Oh shit, I part on the same side as Mogg. I don't know what that means, but it can't be good. Makes me almost want to mutter something in Latin and defer to the teaching of the Catholic Church in attempt to simulateneously distance myself from and justify any unsavoury position I might hold. No idea why.

lol you handled it well, just as he might with his 5 million years worth of self deprecation training, its almost as if you have so many hundreds of millions in the bank that you can literally afford to put yourself down


maybe your head suits this style better? i never actually ever thought "the hair is parted on the wrong side" about anyone before i witnessed teh mogg

Love this!!

I’m really funny about numbers, like to see specific numbers on the clock or do things a certain number of times.

Germs. Do not even get me started. I hate using dirty spoons to stir coffee (that have only been in coffee). If someone wants to share something with me (or me them) I always get a separate plate/glass/bottle/whatever... Idk it’s just a reservation of mine.

Again relating to numbers, I sometimes delay posting something (on any forum or social media) to make it go through at a certain time. Say for example it’s 1:13pm, I usually wait until 1:14pm. I don’t always do it but I do it enough.

I have my apps in the exact same order all the time (if I move them I can’t stop thinking about it)!!

I’m a right weirdo!!

I used to have a thing about how many rings to wait before putting the phone down. It had to be a multiple of four. I don't know why! Something to do with bars of music I suppose. Not that I even phone anyone these days.

Something I can’t stand is the sound of clocks ticking, especially at night. If I’m at someone else’s house then I have to either take the batteries out of the clock or put it in another room.



whenever i used to stay at my grans as a kid she was like a hoarder of ornaments and stuff like that so she had loads of clocks in her living room and they'd all chatter away all night long while i lay awake in the dark looking at the odd shapes the light from outside made on the ceiling

I hate loudly ticking clocks too. Noises bother me, like people eating loudly, sniffing, people who talk loudly etc.

Another silly thing I worry about is buying something for a particular event. It's hard to explain, but today I was buying flowers for my mum for Mother's Day. Carrying them to the car embarrassed me, because everyone else would know why I bought them. It annoys me to be seen to do the cliched thing. Does that make sense? Last week I did a big shop because of the snow, and it was so cringey, I was mortified. I've never celebrated Valentine's because it embarrasses me, although I also think it's just plain stupid.

Reading this I think I seem like a teenager, but I'm a middle aged woman.

.

well they are kind of tube shaped, and you can see muck down inside the tube. if you are gonna fry em then i guess its not bad but i just cant fathom them ever being "clean"

All my notes have to face the same way queens head upwards. If they are in a stack they must go 5s, 10s, 20s, 50s. When I end up with Scottish notes or old 5s, 10s they go at the back of their respective value pile.

I'm sorry but the idea of someone actually pooing in a pool is hilarious. I mean it's also totally repulsive but like seriously no one could do that discretely except maybe a little kid. Where you abroad by any chance? There are some horrible swimming pools in foreign hotels.

God I'd forgotten those foot baths, I remember them from school swimming lessons. I think jinny's right they no longer seem to have them.

Swimming pools are revolting. Why would you want to get into a large bath with a load of salty strangers?
Also the floor surrounding the pool freaks me out. I don't like the texture.

I'm getting terrible flashbacks to school swimming lessons. I haven't been to a swimming pool for nearly 20 years, but I reckon one whiff of the chlorine would have me doubled over with stomach cramps, like in the bad old days. All those hours having to flail about in nothing but a pair of trunks in front of girls, right in the midst of puberty no less.

I'd have been thankful for a jobby floating past, if it took the attention away from me. I actually got that feeling the other day: Walking down my street, a man with his dog, happily squeezing out his business (the dog, not the man). I couldn't help thinking, at least I'm not the foulest thing on the pavement at the moment. I'd probably have a lot more confidence in general if there was always a dog turd close by, to absorb disgust.

when i think back i didnt have such concerns back then, i dunno if the way my disconnect from people manifested itself just meant that i kinda saw people my own age as some kind of different species like a load of ants or something :|

anyways i need to type this cos its been bugging me recently and it won't go away. down behind my radiators i can see the fins behind it are all clogged up with fluff, oose and dust and i cant stop thinking about maybe crumpling up a bit of paper and pushing it down between them with a stick to dislodge it all

i can't help thinking that my radiators must just be pumping out and circulating all this dust


if i made a video of this would any one like to see?
