    My partner started a new job last month and was told pay day was the last Wednesday in the month so we've worked on the basis we'll both be paid next week. 

    She checked her bank account today and found she's been paid "early". 

    She told her mum tonight and the first words out her mum's mouth were "how much did you get?"

    Why do people think these questions are acceptable?

    Possibly your partner opened the door for this question by mentioning she had been paid. If it was a question that came out of nowhere then I'd be more shocked. 

    I have been living in Asia for ever so such questions are daily occurrences. 

    Do you have kids? Why not?

    How much do you pay for your place? Why don't you get a bigger/smaller place?

    Why did you get divorced? Was that your fault?

    and so on.

    No trolling, just curious.  Dundee fans are slagging up the United team saying none of them would get in the Dundee team, least scared they have been about United in years, etc.

    Who in the Dundee team is any good?  I mean that seriously, I didn't pay much attention last season and probably couldn't name 11 Dundee players right now.

    My Dad’s car in the 60’s. Plastic seats. 6 hours baking in the sun at Nairn beach. Me and my two brothers jumping onto the back seat wearing shorts  .  .  . oh the laughs we shared while we were getting our skin grafts. 

    I remember that day - it was in all the papers.

    As an aside I don’t think I’ve driven a manual since the mid 1980s although I learnt to drive in a column shift Chrysler Valiant.

    I started to drive an automatic for the 1st time last July.

    If that was my current local, the bar maids would be forever having to sling their droopy jubblies over their shoulder to stop them falling into your pint.

    Aye, that's a bit weird right enough. Not sure I'd like to see the middle aged barmaids in my local getting their saggy chebs out. Probably droop right into the drips tray.

  6. Ford Fiesta

    Ford Ka

    Audi A4

    Lexus iS200

    Ford Mondeo

    Toyota Raize

    Not all that many for me considering I'm an older c***.  Didn't start driving until 39 and then didn't drive between 2004 and 2023 (living abroad, not in the jail before anybody asks).

    I know a guy called Feliks. Russian linguist and literary scholar, works on Classical Gaelic, a fine dude.

    Edited to add: never seen him wear a monocle, but you never know what shenanigans linguists might get up to for a hobby.

    Aye, those linguists can be cunning.

    My friend moved to Greater Manchester recently. Spoke to him on the phone, and apparently he's become a transvestite. He said he now has a wig and a dress.

    Judge? 

    I lived in Greater Manchester but never became a transvestite although I did develop a good eye for home decoration.   Maybe I got out just in time.

    I find it quite easy to go through life without using homophobic or racist language.  Maybe you just need to try a little bit harder.

    I don't really mind you (all that much) as a poster, Granny, but you're coming across as a bit of a dick here.

    Just finished what should have been a quick drive, but watching the morons round these bits doing new and even more stupid tricks on the roundabouts does my tits in and has me wondering. Has the performance of drivers on British roundabouts fallen significantly, or is it still acceptably decent? Examples of local idiocy are complete failure to take openings even my child can see, drivers on the roundabout slowing to a stop and waving entering drivers to go ahead, entering drivers stopping when there is no traffic, etc.

    Here roundabouts are chaotic with 50% of drivers giving way to entering vehicles and the other 50% doing it correctly.  To be fair the guidance is at best confusing by suggesting you can give way to joining vehicles if it's safe to do so.
