On my machine I can pause it and it'll let me know if and when I can open the door. Handy for situations like this or when you find a sock on the floor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coprolite Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 I like to eat aubergine. I keep them in the fridge and take them out to cook them. The fridge is in the kitchen, which is quite humid. This causes condensation to form on said aubergine. Supermarkets add a special type of barcode sticker to aubergines which, on exposure to the smallest amount of water, dissolves to become a matrix of papier mache and glue that is impossible to remove without a pressure washer. It’s quite petty, but it gets on my nerves. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't do that to courgettes or peppers. The aubergine is clearly being singled out here. Prejudice, that's what it is 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 I've never figured out why aubergine emojis are rude. Musk got offended by a tweet by Stephen King and got his minions to put this together. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musk got offended by a tweet by Stephen King and got his minions to put this together. "Eggplants" look like penises, you see. That terrible AI representation of Stephen King has an eggplant in its mouth, so it's like it's sucking on a penis. Sucking on a penis is bad, because that makes you a homosexual, and being gay is bad. How to tell the world that you're not only a homophobe, but also have a deformed willy. Here's another question; why do men use "cocksucker" as an insult? Surely you'd want to encourage that kind of behaviour, no? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 Why do people get called a f@nny? Or a dick? It's just what it is. Cheeky wee insult. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because they're secretly disgusted by genitals. Or maybe not so secretly, in some cases. There's a surprising number of men who are absolutely revolted by vulvas, but don't seem to mind willies so much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnderooMFC Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 In an attempt to distract ourselves from general life and stare at an electric box without thinking for an extra hour a week, myself and the child have taken to watching Picture Slam. It is the lightest of light entertainment and most of the time the child can also answer the questions. It's hosted by Alan Carr, which I think on general personality some people could argue was a non-petty thing to get on someone's nerves. I really don't care as I tape it and fastforward most of the actual interaction with the contestants. My petty thing is, even putting his personality aside, Alan is just far too slow of speech(/mind?) to host something which has timed rounds. People are trying to build up their cash to progress/win the game and the host is apparently another obstacle in their way. In no way does the outcome of the game affect my life personally, but I can't help but feel frustrated on their behalf that a clock is counting down and they can't get to the next question because the guy asking them runs 5 seconds behind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of Scotlands premier occasions, full of tourists, world championships for highland dancing eyes of the world watching etc etc. They ask Martin Compston to be the chieftain and he turns up dressed like a Greenock tramp. I managed to escape the trip to post-apocalyptic Dunoon this year as the mother-in-law decided she was going to watch the wife and bairn. Sympathies to my father-in-law who had the joy instead.
