Random Irritations

My mum in law has got Alan Carr on the TV.

Blimey. I hope that voice is put on for tv.

He's a bit grating but he did made me laugh aloud many years ago...
"I had to go to A&E Friday night.
Well!! Have you seen the state of everyone there? I couldnt believe what I was seeing. I thought a bomb had gone off in Lidl!"

My Mrs - bless her cotton socks…”I can’t find my Fitbit - could you help me look for it…”

Me…cautiously…”where do you normally put it?”

BHCS…”by the bed on the bedside table”

Me…ever so very cautiously “have you checked there?”

Two minutes later BHCS appears wearing Fitbit

Me…says nuuuthing

Its role reversal in this house and she always adds "I suppose youve had a man's look?"
I like Count Arthur Strong's advice "Have you looked everywhere? I always start by looking everywhere."

A man would be accused of sexism if he said that wouldn't he.

I'm told by at least 1 female a week "I wouldn't know what (whatever the subject is) is like, you're a man.

I suspect it was said with tongue in cheek.

It may well have been, but my point is women often say similar things without anything being said, but a man is accused of being sexist.

On holiday this week with Jet2, they send me an email on Friday with a code for £120 off our next booking. That’s very nice thinks me, then I notice it expires on the day we travel home (yesterday). Spent most of the day travelling, got home at 8pm knackered, last thing I want to do is plan and book next years holiday.

If they had given us a week or even a month to use the code, I would have, but I just don’t see the logic of expiring it the day we travel.

People get caught up in the holiday feeling and often book the next one while they are away as they are on a holiday high. It is why you go to some resorts and they put a special offer deal in your room just before you leave if you book there and then. People are thinking less rationally

Two choices:
Be offended or,
Laugh.
We prefer the latter.

Whatever you do, dont watch Bill Burr.

I'm not offended in the slightest.
I'm just highlighting the double standards that exist in the modern world.
F is for Family was a very funny series

 

[Sid Rixon IV]

I think "double standards" are often simply people looking to be offended and claiming offence on behalf of others.
When my wife and I go out with a few friends and partners the "battle of the sexes" banter is hilarious. We even play "Ooh, you can't say that!" and point at each other but ... we know our boundaries.

Have you watched Old dads?

No, but his standup pushes all the boundaries on what's "offensive" and I'm pleased to see both sexes laughing at each other.

Could they be Diwali lights? That was the other night

 

[Lord Tyrion]

In the centre console area of my car there is a two cup holder set up, behind that a section designed for a phone to sit. There is even a c connection charging point, also to connect android auto. It's all very nicely designed until you connect the phone to the charger / AA connection. Then it doesn't fit, it has to perch clumsily out of the compartment. It's messy, ugly and poor design .

If the sides of the compartment had a gap then the wire could fit through and it wouldn't be quite so messy, but there isn't one. It's irritating.
