    If you’re going to die on that fecking hill boi………..do it all the time eh? 
    Eejits!
    Long been a headshaker for me too, I am sure there is a twisted logic they use to excuse themselves that makes sense only to them and their fellow glory hunters.

    Yet another over zealous security guard at the Co-op in West Kingsdown. Most are nice and say hello but this new bloke looks like he’ll wrestle you to the floor if you go near anything.

    Finding out there is a word for a common or garden object that I have never heard before.

    Dishonest beer adverts.

    Moretti - accompanied with scenes of southern Italian sunshine and market squares.
    Brewed in grim Manchester by Heineken.

    He same brewery that churns out "Spanish" Cruz Campo. Chooses to represent its Manchester fizz with a man impossibly rolling a beer barrel through sunny Seville.

    Poretti? Suave man and his dog on a motor launch on Lake Garda? Carlsberg's Northampton factory.
    .
    Madri? Complete with tap dancing, castanet rattling ladies in a Mediterranean market square? Tadcaster, Yorkshire.
    I stopped buying Cornettos when I found they weren't made in Venice. And don't get me started on Chicago Town pizza.
    Don't get me started on Swiss Roll.
    Or chocolate fingers.
    Oi !!!

    That's my specialism ! 
    Thought you’d only like white chocolate fingers. 
    YUK ! 

    White chocolate is NOT chocolate in my book. 

    There’s a lot of people who don’t consider to be chocolate:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_chocolate?wprov=sfti1

    I used to enjoy it a lot when I was a kid, but now I prefer dark chocolate (at least 85% cocoa).

    Garden forks. Bloody feeble. Doing a rare bit of gardening because the house is on the market and decided to dig out to reedy shrubs that come through from next door. Unattractive things but not deep rooted. So i worked my way round them with a proper garden fork loosening the soil until pushing the handle down lifted each plant. Gave it a bit more oomph and the things came out relatively easily. But the fork prongs now look like Sir Les Patterson's teeth. Hopeless! I'm not even very strong.
    I'm going to go and get myself a mattock this afternoon before digging some stuff up as I know the fork's not going to be up to the job
    Mattock , proper old school prehistoric gardening/killer tool/weapon.  

    I recently bought myself a lovely stainless steel turf edger. I broke it with an hour, using it like spade because I was too lazy to go and pick up my spade. I styled it out and told the wife it was faulty.

    When a team scores a goal and you see fans struggling to unlock their phones, select camera, click record, and only then start celebrating while they're recording themselves.

    Watford at home first game of the season. Harvey Knibbs slots the winner after another well rehearsed corner routine. Unbridled joy, great to be in the covered end for moments like that, absolutely why I love football, explosion of happiness no drug can replicate. Hugging pals, going mental. Clock a bloke who I'm guessing is around my age, doing exactly that and it blew my head off how someone could be not living totally in that moment for the moment. Actually made me question the point of human existence

    It's weird to me in that presumably the idea is basically to get that little social media dopamine hit when someone likes the photo/video.

    But just celebrating the goal and moment properly is a bigger dopamine hit in the first place?

    Today I learned she was voiced by Miriam Margoyles and it has put me right off now

    Andy Milne’s omnipotence. 

    He actually sounds a nice enough guy when he speaks but unfortunately he was cursed with an excruciatingly annoying face and he’s friggin everywhere I look. It’s like I’m living in a horror film and I can’t escape his weird gurn.

    Bosses at work when one person on a team has cocked something up but they don’t have the balls to address that one person directly, so make a big thing and address the entire team with it and waste everyone’s time. 
    Someone on our team must have sent an attachment and not a SharePoint link to my boss this week as 15 of us just got a group email to reminds us not to do that. I’ve been on leave all week, I’m off the suspects list.

    Surely the culprit is easily identified by the recipients of the offending email having a look at the 'From' field. Or have I missed something?

    Oh my boss knows full well who sent it to them. They just don’t have the balls to call one person out. So we all have to be reminded or told off like little children.

    Not knowing who Andy Milne is, I'm starting to doubt his omnipresence.
