Always remember some kid at school who was a bit "Jay from the Inbetweeners" with his stories trying to claim he was the kid in that ad, despite everyone saying it was famously Scott Parker.NorthStandUltra said:North Lower Neil said:The McDonalds advert made to look like Ceefax/Teletext.
Basically, remember the 90s? McDonalds was there in the 90s!!
Yeah, and there was a massive issue over the safety of beefburgers... why remind everyone?
Really odd lie to tell.2 -

I'm confused as to whose shirt that is. In my head I always thought it was Swansea City, but looking again, I don't think it is.

I can answer that one - cos it's foreign innit? restaurant is a froggy immigrant word as is restaurateur. Them frogs don't have proper sensible rules for words and that like what we Brits do, cos they're french and foreign.
The derivation of restaurant is from a French verb 'restaurer' (approx to restore oneself). The restaurant is the place in which the restoration takes place. 'Restaurateur' translates as the bloke who facilitates the restoration, rather than a bloke who owns a restaurant.
Similarly in English: restoration is performed by a 'restorer' rather than a restorater - although this sort of mangled construction of nouns is creeping in across the pond in America with their relentless corruption of our beautiful language.7 -
I always find it strange how some people love types of food and others hate them.
We were in Cromer today and whilst I’m not a huge seafood fan, was looking forward to trying a dressed Cromer crab so booked into a recommended restaurant.Although I managed to eat it, I wasn’t impressed and thought it was a bit rank. My wife loved it.0 -
My missus has a list of foods as long as your arm that she doesn't eat. I have three: oysters, salted anchovies and crab. Of that three, she loves crab and salted anchovies. 🙄DaveMehmet said:I always find it strange how some people love types of food and others hate them.

Maddest one for me is licorice, I can stand the stuff. I can see the redeeming features in most food but licorice is horrific, can’t stand the taste or smell, even writing this is making me nauseous.DaveMehmet said:I always find it strange how some people love types of food and others hate them.

"Happy Halloween" - the night when the portals between the living world and the spirit world are open and the souls of the dead can return being treated like somebody's birthday!2

How every other company, service etc is really hot on data protection, but you walk into a pharmacy and they ask you to tell everyone in the building at least your full name and address, sometimes your date of birth etc.
Plus you can find out that Shiela from 124 Station Road, DOB 1/12/76 has an STI and the runs.9 -
Why, whenever I go to amusement arcade on a pier, there is always someone hoovering.
Day or night, summer or winter, on every pier.5 -

So many threads lately where a person says something and another person says they said something entirely different.
Presumably people feeling the need to exaggerate to validate their point of view.0 -
People who reply to their own posts.0

People who wear jackets with no sleeves in freezing weather1

People who wear flip-flops or sliders in the street. Especially when it's freezing.2

Those 'Do you want to opt out of emails about Mother's Day/Father's Day/Christmas' etc emails.
So instead of getting a reminder, you'll get an email to discuss the reminders and it'll remind you anyway, just slightly earlier.
What a waste of time and effort all round.0 -
People who still display tax discs in their cars.0

Just seen a fat bird on a dating app describe herself as ‘kinda doughy’ and able to ‘take a surprising amount of meat.’ Eh?3
