If it was collected by someone in the group with the intention of setting up the mailing list, then it's fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I'm with Tony here, don't stop me winning nutty chocolate. If one person in a hundred has a nut allergy, perhaps they could see to it that they don't eat nuts? on another pissed off with a school theme: Been to the nipper's 6th form event for a talk about Uni this evening, what an absolute shower of a presentation. Not enough coffee for all attending, not enough seats, it over ran by an hour, speakers' names were wrong on the info sheet, and a guy describing himself as the Executive Head Teacher had blocks of tiny print on power point slides, and then just read them out. Seriously unimpressed. I would genuinely expect better from the students. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every year I play "The Nutcracker" at least 50 times around Christmas. All I ever sing in my head is "Everyone's a fruit & nut cake." If I did it out loud people would think I was mad and so thank you for reassuring me that it isn't just some voice in my head I've made up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To continue in this vein - and most definitely qualifying as something that pisses me off... Strawberries and raspberries are apparently not berries, they're "aggregate fruit". And yet, the following are classified as berries: bananas, avocado, tomato, pumpkin, watermelon, kiwi fruit. This really grind my gears. Way more than it should.
