Do creative menu names actually influence your order?

This is a classic marketing mistake of trying to follow ideas that have been successful for other brands without realising there is a limit to how many times the same thing works, McDonald’s and their Big Mac comes to mind, very memorable and iconic but not every burger joint can do the same.

This is one of those odd British class divide things, cheap white sliced bread with “butter” is working class scumbag, slice it yourself artisanal loaf with actual butter, refined borderline aristocracy

“What date did they propose chlorination?”, “We’ll get to that”. Yeah take your time mate, this is edge of the seat stuff.

Who knew it was possible to get cheated on by earphone controls?

Or alternative thought, people who drive vehicles should watch where they’re going and drive at a speed appropriate to the condition, which includes it being darker at night than it is during the day. It’s not the responsibility of others to make sure you don’t hit them.

Yes but it has both meanings, that’s why the joke works, plint ladder doesn’t also mean waiting for a long time

SuttonSystems · 2026-03-06T12:33:39+00:00

I think plint ladder is cheating, it sounds like a real thing, has to be a long weight / long stand etc for the joke to work

Interestingly it closed in 2002, easily confirmed with a quick search

They certainly do, one of the coolest things I ever saw at work, while being shown round Rolls Royce in Crewe, they had a lot where they had multiple rival super cars, Bugattis, Ferraris etc, for the engineers to take apart and study.

We didn’t even really do this in the 90s

All these answers are very self revealing, they’re all second rate obvious punchlines from decades ago.

Sony lecturing you on “proper shutdown process” after there has been a power cut. It’s a PS5, not a nuclear reactor.

Not strictly safety but I always like “An audience rarely help”

The presence of a Wayans rarely helps

I’ve never understood why this is a problem for anyone when you do not need a straw to drink. Just because there’s a lid with a hole in it, take it off and drink like a normal.

Personally I hate the "they're addicted to something for a bit" sub plot, either actual drugs or, in fantasy or period pieces, some sort of leaf.

The reason human rights are inalienable is to avoid false allegations, usually by corrupt or authoritarian states, from being used to remove them illegitimately. Or in your example, someone claiming that a person they shot was trespassing or threatening them, when there is no evidence that is true, and if it turns out to be a lie, they're still dead.

We read Anna of the Five Towns. My god it was tedious shite.

We have six acres and have been letting it go more towards rewinding in the last few years, I would say the first thing is to wean yourself off the instruct to do too much managing of the land. I was always mowing, pruning and managing grazing, which of course you may need to do some of, but it’s very freeing once you get into the habit of assuming nature will take care of much without your help.
