Morrison’s breakfast! Just had to take a friend to Banbury A&E and thought I’d pop into Morrison’s for a late breakfast. Ok it only costs a fiver but to have 1/2 a raw tomato, large raw mushroom and anemic bacon which has hardly seen heat from any form of cooking device is a bit much. The beans had a protective tomato sauce covering over them too. Mind you the sausage was good. Next time I’ll go upmarket and find a Spoons.

Sould try the one in Scotland - square sausage with bonus gristle, fried bread dripping in grease, and topped off by service with a snarl.

Online shops that list things in stock that they haven't got. Happens all the time buying vinyl. You track down somewhere that has something, order it, then a few days later you get an email saying they're waiting for it to come in from the supplier then inevitably a few weeks later you get the 'we can't get hold of this' email.

Just put on the website you don't have it in stock in the first place!

With you on this one. My New Year resolution for this year was not to buy any new clothes/shoes etc. Nearly year end and still on course. Most Christmas presents would normally be clothes, but will request chocolate only for this year!

And it's the stress of pressure to buy people useless shit just so that you're not seen as tight or stingy. It becomes a ridiculous example of game theory

I tell person A i don't want anything. Person A say's they don't want anything either. Scenarios:

A - I don't buy Person A anything, and they buy me something. I look like a nob.
B - I buy Person A something, and they don't buy me something. They look/feel like a nob.
C - I don't buy Person A anything, and they don't buy me anything. Great, noone looks like a nob and noones wasted money.
D - I buy person A something, and they buy me something. Both of us have shit presents and have collectively wasted 40-100 quid to save face.

People are so scared of scenario A or B happening that they go for D and meanwhile there are poor fuckers who can't afford their heating.

I generally try and set 5 or 10 pound limits on things or say lets go out for dinner/food/beer or whatever because it gets stupid.

Am I an old boring fart now?

Have you considered buying laminate flooring as an alternative to vinyl? I always find there is plenty of choice with that!

I wish the media would stop saying " mandatory" and say "compulsory" when it comes to face masks. Loads of people don't know what mandatory means.

People like this on the left/liberal/remain side of politics. I imagine this is how normal right wing people feel about the anti-vax/racist crowd.


I’d honestly think he was a Brexiter troll if I didn’t know better.

The wife suggested instead of getting presents or cards, just to book a fancy getaway next year for our anniversary at the place we got married. It'll cost more than a Terry's chocolate orange but much happier doing something like that.

There's probably a whole separate thread on this, but let me put my two'pennorth in anyway.

Vinyl is bollocks. The whole thing is a fucking rip off.

Doing something similar, the wife and I don't really need anything for xmas, so we are treating ourselves to a weekend in York away from everyone. Better then chocolate or a jumper or slippers etc etc

I'll add to that being stuck behind a rigorous receipt checker on the way out of the supermarket. Get in and get out.

The media and covid. I just hate the media they just want to create a stir and mass panic. Do they realise that they are probably talking us onto a red list in other countries with all of the hysteria?
