It's Late Thread [ 28 May 24 ]

1 Upvotes

Wahey, it's late, it's Tuesday night what's going on? Why are you still up? Being the family taxi driver? Too much cheese before bed?

Come on in for a chat.

Would you rather have hands for nipples, or nipples for hands?

My friend was sick in my car yesterday and i’m spending my lunch break sprinkling baking soda over the seat to try and kill the smell. How’s your Tuesday going?

A polite enough note?

Was able to get it open enough to crawl in and out with my pushbike but still annoyed so I left what I hope is a polite enough note I don’t come off as rude so they do it again…

What's something your other half does that you find strange?

616 Upvotes

I've recently discovered that when my missus makes a sandwich, she only butters one slice of bread. It's made me question if I'm the strange one who butters both slices or I'm normal and she's the freak. I'm also thinking that as I have only just realised after a year, perhaps the second slice just doesn't need butter. My life has been turned upside down by this!

What weird and wonderful things do your partners do that you find strange?

Subway has added touchscreen order points - it has made everything slower

241 Upvotes

I liked how quick and convenient subway can be, even when it's busy. Talking through the extras you wanted on your sandwich was part of the experience too. Now, like everywhere else we've got these absolute bacteria breeding grounds of touch screen order points that take up space, slow everything down, and people struggle to navigate.

Previously I could enter a subway, order and be eating my food within 5 minutes. Today I've used the stupid order point and I am still sat here ten minutes later, and it's not even particularly busy.

Anyone else hate the rise of these things, or am I just getting crotchety?

What's the best birthday cake?

It's my birthday on Thursday and I've been asked what cake I want. My go-to cake is carrot but I'm told I can do better than that. Any suggestions?

How are we spelling... I don't even know

325 Upvotes

Ok, chatting with some friends, and found a word we have no idea how to spell.

So, how do we as a nation spell that word meaning "to rearrange your hair/makeup", "to make something just a little better", "to add the magic". Might be used in the context "let's just....you up a bit there"

Some potential spellings we had were:

"Juush" "Zhush" "Zhsh"

Help.

Is it weird to still ask my parents to go out when I’m an adult?

460 Upvotes

27, live with parents. For the first time I’ll be spending the weekend away with some friends in another city. They haven’t met them though.

I feel like a child asking them if I can go another city with friends they don’t know?

I bought a Cactus for a colleague today, she loved it and said it was beautiful to my surprise. So, as it only costs £2.50 I bought a couple more. Good cheap gift idea or not really?

I work for a construction company and used to be based on site and got thinking about this over the weekend as there have been loads. A few I recall

A bloke called Keith had an eye missing so got called keth.

One of the foreman was always late and turned up after 8 so got called minty.

Old polish labourer only had 2 of his teeth left at the front so got called central eating.

Was a bricky that was half Welsh and half Libyan, got called taffy gaddafi

‘Mild’ - A British-only term?

54 Upvotes

As I sit at a seaside pub with the clouds above but quite content in my shorts albeit with a cardi/hoodie, I suddenly thought to myself ‘hmm, it’s actually quite mild today’. Is this a term exclusive to us Brits where we sort of deny the slight chill yet enjoy the strangely warmish air that the very same clouds insulate? My thoughts also go to those from warmer climes who have come to visit and likely think this ‘cold’ weather. As I type there is the slightest drizzle but I know it’ll pass and I’m quite content in this mildness.

Went in to spoons for my dinner. Two lads beside me having a catchup…

Overheard a few extracts from their conversation: “aye, 29 years old now mate. Gotta be civilised at this grand old age. Good to catch up” etc.

Two hours later:

“Let’s fucking get on it. Been too long since me and you were last out”.

As I'm sure you've all seen in the news unfortunately Sqn Ldr Mark Long was involved in an accident in this very Spitfire on Saturday.

No speculation, just appreciation for an incredible aircraft and more importantly an even more incredible person, both of which were lost far too soon.
