minor things that make you fume

[tommytowne]

As far as I'm concerned this is another faddish thing that's emerged recently by people trying to cover all the corners.
As I say, until recently on any foodstuff that either you've frozen, or have bought already frozen if it requires defrosting prior to putting into an oven, the instruction was defrost thoroughly before cooking.
Now it's defrost overnight in a fridge, not at room temperature. Take my word for it, if you expect any decent size of a beef joint to defrost in a fridge you are in for a shock in the morning because it'll still be the proverbial block of ice.
Be warned.

Since when did it become a thing to post pictures on social media of you and the family wearing matching pyjamas on Xmas Eve or Christmas Day. It’s daft and probably originated from America. Please stop it.

I saw so much of that last night I thought I was the only one who didn’t know what was going on, glad there’s two of us.

There's three of us.

I haven't worn pyjamas since I was ten years old.

Buying [Poor language removed] for the kids that’s destined for the landfill. Just back from my parents and they’ve announced they are bored and there’s nothing to do. I’ve just kicked right off. Probably major fume worthy.

What a time for a power cut!

Thursday nights for us at the gas works behind Central Station in Birkenhead. Then I took it in turns with my mam to push the sack of coke up the steep hill in my younger sister's push chair back up to Tranmere.

I can confirm that is a hill and a half.

There’s a few examples by places like Matalan, where they’re raising money for charities like Alder Hey, which isn’t a bad idea in my humble opinion.

People who take their Christmas tree and all decorations down on Boxing Day. Usually the same utter biffs who put them up in October.

Not minor at all, but buying stuff from Everton Direct that doesn't fit. I take L - large, but a top I bought a few months ago is too tight.
It's US L, so, the next thing I ordered a few weeks ago was the next size up, XL and it's like a tent on me and the sleeves cover my
fingers.

You'd think they would give the true sizes.
But it's a lazy generic chart.

The bint who lives in the house behind mine has this loud annoying cackle for a laugh, there's probably a good 70 odd metres if you combined our backyards yet it sounds like she does it in my ear. She's an alco and a chain smoker and sits out on her back patio all day cackling with various other annoying bints including her daughter who's in her 20's and starting to vie for the cackling title.

Or a more of quasi-legal approach is a sling shot and a few potatoes.
