Was round at my 90 year old mum’s house yesterday, and although she’s not too good at the moment, she still managed to make me laugh like a drain. Donald Trump appears on the telly making some speech, and afterwards she goes, “you see that Trump fella….when he talks his gob looks like a bum hole”

Fella in a meeting just said "yeah, and if I can just piggy-bank off that idea..."

Piggy-bank 

I spent the rest of the meeting smirking and then marvelling at how the phrases piggyback and piggy-bank are both in our lexicon, so similar yet completely different meanings.

I once asked for a 69 instead of a 99 from a young woman who was working on an ice cream wagon.

one time in a meeting I was getting fed up with ppl coming up with dire  predictions about a project, based mostly on pure conjecture.

said "Look let's face it - none of us has crystal balls."

never lived it down.

and what did you end up with, an inserted flake?

[Terry de Niro]

It wasn't on purpose.
There was a big queue and I was kind of daydreaming and it just slipped out.
She saw the funny side of it, but I was properly embarrassed.

Terry's gonna go down in history as the guy who invented the cone position.

I think you wanted someone to swallow you up

It really was a brain fart moment for me.

Cats when they get on a worktop or window sill and just push over whatever's there. Such little shits

BIG time.
I refuse to even watch highlights of the cheating twats.

I watch them when we play them but that's it.

Unfortunately my hubby is an English football fan so will only watch the English teams in European games. 

I'd have preferred to watch the Leipzig v Madrid game but he wouldn't entertain it 🤷

This.

On the same theme, people complaining about sports washing ruining football/sport but watching world cups in Qatar, LIV golf, PSG, tennis/cricket/golf tournaments in certain countries etc


Only way you can affect this type of stuff is by voting with your feet or eyes. Viewing figures and attention drive the sports washing process.

I hardly get a look in with most TV in our house with the Missus, but then most things on TV are shite anyway and I'm happy at my laptop and beer.

We tend to just watch hospital or police stuff rather than soaps, dramas or series.

In my defence, it was delivered to my mum's address. I chucked it in a bag that had food from the shop in it and just put the bag in the fridge when I got home. I'm not going mental just yet 

Ah, that old trick.

What happened to the blowfish?

Needed someone to hold their hand...

National stereotypes. And how they don’t always apply.

One manager is a fiery, quick to anger, quick to love, warm, physically affectionate and one is a humourless robot

One is German, one is South American Argentine.

Just reading a story on the Echo website about an ex copper who battered a police inspector who he found having sex with his police constable wife ... in the car park at Screwfix on the Wirral.

The location made me chuckle.

Chuckled at that too. There's another version of the story on there now with this odd headline:

Woman having sex in Screwfix car park screamed 'stop' as husband opened car door

Ah, the Echo. Never change
