Laundry. Every aspect of laundry is a pain in the hoop. The only remotely easy aspect of it is ironing, which I find cathartic. The rest can **** off.

I don't mind putting fetching the dirty clothes, putting it in the machine, taking it out, even hanging it up. But I really detest, irrationally hate, getting powder/liquid and fabric softener, it just dies my nut in.

You should get a washing machine like mine.
I put in a load and it magically empties , irons and hangs everything up.
Im not sure what my wife moans for.

It was a massively expensive investment but still going strong 28 years later! Though it does cost for regular expensive maintenance 😁

I'm on my 2nd which has lasted over 18 years so far. It makes more and more annoying noises as time goes on.

I'm on my original which is guaranteed to outlast me, probably because it will do me in one of these days.

Never really liked her but I thought she was great in the professional chef contest thing that finished the other week.

Yes, I'm sure the nurses of today are going to work and thinking 'well at least it's not Spanish flu' or people being made redundant take solace in the fact that it's not as bad as the great depression.

Do people apply this to other things in life? 'Heart attack? Get a grip and stop moaning, it's not bloody cancer.'

I liked her in the great British menu and an appearance she made on Saturday kitchen.

That RBS advert she is in is on far too often and gets annoying.

I don't think I knew who she was prior to all these though.

I don’t think I have seen the RBS advert but in Menu, she is very good with a comment and knowing look to camera.

I think I have seen her on QI as well and she was decent enough, though not in the stellar category of a John Sessions or the like.

Yeah, the advertising dollars clearly work because she can be regularly seen advertising Bank of Scotland

I've seen her many times at the Fringe over the years, she's actually pretty decent at the "stand up" style shows but is much better when on the panel shows or hosting.
In her early years she dabbled a wee bit in political commentary/comedy, unfortunately saw her absolutely ripped apart by a heckler due to her dads involvement with the Calman Commission.
Unfortunate in the sense that when you're out for a night of entertainment you don't need some tanked up idiot laying in to what was then a young lassie because of who her dad was/is,,,,it's not like it was a Roy "Chubby" Brown gig!

I had no idea that she was Kenneth Calman’s daughter, just never made the link.

I passed the commonwealth games baton to her. I was the second runner in Clackmannanshire and she was 3rd.

Easy to mix them up really.

I used to flyer at the fringe in my uni days and thought I was pretty clued up regarding the comedians and I still try to flick through the options, go to shows, and chat about comics each August and I can't remember ever hearing her name! Goes to show how big the fringe is I guess.

I'll keep an eye out for her in 2021.

She's performed at the Underbelly when it was in Bristo Square, however,I've got a feeling she doesn't do the stand-up anymore
She'll more than likely be found at the BBC village that pops up in the grounds of George Heriot's.

This has probably been mentioned earlier in the thread (quite possibly by me ) but people who share crap on Facebook without actually reading the initial post/comments properly. Someone I know who lives in Orkney shared a lost dog the other day. 1) the dog went missing in Missouri; 2) the post was from 2015; 3) the dog had been reunited with its owner in 2015. A follow on from that would be people who don't delete, or at least update their 'missing' posts when their pet or belongings are traced.

Visited Stalag B&Q today, if this is the future of retailing the sooner it all goes online the better. More guards than customers inside and assistance is no longer allowed. The only human member of staff was the girl on the checkout.

TikTok, started off as a very popular social media app where folk shared short videos, some funny, some factual, some dance etc.
Today, it's nothing but glory hunting wannabes, and there's no better way to raise your profile than get some flesh out there. The amount of videos where there are quite young girls daring to reveal as much of their assets as possible without breaching the guidelines is ridiculous.
The latest challenge is the "bounce test", wear the smallest top you dare and bounce asking to a track and see what pops up. For any pervs out there, you will never see anything as it's policed quite well, but the innuendo is there and this is mostly young girls who encourage you to follow them on other platforms that may not be so well moderated.
I'm all for folk empowering themselves, and there's no room for haters, but do these individuals have no self respect?

Yeah, it's kinda difficult when your feed is full of these random glamour model wannabes.
I don't sit and watch then pee & moan, but for anyone that has used TikTok for the last couple of years, there's no getting away from the rapid increase in this kinda material. If it floated my boat, of follow "love islanders" on insta.

Never bothered at all myself, you haven’t sold it to me either 😁
