Popular Post mjmooney Posted December 19, 2022 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted December 19, 2022 On a more serious note... Just found out a musician friend of mine died. Same age as me. I knew he was in hospital, didn't know what for (still don't), but from chatting to him on FB only a couple of days ago, he made it sound like something minor. He was moaning about the bad TV choices of the bloke in the next bed, but enthusing about the next guitar he had lined up to buy. Last night - gone. And my mate's daughter-in-law (who we've known for years, lovely lass) died of cancer aged 39, leaving her husband and two young sons. Funeral on Wednesday. Bad, bad, bad. Merry bloody Christmas. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post PussEKatt Posted December 19, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 19, 2022 A guy I used to work with ( an we kept in touch after we both retired ) has just gone into an "Aged care" home because the nerves at the back of his neck got crushed causing problems with his spinal cord.He is in the aged care home because he cant walk or do a whole lot of things anymore.Our neighbor ( from about 12 years ago ) who we also keep in touch with has just been told that she has 3 brain tumors ( all in the front of her head ) all in-operable.So, its merry xmas there as well. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddywhack Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 Getting emails asking to review products I’ve recently purchased. I always opt out of marketing emails but these ones always seem to slip through. It’s very unlikely that I’m going to write a review on 19th December for make up bought as a Christmas present for my wife when it’s still hasn’t been delivered yet.

You don't know yet if it makes her look like Krusty the clown or not. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By definition, these are not marketing emails. You are now a customer ad these are customer relationship emails. They have consent to send these by way of contract.

Popular Post Stevo985 Posted December 19, 2022 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted December 19, 2022 Why do women continue to ask you questions about something that you immediately tell them you know nothing about? ”what kind of cake is your mom getting jack?” ”no idea she just said she’d sort it” ”ok is she making it or buying it?” ”no idea” ”from like a cake shop or just a supermarket?” ”I really don’t know” ”is she spending a lot?” ”I honestly have no idea” ”will it have a picture on it?” ”seriously I have no **** clue! Why don’t you ask her?” 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don’t you ask her?” Its a woman thing, same when you tell her that you're going out with the lads for a beer next week, she asks more questions than I do "what day you going? where you going? Who's going? What time you going? What time will you be home? Will you get battered?" The conversation between 2 men goes "fancy a beer next week?" followed by "yeah sound mate" 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emi may make you cringe. His antics may be cringeworthy, or cringe-inducing. But he cannot be cringe. Nor can his behaviour. Nothing can. Cringe is neither a noun nor an adjective. It's a verb. Cringe is what you do, in response to something. Every time I see this misuse, it makes me... I don't like the way the kids use 'cringe' these days. but I'm afraid that it can be a noun.

They've normally got 57k and want a 3 bedroom penthouse with pool and a Seaview..... And nothing poky mind! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like it when they cry because a house is so perfect then the next day rule it out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just about. "I could see a distinct cringe in his reaction". But as an adjective? "This show is just cringe" - no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
