It's more slagging Trump, so agree it should be on the Holy Ground and not the Main Forum.

In 2024, grown-up people using ridiculous rhymes for basic body parts. Describing the chestal area in terms of 19th century coinage, what, for fear of offending the admins?

Only used about Hearts because they're always on about how big** they are.

Reduced train sizes at peak hours.

Usually the train into town and back is between four and six carriages.... but today it's TWO!

Nah, East Kilbride to Glasgow Central,

but I've heard some bad stories about the Fife line, mostly from staff.

[Viva_Palmeiras]

The weekly over use of the term “huge” game.

FFS - if they’re all huge we’ve just lost perspective or the ability to express ourselves

Xmas jumper day at work. Why? So you can dress like a fud to be collectively known as fuds for the day?

Fun is up the mountains or doing something with loved ones not forced into a room to get a quick snap taken for the office intranet.

Office ******s.

If it’s any consolation to you the Glasgow Central to Larkhall line is equally shan for this

Huge post. Principle applies to a few other words as well, esp super. Super tasty = very tasty (or sometimes just tasty). But then if language never changed, who would read Susie Dent's blooesky posts?

Superhuge game at the weekend.

I’m not grinch like around Christmas at all, but cannot stand forced “fun” like this.

So glad I work from home and don’t have to get involved in this kind of *****.

[Pretty Boy]

Another one for the forced Christmas fun. I like Christmas, really like it actually, and I also don't mind people having a laugh at my expense or being a bit daft or wearing something stupid for my kids enjoyment but I just can't stand this 'we're having fun, everyone is having fun, it's all so fun, fun, fun'.

I was at a trade show of a buying group my work is in back in October. There was an awards dinner at night. I generally can't stand these 'networking' things anyway especially when they then descend into self congratulatory bull**** but when you factor in the theme for the dinner was Mardi Gras then it becomes unbearable. I looked around the room and of the 2 or 300 people in attendance I struggle to believe a single person was enjoying themselves. Then the head honcho came on stage in rainbow glitter suit, sunglasses and a sequins pork pie hat playing air guitar and you see where the directive for Mardi Gras = fun, fun, fun came from and I found the solitary person who was in their element. It was excruciating. They put on a free bar until midnight but as soon as the main event finished at 10 a couple of the guys from our Irish base and myself ****ed off and paid £7 a pint in the main hotel bar. A bargain when the alternative was free drink but having to endure another couple of hours of that.

People who automatically think because I have some relaxed muscle around my girth I qualify as work Santa, patronising *******s ! 🤬

Thats 10 years in a row Ive done it, no ****ing more !

This is def my last year 🤔

[Hiber-nation]

The Christmas lunch day was one of the highlights for most of my working life. Obviously in some jobs there were idiots that you didn't want to have in the same room as you but for the most part they were brilliant.

My peeve nowadays is having to work myself up to eating and drinking far more than I usually do for my day out with the lads, knowing that I'll want to go home straight after our lunch but having to soldier on with a few Buscopan to help along the way.

[Bridge hibs]

Anyone else feel that Christmas day closes earlier every year ? In days of yore I always went to the Outlaws and was always up for a good few beers at Porty Legion before tucking into a feast that the lovely ladies had prepared. After that it was music on and a bit of a sing song before being chucked out around 9pm.

The following years chucking out time became earlier and a good signal was when the Mother in Law started cleaning up and switched the immersion on for good measure.

Fast forward to them being deid and us having our own Christmas with our kids but woah it was tiring. They flew the nest and now have their own kids and last year was hectic to say the least and both myself and my Wife were burnt out at 5pm and just ready to chill the **** out.

My old Mother in Law had the right idea, I didnt see it then but I sure as hell see it now 🫨

Spiral staircase, specifically the inside of them, on Saturday I was in a pub with a spiral staircase, was walking down talking to my pals, hadn't even touched a drop yet and forgot that if you are in the inside of a spiral staircase the stairs get smaller the closer you get to the bottom, with about 3 to go I took a full step without looking and took a Jeff Hardy style Swanton Bomb down the stairs, my right leg is currently a colour it shouldn't be

Note to self, pay attention on steps

If it was Jeff Hardy style, surely that makes it more likely you had too much to drink?!?
