The same folk who normally claim they are babysitting when they are left alone with their own child when their partner goes out.
I read both of these regularly on Facebook.
There's your biggest mistake! 😉Quote:

Would echo Loakes. I’ve got a couple of two tone oxfords from them. They weren’t cheap but excellent quality and comfy too.Quote:

Another one is "fierce", for example a woman in my work has been nominated as "2019's Fiercest Woman"
I can't decide if that's overwhelmingly condescending or just a new name for the office's gobby cow.
Worse when "date night" is with one or more of their own kids.Quote:

Oh, and apparently teabags have plastic in them too, so there’s that.
Had a pair of loakes. Lasted me years. Anyway I digress (perhaps we need a sartorial elegance thread) the current styles of mens shoes gie me the dry boakQuote:

Then we get the weekly weight in chat:
'How did you get on this week?'
'Lost a pound'
'Go you'
'Well how did it go this week?'
'Gained a pound and a half'
'Aww onwards and upwards'
'How did you do'
'Lost half a pound'
'Back on track, well done.'
That's just normal fluctuations in weight, there's no pattern of weight loss (or gain) there. Engage your brains.

Mines does that, but I just hit exit on the remote and it goes away.Quote:
