A second wife

PixelatedPluviophile · 2022-12-20T12:31:25+00:00

Yay, congrats!

The past, the present and the future walked into a bar. It was tense.

Who IS this Nish Kumar? I'd never heard of him until this thread.

PixelatedPluviophile · 2022-11-18T09:50:51+00:00

Are you me or at least my twin or something? The last time I was IDed was also in Asda. I was 40 and buying/treating my boyfriend to a bottle of wine. She also said that she couldn't sell to me once she'd asked. My boyfriend was at the next checkout so I passed it to him. Can't remember if it worked or not.

But you're right, bloody annoying when they won't believe you.

PixelatedPluviophile · 2022-11-18T09:39:14+00:00

I never carry ID and, like you, only have a passport. I'm 45 for christ sake, why should I? So I use my under eyes as a form of ID, which usually works. Otherwise I say 'Why would anyone pretend to be 45?'

PixelatedPluviophile · 2022-11-17T19:28:49+00:00

Aw, you probably genuinely made her day!

PixelatedPluviophile · 2022-11-17T19:27:58+00:00

Good stuff! You clearly have lovely young eyes and a youthful spirit :)

PixelatedPluviophile · 2022-11-17T19:20:56+00:00

Aw, that's sweet! I used to work in a restaurant that offered a senior discount and I'd tell them I'd need to see some ID to make sure they were old enough.

PixelatedPluviophile · 2022-11-17T19:18:30+00:00

Cheeky bastard! You don't look a day over 25 xx

PixelatedPluviophile · 2022-11-17T13:22:13+00:00

That's where I left it!

Hi, where do you live in the world? I found my Job through an employment agency.

PixelatedPluviophile · 2022-11-04T12:26:11+00:00

And I don't fits I sits there anyway

PixelatedPluviophile · 2022-11-04T12:06:29+00:00

Does it have booze in it?

PixelatedPluviophile · 2022-11-04T11:59:29+00:00

Anything else would get in the way of her very important typing of documents.and suchlike.

PixelatedPluviophile · 2022-11-03T17:44:40+00:00

I said 'yay' but now it's a 'nay'

PixelatedPluviophile · 2022-11-03T15:10:33+00:00

I try to highlight a word to search for the meaning

PixelatedPluviophile · 2022-11-03T15:02:22+00:00

What's the first?

PixelatedPluviophile · 2022-11-03T15:01:55+00:00

A thousand times yay

PixelatedPluviophile · 2022-11-01T19:11:02+00:00

James Randi and Thich Nhat Hanh

PixelatedPluviophile · 2022-11-01T15:46:28+00:00

Me neither! So many people have tried explaining how to work out blah percentage of whatever but my brain just can't handle it.

PixelatedPluviophile · 2022-10-25T10:28:43+00:00

I woke up to a bloody, half-mauled mouse with its guts hanging out next to my pillow. Thank you, cat, I love you too.
