Be the bigger man. More constructively, my wife is part of a “standard” group of 5, who meets at each other’s houses every month or so. I know all the husbands well, all good lads, but: One of the guys gets slagged most of the night by his wife, actually can’t do a thing right, the other women are always mortified and try to fight his corner. Two of the other husbands get neutral press, but occasional scathing accounts are given of their daftness, thoughtlessness and insensitivity. The remaining “other” husband and I never get any flak, and in fact quite often spontaneously get a good press. Now, the two of us are by some distance the most eccentric husbands in the group. Certainly deserving of as much pillorying as any of the others. From this, I conclude that the slagging volume received is not strongly correlated with the amount of slagging deserved: it’s more that some of the wives appear to enjoy holding the floor and getting “support” for the trials they have to face. It’s apparently a social-interaction thing rather than a reflection of bad husbanding. I’m borderline jealous of the Bad Boys.

He’s probably still reeling from Fletcher commenting that he was a) negroid and b) illegitimate.

False!

Oxymoron thread for this pish.

Too soon, Sarge.

I like to think the "uc" is silent.

For some reason, Jim in that clip always reminds me of Mad Frankie Frazer in the Mad as a Lorry interview. John suffered for that question.

Hmm. The most recent Thistle promotion followed a relegation. So maybe you're right.

From the excellent Cabin Pressure: CAROLYN: So, the deal is that I pay you £362 now ... HERC: Yes. CAROLYN: ... plus you don’t pay any rent next time you land on any of my greens, my yellows – excluding Leicester Square – or Park Lane ... unless I’ve built a hotel on it, unless you mortgage something, unless it’s a station. HERC: Unless it’s King’s Cross. CAROLYN: Yes. Well, that seems straightforward enough. Deal. DOUGLAS: I must say, Herc, Monopoly’s a very different game with you than it is with Arthur. ARTHUR (indignantly): Hey! DOUGLAS: Arthur’s strategy tends to be pretty ruthlessly focussed on getting Marylebone and Covent Garden because those are the ones he’s been to. CAROLYN: He also once did a deal whereby he gave Martin Mayfair so long as he was also allowed to give him the Electric Company. ARTHUR: Well, I kept having to times things by four. That’s not fun, that’s maths! I'm with Arthur on those.

Stopping after a finite period of time ("lasted") is the very definition of relenting.

Hmm. Two-headed cyclop [sic] seems like it would have two eyes, so... probably not eligible for membership of the Cyclops tribe. Hence, presumably, the off-brand naming.

+1 on the long-tailed tits. Here's an unusual pose from the Borders.

I remember Lionel trying to make in the US with a version of GUAC. Negotiations got as far as flying him over, to see how he would go down on the pilot.

I should have made it more obvious that I was referring to GDPR. Retaining data for longer than necessary is proscribed.

I hope that's just misleading, and they mean "temporarily held" rather than "retained". Once the checks for which they are required are complete, there should be no requirement to continue to store such documents.

Your results are back, Mr Botham. There's bad news and good news. Your body is bloated; with the exception of your cock, which is totally shredded.

The first scissor cut into a piece of fresh construction paper.

Yes, that's the elephant in the woodpile.

M&Ss tend to be packed, including the associated parking e.g. at The Gyle. Tesco at Hermiston Gait is a pretty good shop, and parking is typically not too bad. It could be a handy location for your route, too
