Why is everyone starting to spell 'doughnut' incorrectly?

[Oddity]

[Oddity]

Every time I see it spelt like that I'm going to pronounce it 'do nut' just to annoy people

[newbs16]

Over thinking again, I wish my brain would shut up.

Donut is the awful Americanism that is ever seeping into the world.

i always thought it was meant to be dough nought, cos its dough in the shape of a nought

^ depressing isn't it. Even if you do win it's like £2.97. Another rip off.

spilled a cuppa on my keyboard yesterday. salvaged it but now some of the keys are starting to stick x/

When you're waiting for a bus and someone else comes to the stop and stands exactly infront of where you were just staring waiting for the bus. Well thanks a lot. Now I've either got to stare at the back of your head or complain about you on my phone.

Playing tit for tat. I'm better than that but also I can't play tennis so this is the only chance I get at being Andy Murray.

My mother's never ending need to buy mass produced cherub statues to decorate our garden like we are running some sort of under cover cemetery and are in fact forever in the mourning phase. Add her overwhelming desire to buy further overpriced tat such as a glitter toilet seat. Managed to curb that one but the fact she even brought it home was enough. Tomorrow I suspect i'll be waking up to a toilet that's glowing an array of colors with some of those lights that illuminate the bowl because girls find it so difficult to aim.

And on that note, men past the age of 40 that still haven't learnt to put the toilet seat back down after they go pee pee.

I'm amazed any woman past the age of 15 would think guys actually give a damn and only put it down to stop the nagging

But at the same time flushing should always be done with the lid down, then I lift it back up after of course

Good thing we don't live together or our fridge would be the lavatory etiquette noticeboard:


Nagging reminds me of my father's favorite word, whinging to describe my mother talking. It's only now he's gone and she only has me to talk to, I can appreciate where he was coming from. I'm kidding. She provides excellent 24/7 reminders. Who needs Alexa.



Blimey, what a pr*ck.

^ Was he whistling?

My dog making an arse of me: i was all ready for a walk with her, got a few steps from the front door when she stopped dead, not wanting to go further...... so we turned around and went back inside

[Rocket Spud]

^ Was it a bumbley one? Seems to be loads of those about these past few days

Thats true, I hadn't noticed any bees until a few days ago and now they're everywhere. Must be the warm weather thats woken them up.

Nope, it was a honey bee!

Yeah, I've seen some big momma bumble bees about lately. They look like their drunk flying.

Ah, not a bumbley but a weebee

Yeah, must be the weather. They do look a bit dozy - could be where they're getting their bearings after so long without flight.

[Rocket Spud]

Ok, i've had a look, and i think what we're seeing are queen bees - which hibernate during the winter and come out in spring, searching for a suitable nesting area to begin world domination.

Which makes sense because the one that flew into the house earlier, at one point after i was half-arsedly trying to wuft it out, was seeking shelter in amongst the cushions of the sofa... (it does look cosy there).

[Rocket Spud]

That's the kinda thing i did imagine, we don't want that!

It's lucky they make so much noise

[kirbycrackle]

****ing Nissan using paranoid on their shitty ad

[hellotiger]

^Adverts ruin good songs

[kirbycrackle]

^ indeedy they do.

[anxiouslondoner]

Calendars that start the week on a Sunday. It's called the weekEND, dammit!

[A Whimsical Stranger]

^ Agreed. That's annoyed me since I was wee and my gran would buy me pants with the days of the week on them and Sunday would be at the start.

Guys that use hair bands. Unless your carrying a katana the top knot doesn't work for you. Let your hair down you big Jessy!

The remaining peppercorns in the grinder are too big to grind

Does anyone know what use they have? Like, can i just throw them into a stew? I've tried a pestle and mortar to mash them up but they're really quite tough.

[Rocket Spud]

Pfft, i'm too charming to have enemies

Yeah, i'm due another packet - these big ones have been in there for quite a while, i need to bin them really cos they're literally too big and won't grind :/
