Eating prunes keeps me regular. Or is it frequent...?

Just get a proper bloody dog.

Exactly, get a big manly dog!

Once a year is regular

Once a year is probably fatal if you are referring to bowel movements.

Gassoon · « **Reply #2284 on:** February 25, 2019, 09:38:53 »

Ah, but once a year as a continuous 'dribble' might be survivable. Not socially, however.

TLPower · « **Reply #2285 on:** February 25, 2019, 15:19:35 »

Not with special pants it's not.

brettchallenger · « **Reply #2286 on:** February 25, 2019, 15:48:13 »

But that would be neither frequent or regular, it would be continuous.

Just in case .... this is a TV licence scam.
I got an email saying my TV licence could not be automatically renewed and must click on the link to renew or I would not be able to view TV legally. Their site is .tvl.co.uk whereas the real site is tvlicensing.co.uk. I know this because I recently received an email informing me that I was covered until 2020.
Whenever I get an email asking me to click on a link to renew or pay anything I delete it. Then, if I'm in any doubt that it may be genuine, I use my PC to locate the relevent company / business.

Weather forecasters who don't know how to use the word 'ease'. The word, as a verb, means to make less serious or severe with these synonyms: relieve, alleviate, mitigate, assuage, allay, soothe, soften, palliate, ameliorate, mollify, moderate, tone down, blunt, dull, deaden, numb, take the edge off

Why do they have to say "ease up" or "ease down"?

This morning on R4 the forecaster used the phrase "ease out"..........

Fat Rat will love this one..... "Fruck"

As in, instead of saying someone was freaked out, they were, - in the same way as sneaked is too difficult for Americans to say or spell so they say snuck - "fruck" out.

Fat Rat · « **Reply #2290 on:** March 08, 2019, 20:35:49 »

I've not heard that one

I'm still trying to understand those that say 'can I get' and 'my bad', it's a different bloody language

Joe Rocket · « **Reply #2291 on:** March 08, 2019, 20:56:35 »

Just "check it out" FR.

I've just received a wedding invitation which includes a suggestion to "gift us"......... now where did that come from?

tallpaul · « **Reply #2292 on:** March 08, 2019, 21:04:41 »

Who are you going to gift the happy couple to? Are they fussy about it?

Clackwankers that think it's OK to sit in the middle lane of a motorway (M1) when there's 'F' all in the nearside lane!! And even worse, those total arseholes that still think using a mobile phone while driving is a good idea!!

Fat Rat · « **Reply #2294 on:** March 08, 2019, 21:09:56 »

Hotel Electricians, by that I mean the Electricians that wire Hotels, they are obviously malicious bastards. Every Hotel I have ever stayed in has a random switching arrangement for the lights, switches everywhere but none of them control the light you expect them to

Barbel Mick · « **Reply #2295 on:** March 08, 2019, 21:12:43 »

and caravans!! Just spent 4 nights in a lovely caravan in Suffolk but not one of the switches operated a light you thought it should!

Rusty Nuts · « **Reply #2296 on:** March 08, 2019, 21:16:35 »

There's a hotel on the shores of Lake Victoria in Tanzania with ceiling fans. The switch for said fan is alongside the ceiling rose. Easier to switch on than off.

tallpaul · « **Reply #2297 on:** March 08, 2019, 21:19:05 »

I agree fat rat. Those same electricians seem incapable of placing plug sockets in convenient places either. I just want a socket at the side of my bed for charging my phone. Not too much to ask, is it?!

Fat Rat · « **Reply #2298 on:** March 08, 2019, 21:29:15 »

I carry a 5M charging lead for my phone for that very reason, although it can be a bit hazardous in the middle of the night when you get up for the obligatory old man piss and there's a cable strung across the room

Joe Rocket · « **Reply #2299 on:** March 08, 2019, 21:47:39 »

I get incensed with folk who think their phones rule their lives....must charge it up closest to me while I sleep TP? A teddy bear is better company and such calm thoughts........ not must be ready for anyone who dares to call me when I'm having FR's old man piss, or sitting on the bog?

Can you go at least one day without that phone hit?
