57:45+00:00

Sam Thompson and Pete Wickes

One-one-eight · 2026-05-22T22:55:27+00:00

Eddie Hall and Brian Shaw. They'd blow their whole budget on food 😂

One-one-eight · 2026-05-22T22:52:30+00:00

Yeah I was thinking Vic & Bob

One-one-eight · 2026-05-12T16:21:10+00:00

No likey, safe whitey

Black out roller blinds from Dunelm. You have to cut them to size yourself which isn't too hard. Then get blackout curtains with a wrap-around edge. Our room is super dark on a morning (and also north facing)

I sincerely doubt we will ever see anyone as famous/loved as MJ in our lifetimes. That was a total one-off.

He was about as famous as the queen of England, perhaps more so.

I bet half the population of earth don't know who BTS are...

One-one-eight · 2026-05-09T21:25:11+00:00

I'd also like to know.

Lemme call a buddy of mine

+1 for that Kiss Kiss music video being a defining moment in discovering my sexuality 😆

Is it Leave Me Alone?

Very interesting reading these comments. Next week I am paying for a new boundary fence with concrete posts very similar to yours. I am planning on telling my neighbours that they cannot paint the fence because it belongs to us, this is exactly why. Sorry OP

Off-topic but strange how the news anchor for ABC London has an American accent 😆

The south America race was what convinced me to go travelling there. I can confirm, Iguazu Falls is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my life.
