apologies for replying to my own message but I need to make, what I think, is a comedic point!

 

The 12 year old boy in me (not literally) thinks RiRi sounds a bit like wee wee. 

 

I'm Riri's biggest fan.  Riri is great.  I love Riri!

Oh, I'll add combining couple's names together to make a 'cute' nickname, eg. Brad and Angelina 'brangelina'. But this is now everyone, even if the new name is awkward sounding and just doesn't make sense!  Are people really that lazy they can't say two names any more?!

I'm glad people don't do that to me and Mr Woo - we'd be either Sick or Moo

That is wrong ....VERY WRONG - I couldn't bear anyone using my 'special' mug. It's mine END OF. I think I'd wash it, dry it and put it in my bag - I've become a bit anal in my old age.

I do sometimes put it back on my desk Soozy but every now and again I leave it to dry after rinsing it out. What bugs me is it's a personalised mug and like you I'd never dream of going somewhere I didn't know and picking up one with a picture or pattern on it. It would occur to me that it belongs to someone.

 

Oh, and it's also a mug with '50' on that I got for my birthday a couple of years ago

Thank you Xochi. I will keep it for a while. Not sure if Erin likes/dislikes or is indifferent to our change and update sessions

Related to ^.

 

My local BBC news programme have started their handovers to a news item or report by saying "here/next/coming up is an exclusive..."

 

Grrrrr I don't give a stuff if it's exclusive or not. In fact BBC Look North, the more you do it the more I want to turn off your programme.

Adverts.

 

In the main, they seem to offer something that they could not deliver. I've tried all the different Lynx products and not one car has stopped followed by a manic female desperate for my company.

 

My friend who I have known for 20  years has used face creme everyday, yet she still looks like a 35 year old woman. Regenium - piffle !!!

Get real, you have no idea what they are really like only what you have read in gossip column's - which is tailored to sell copy.

I've actually heard people say,

"I don't like him/her"

When asked why they have no reason, "Its just a feeling"

 

Rushing to judge based on nothing is rife.

That's me - and I'm entitled to feel however I like about anybody.

I really hate that too - I think it's so childish, and people can't seem to wait to do it to 'couples' in BB especially.

   I might revise my opinion in that case - classic!

Of course it had to reach its zenith.

Tulisa is now referred to as "Tu"

I think "Lisa" is more her style.

Sky advert for broadband.

 

Al Pacino's laptop is buffering music, Al takes a swing at a golf ball which ricochet's around the room finally embedding it's self into the laptop screen at which point the buffering of the music stops.

 

That would not happen, the damage to the screen would not affect the playing or buffering of the music.
