We're only ever a headline or soundbite from anarchy. Doomsday peppers look more and more sage with each passing week. Pandemics and supply chain disruptions are very unnerving indeed. Jyst be glad you guys aren't awash in firearms. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 In the office tomorrow. First Monday in an office for 20 months by my reckoning. I've absolutely got the Sunday night blues! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep looking when I got to the supermarket, and online and it’s never available. Actually plenty of choice at Morrison’s via Amazon and £10 off first £50 spend too.

It used to say, 'step onto the platform before removing heavy luggage and pushchairs'. Now it says 'step onto the platform before removing heavy luggage and pushchair'. I know it's not just something I heard because the dot matrix display in the carriage also doesn't have a final s. WTF is this????? This isn't how English works! There's not just one pushchair, and pushchair is as countable noun. How did they even decide to change this? There must have been meeting where some dickhead said 'actually, it should be pushchair without an s'. **** hate that guy. Another language one that's doing my head in. I'm watching a series on Sky Atlantic, and am warned before each episode that it contains 'strong and frequent language'. No kidding, it's got dialogue in it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 People who when they're in a really shit mood decide they have to bring everyone else down with them. If I'm in a bad mood I just stew away quietly in a corner somewhere because I have a modicum of self-awareness and know that it's nobody else's problem, I **** hate that kind of atmosphere where you're treading on eggshells all day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We pre-ordered ours from M&S the other day as we do every year, except we did it a couple of months earlier than usual It is noticeable though that the usual selection of Xmas Fayre available to pre-order is much reduced. No Beef & no Porchetta for instance 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Gonna order our Turkey later today. I have a suspicion it won’t be a must have child’s toy that is in short supply this December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s no petrol, gas is too expensive to heat our homes, shelves are empty, there’s no staff to sustain the economy, taxes are going up, cost of living is going up, wages are stagnant, millions will lose their jobs as the furlough scheme ends… but on a plus side, I have turkey.
