Random Irritations

Give it a few months those dishwasher tablets will be worth £250

You’re not wrong, the way prices are shooting up is crazy. Popped to the supermarket for a few bits yesterday. A litre of own brand olive oil was £5.15. Last time I bought one (maybe 6 weeks ago) it was around £3.50. Hovis seeded loaf was £2.10.

Not so much an irritation, more of a puzzlement
I was out shopping yesterday (my car read -1 outside) and I lost count of people wearing shorts, especially the guy wearing the wooly hat.
Is it me?

What is it that is puzzling you? The people wearing shorts or your sudden loss of ability in counting? Was it a senior moment?

my eldest asking if i can pick her up, drop her at work and get her when she finishes at 10pm as she doesn't want to drive in the snow as "its icy."

I guess the snow and ice disappears when i drive!

In a way you should be thankful that she knows her limitations

My reference to the temperature (-1) should be all you need to understand my meaning so I can only assume you are looking for an argument. Ignore list for you.

Surely it was meant as a joke?

As, I expect was Bob's comment

No we've thought the same. Someone in shorts, t-shirt and flip flops the other day.

The laughing emoji would suggest he was laughing at me not with me.
Imurg got the point without feeling the need for a sarcastic comment, shame Neilds didn't.
One less person to argue with which at my age is a bonus.

Interpretation then I guess........to me when someone adds a laughing emoji it shows the intent of the comment was humorous.

Obviously not!

Yes?

Old age and the sudden susceptibility to the cold. And having some annoying little bugger wanting to be taken out for a walk.

 

[Imurg]

Just been out in the car....spentn10 minutes clearing all the snow from it..
Seems it's legal to not have to do that now judging by the number of bell ends that don't bother.....
One driver of a big German car had a slit about 12 inches wide across his windscreen clear while every other window, bonnet and roof were covered....
I hope he crashes into a lamppost

The price of logs/firewood this year!

Bob…..These emojis are a nightmare. Apart from not knowing what most mean, really, it is creating a new language for some. And it seems they are responsible for a lot of misunderstanding.
E.g. To me that laughing emoji means only something funny. I don’t see it as laughing at or with someone..I don’t see the differences between some similar emojis.
As I say, a nightmare…
Just take the laughing one as meaning the whole thing is funny..
Too cold for aggro…eh?

 

[Swinglowandslow]

Yes?

Bloke out jogging had a rucksack on his back. However, he was naked from the waist up.!
Snow and ice all round.

Have to say though in defence of emojis, for some reason I’m still struggling to sort my recycled phone (from my lad) as it does not make the emoji keyboard available for any form of texting…and what a nuisance…having to check and recheck every message I send to make sure that it can‘t be misinterpreted…?
