That they've seemingly changed the Quorn cocktail sausage recipe as well as the packaging and they now taste like shit.

[Professor Willow]

The way that cheap wrapping paper will never fold neatly.

[Father Christmas]

the amount of time it took me to remember the password to this bloomin' account.

[Jen.]

Finding out 15 minutes into a first date that she's a Tory when the opening line of my profile is literally "No Tories/no Leave voters/no Marvel/no Funko Pops"

[Schmosby]

^Seems like a weird prerequisite for sex.

[Dougella]

^ I could make a mean comment, but I won't!

[Appear]

I wouldn't have sex with a Funko Pop either to be fair. And I'm very easy.

You say that now...

To be honest, I'd probably settle for a Tory 10 if I was very desperate, but the thought of finding shelves of Pops in a person's house is enough to make me heal over.

Chris Tarrant. Prefer Michael Portillo.

[Rocket Spud]

This lodging itself in my head, playing away in the background - i've never even watched a Wallace & Gromit!

[Professor Willow]

When I'm trying to answer the questions on Mastermind and people keep talking over the TV.

Gender reveal parties, what's the point? It's going to be one or the other and if someone's hoping for one rather than the other surely they should be examining why!

[Toxic]

Why is my boss ringing me on new years eve, I mean I won't be leaving the house (and he probably knows this) but you don't own me today! Your getting ignored

But if it wasn't for those we wouldn't have those wonderful gender reveal party fail compilations!

My favourite type is when the reveal box is hung up somewhere and instead of balloons or something coming out when the dad pulls a string, the box isn't attached firmly enough so he pulls the whole thing down and it smacks the mother in the head/face. That seems to happen all the time.

They're always very strange when they go right though, it always seems that the dads and brothers are extremely angry when it's revealed to be a girl. I've never seen one where someone throws a hissy fit about it being a boy.

[Dougella]

^ Well I suppose so.


That's the thing, if the idea of having a daughter is such a disappointment to some men then there's a big problem there! I'm tempted to use the word patriarchy.

[Professor Willow]

People who feel the need to let off their new year's eve fireworks at 10pm!
The new year hasn't started yet!

[Dougella]

^ I just said the same thing! What's the point of setting them off now, it's not time yet.

[Jen.]

I heard them going off last night until after 2am... seemed like there was a competition on who could do the last one.

[Jen.]

Going to the gym early assuming it'll be quiet like usual but forgetting that all the "new year, new me" idiots will be there and all the machines are taken Roll on February when 95% of them will have given up and stopped going.

My petrol light has come round again, its only done 126 miles, I'm sure its great on long runs, alas I do not do long runs.. It also wants the higher RON stuff

I sure my male brain rationalised this purchase decision to work in my favour in some shape or form..but I'm buggered if I know how.

[Oddity]

^ Yes you can! I've had some for over 10 years They can get in the way a bit due to being USB powered but they're really good You must be able to get much better ones now.

[newbs16]

Myself sometimes, when you feel anxious and don't know where to look, so you probably keep focusing on the same area and people probably think you're odd.

[limey123]

Adjectives that the media keeps turning into nouns. Now you see on the TV news "Australia bush fires" and "the Pakistan Army" instead of "Australian bush fires" and "the Pakistani Army".

But no-one (I hope!) would say "the Germany Army" or "Britain hurricanes" – so why the above?

[newbs16]

^ Sometimes I wonder if they say this when they can't be bothered to deliver them.

[Veni Vidi Vado]

Most Couriers work under a sham self employment pay per drop system which means if they have any difficulty finding an address then they just have to move on , or their already low wages become even more exploitative.

[Jen.]

When people end a post with "(this isn't about anyone here)" even though they posted a few minutes after someone else, specifically referencing things that person said in their post. So silly.

[Merritt]

Hope you haven't been left completely trouserless for the week, Biccies.

Edit: Oh wait, you got them. Trouser crisis averted.
