It's been about two decades. But I get ya.:grinheart:

Do you think they've thought of updating the smilies?

I did guide miss Lynzpower to our thread, but she had trouble logging in and I got way too drunk for a Tuesday.

Booty call definition, a phone call, text message, email, etc., whose purpose is to arrange a meeting to have casual sex.

(Booty as in slang for bottom)

Booty always used to be treasure/prize money that pirates et al got from their dastardly exploits.

I tell you, being on MSE has been quite an ejukashun. I keep finding that quite innocent words I use all the time also have a sinister alter meaning that could get me into all sorts of trouble!

However, I belong to the Resistance Movement determined not to let the alter meanings stop me using words I have used all my life!

Words like:
Knobby - the end part of a loaf
Glory hole - the messy cupboard under the stairs
Morning Glory - a rather nice climbing plant
Dogger - a rather interesting type of boulder

And others too numerous to mention.

You need to pick quicker.... then it'd be just 5 minutes' work to 'earn' £5.50's worth of strawbs

Except it was rasbs

I'll be able to pick quicker next year - when I've turned the unkempt thicket into two neat, supported rows with a picking gap in between

The picking will be quicker, but there's the time to tame the thicket..... I don't see how you can hope to compete with yellow sticker prices at the supermarket.

Talking of supermarkets, I needed some heavy duty plastic bags to take the remaining bits of the old fence to the dump. Rubble sacks are expensive, and the broken wood makes holes in them anyway. So, I bought some of Mr T's Bags For Life, which did the job nicely. These now have holes in them. The question for the NPs is whether I should take them back to Mr T and exchange them for new ones?

Tempting .... you're balancing the excitement of "getting away with something/something for nothing" against "looking like a strange and grasping eejit".... you've not used them for their intended purpose, which a smarmy manager would point out to you (VERY smugly) ....

Probably best done 30 miles away from home if you do try it. 60 miles of fuel .... do the calculations.

I wouldn't.


They were used for a heavy-duty purpose, which was bound to damage them, not for shopping.
Doesn't seem fair, really.

As they've got holes in them, why not fill them with compost and turn them into planters?
