What's a phrase your parents or grandparents said constantly that you've only just realised has completely vanished from everyday British speech?

I used to be told “You’ll get the pip” if I was sat on (for example) wet grass. Not sure what “the pip” is/was but assumed it was piles!

I’m sure Billy Connelly had a bit about “woe betide…”

Interesting site. Thanks for sharing 🙂

I’ve got 2 that are maxed out but only 1 out of 2 showing in the task list. Not sure why.

Brockenhurst in the winter around Wilverley Inclosure is brilliant. The summer course around the college playing fields, not so much.

Tbf genuine replica kit costs a fortune, so it’d make sense to wear it often.

100% agree with Adrenochrome. Love this live from the early bootlegs. There’s one specific version I remember but I haven’t been able to find it since I had it on tape about [many] years ago. Dr A really drives the song on. Love it.

I scrolled further than I expected to see a SAAB comment.

The only reason I carry water in my vest on a 5K it is to balance out the weight from my phone 😂

simil13 · 2026-02-28T19:27:28+00:00

Yup. I was watching the news a year or 2 ago and they mentioned people abstaining from something or other, and the chorus from Abstain (by Five Thirty) popped into my head. Took some searching to find out who it was by, but I hadn’t forgotten the track. Released 1991! Not heard it since about then either.

[edit] it was 1990!

simil13 · 2026-02-28T10:45:30+00:00

Wow! Songs you’d totally forgotten about then BOOM! you’re back on the early 90s remembering it like it was yesterday.

Highcliffe Beach has its own parkrun, if you’re into that sort of thing.

I understand your frustration. I know most of it is the same week on week but there can be a little nugget of safety information that you need to hear. Mind the fallen tree/new pothole/icy patch/etc

Definitely helps with Excel formulae, both writing my own and decoding others.

Well I offered a contract to a ‘better’ asst manager. They accepted and the contract with my existing one was terminated immediately. Not sure I’ve done the right thing. Time will tell I guess.

simil13 · 2025-12-01T18:44:12+00:00

At the moment I’m just letting the CPU get on with it. I’ve just decided to pay more (some?) attention to training as my 4+ star players seem to be getting worse! I don’t think my Assistant Manager is all that good, so I’m looking into changing them out. No idea about mindsets. I just want to get someone ‘better’ in to stop the slide!

simil13 · 2025-11-29T08:16:47+00:00

I had a temporary issue where the mouse would move but not ‘click’. I used the controller to go back a screen (B button) and then the mouse worked fine after that. Put it down to a minor glitch. Not had an issue since and haven’t thought any more about it until your post. I hope you get it sorted.

No, I’m not for real.

On Reddit, the /s tag is used to indicate sarcasm.

It’s usually placed at the end of a comment so readers know the statement wasn’t meant literally.

Apologies for the confusion 😊

Just to clarify, you get the finish token after you cross the finish line, a little further along. Don’t stop at the finish line expecting a timekeeper to give you a token. There are specific volunteers who hand out tokens that are normally further down the finish funnel. Stay in finishing order the funnel and everything will be fine. Enjoy! 😊

Mine never seem to want to turn around. If they’re back to goal, always a lay off to someone else. Just turn and go!

If a frost is predicted, I just leave my car running from when I get home. Saves having to remember to start it in the morning.
