I’ve heard ‘foo pa’ a few times and that makes me want to climb the walls. As in ‘faux pas’? Or as in the acronym? |

I’ve had two people in my life correct my pronunciation of Deus Ex as Dues Ex. One of them had a good chuckle about it too.

I like SkillUp's content a good deal, but I do wince every time he says something like, "A core tenant of..." (which happens quite often).

Can't remember which one it is, but someone who does miniature painting tutorials on YouTube pronouces decals as "deck-uls", and it makes my shit itch.

As a fan of rock music, I hate ‘rifts’.

Americans saying “soh-der” instead of solder drives me nuts, but I looked it up and, apparently, that was the original way to say it, so I’m the twat.

Americans saying Craig, did my head in when I lived in America (also when they tried to say twat as well)
Trying to see the doctor and the years of cunt tories fucking over the nhs, I have to phone up fill in the form and wait up to 2 days for some "doctor" who knows where to arrange a appointment to see a local doctor
Tories: just go private you plebs (also vote tories next time)

Feeling vaguely grumble-y over the clocks changing. Leave them alone. I’ve woken up at what is in my opinion 7.40 am naturally which is acceptable for a Sunday IMO but it’s apparently 6.40. I’ve got up as I’d rather have an extra hour of weekend than return to being too hot in bed (honestly other half is a f*cking radiator I swear) and having weird stressy dreams.
Problem is I now have an extra hour of having to act like a ninja in my own home as those two ‘take advantage of it’.

Me and my youngest have an agreement at the weekend - she's not allowed on the big telly until 8am. I'm usually up early regardless and like a cuppa, listen to the radio and do Wordle etc. This morning she comes in at 7.20 and I'm like "it's a bit early after a late night". She then gets all confused as it dawns on me that we hadn't put her clock back! She's still sat here waiting, not finished my cuppa yet.

Our massive fanny of a cat usually starts up just before 8, so no chance of a lie in today.
Then the fucker walks away from his breakfast after taking a couple of bites.

After one random stay with my folks our dog entered a war with us about not sleeping in the crate downstairs which she won. Now on the one hand I actually quite like the piggy little snores by the side of the bed but at random times of the night she will start ‘digging’ the carpet followed by a session of loudly licking her own face off, when you’ve just been woken at 2.20 am with it. When you get out of bed, she has always managed to put her skull under the exact place you’d stand too. |

After 18 months, we have relented and let the dog sleep in the living room at night. Didn't before because we didn't want him on the sofa so he slept outside In the hallway on his bed. He doesn't seem to be using them as far as we can tell. It's given us precious minutes or even hours back - before he'd be whining, purely to get in there from 6am. I think he sees it as a win, given he used to sleep in bed with my mum!

Exactly the same in our house - the boy opened our bedroom door to ask about watching a show (the rule is 7am here); we check our phones and tell him to go back to bed and stop chancing his arm. He responds plaintively saying it is 7am. I get up ten mins later and realise we hadn’t changed any clocks, including his. We now feel bad. He’s watching his show looking very smug. |

Can someone ban that fucking Gillette advert. But it’s sung with such conviction! This commercial jingle for a razor. It’s pure Parker and Stone territory |

I’ve never realised how much Pat Sharp looks like a 90s JRPG character.

Taken the day off to take my partner to the hospital for a procedure on her ankle (which seems pointless but that's another story) at 12pm. She gets a phone call at 10am from the receptionist that she might not have to come in, as the surgeon is taking longer than expected on a prior patient. This has happened before with this surgeon, where we were just about to leave and got a phone call to cancel the appointment... So now we're in limbo waiting for a phone call to say whether we can go, and she's still not able to eat anything..
