That's the great British weather for you. Few days ago I had to switch the lights on during the day but I needed some stuff so had to venture out, so got soaked. As I left the supermarket I thought "Oh It's brightened up" and then I looked to the north horizon and saw as dark and brooding clouds as I have ever seen. Thankfully they were heading away.

I was on the verge of greening up for £80 in practice mode with my new bot when I got a flipping 'type mismatch' error.

Needed to buy a sweatshirt today: S, S, S, S, S, S, XXL, S, S, S, FFS!

Tried the XXL on and it fitted!!

Off topic from the usual but I know all of you morons read this thread regularly, so I’ll post this here….

Anyone heard from Pat? He’s been silent for a few months on “titter”…

Haven’t seen the fucker active on here for a minute so he’s got me thinking of him!

Supermarket checkout staff who start scanning your shopping without saying hello, looking at you or even acknowledging your existence!!

They wouldn't have jobs if it weren't for us making purchases!

I found a rocket sticking in my lawn!

What's the flipping point in reducing the price of beer when it's out of stock??

Standing like a tool at the 'self service' checkout in supermarket waiting for approval for a bottle of wine yesterday.
After waiting about 5 mins a staff member came ambling over, approves it, says nothing an walks off.

I find that depressing. Most times supermarket folks are great with me. But it just takes 1 knobhead to really cheese me off. But my relentless politeness and respect for people that fed us through covid remains undiminished.

Just made a phone to the foot clinic and I get an immediate warning that abusive behaviour towards staff will not be tolerated. How did they know I was gonna start swearing at them?

Missing penny-for-the-guy, jacket potatoes in the bonfire and toffee apples all replaced by supermarket halloween costumes and demands for 'treats' meaning packets of sweets.

Agreed. I said about Penny for the Guy to my kids the other day, and they just looked at me blankly
