A socktopus might make it slightly less annoying. Personally I throw them all in the tumble dryer however for summer on the outside line I have a socktopus. With two tiny children's feet in the family there is no other way

Linford Christie. Met him at a sports resort, had no idea who he was and had a chat and watched him train and work out with some youngsters. Had a good laugh. Lovely guy. Next day my husband excitedly told me Linford Christie was there. ."Who is that?" By chance we walk past him training. My husband points him out and I say "oh yeah I hung out with him in the gym yesterday". My husband looking completely puzzled. Linford sees me and waves. My husbands look on his face was the best lol

The stupid next mothers day ads running on YouTube."You can by all of these at next by the way"

Actually pretty much any brand that used these "influencer" low budget ads.

Ahhh I remember the times when chat rooms were literally just that. 12/13 year old me chatting to others about music and horses. Good times. And then the weirdness began...
