We’ve had the opposite when a single parsnip turned up, thought we’d ordered a kilo bag
And the bargain of the century wine that was actually half-bottles, but the photo on the website made them look full size

A mate of mine used to take the piss out of his mum for accidentally buying mini jars of jam - like the ones you get given at breakfast in a hotel.
He stopped doing it when his bargain Jamesons purchase turned out to be half bottles.

I don't seem to really need an alarm in the mornings these days, I seem to wake up about 5mins before my alarm and then I seem to be able to predict within about 15secs of exactly when it'll actually go off. Same for the snooze function. FML

That comes with old age - like finding you repeat yourself a lot.

I rarely wake up with an alarm. I'm not jumping out of bed excited at the prospect of another day or anything like that, but I tend to wake up at least 15 minutes before my alarm. I use these 15 minutes contemplating how much I wish I was still asleep.
The alarm is still useful though as it acts as a reminder that I really should be getting up.

I use alarms to remind me when I need to get ready for something, like a night out or work. It really helps me to switch off, rather than waste the day away waiting to do said thing.

Justwatch can get in the fucking bin! There's one streaming service mentioned in the list, so presumably it must be on that.
Oh wait, read the small print and it's just a fucking ad. I don't want to watch similar films, I want to watch the film I specifically searched for you massive twat!
You had one fucking job!

You are correct (Nowtv free trial it is then). Tossers. Letterboxd is good but doesn't have the same services in the free offering

Anybody struggling with the date today just remember remember, the fucking 6th November apparently.
Absolute write off of a day at work after a group of 5 or 6 cunts set off successions of bombs at 1, 1.15, 1.50 and 2.10 am, illegally on the common, every time just as I was finally dropping off to sleep.
Seems like we are in for a repeat prescription tonight.

They always seem to advertise Apple+, so I'm under the impression that Apple has pretty much every movie and tv show ever  |

adverts for the thing you're watching appearing during the ad-break of the thing you're watching "We interrupt this screening of Day of the Jackal to suggest you might like to watch... Day of the Jackal"

They don’t need to have a big bang and that’s where it is going wrong. I hate to be a self hating misandrist too but it’s all men feeling manly by making this racket. Mums and women are not buying them.

Day off tomorrow and thought might go to Zizzi for pizza but its nearly £18, so 3 courses and drink will likely be nearly £50

Aye, eating out these days has gone nuts, pre-covid/Ukraine we would eat out maybe three times a month, we eat out now probably half a dozen times a year now and most of that is Macdonalds shite (if you can call that eating out), I suppose that's also a reflection of our lack of cash as well as how much eating out costs nowadays.

the thing is Pizza pilgrims around the corner do a better pizza for less (been there recently). I went to zizzi last year and it was £13.50 ish and tbh I can get a supermarket pizza from sainsbury or waitrose that is just as good for £5 or £6

Much the same here. For a family of 4, even a bog standard pub trip is now close to a ton.

With my wife and our two older kids added in the total bill was £200. No one had more than three pints and I think it was about ten pints in total for the four of us. No idea why pubs are whining about losing customers…. |

We ate at a Greene King last week (four adults) and it came to just over 50 quid. Only had a main and a drink each mind but the food was decent.
