Similar to when you engage a team-member in small talk on their hobby just to be polite and humour them, then they bring stuff in for you related to it. One woman who used to work for me on more than one occasion brought in some Harry Potter merchandise to show me after I asked her about her trip to HP world and she mistook my politeness for avid interest, of which there was none.

Adults who go to theme parks, unless chaperoning their kids, are weird.

Especially now that their primary purpose is pretty obsolete. Can't remember the last time I last saw someone check their watch for the time instead of their phone or computer or whatever.

My watch is only a running GPS/smart watch thingy but I check that before I check my phone, out of habit.

I always check my watch, due to living over 25 years before mobile phones even became a thing. Its a damn site quicker than pissing about with a phone too.

I always wear a watch, have done since I was a kid and it feels weird without one, although I did get out of the habit wfh during Covid. Also it's easier to have a sneaky look at the time if you're needing to get away from someone than to check a phone. ;D I do often do that thing where I look at my watch out of habit but don't really take in the actual time though, and then have to look again a few seconds later.

during meetings, I used to place my watch upright on the table in front of me so I could easily see it without being noticed - useful to know how much of your life is draining away and to know when to bail (if possible).  a great trick I learned from my boss.

How reliant people are on their mobiles. Fucking baffles me. I regularly leave the house without mine, and I don’t give a shite when I realise. Even me mates know to message my wife when they need to speak to “Soft Shite who doesn’t answer his phone”.

Genuinely don’t get how/why people need to send 500 texts a day, or comment/ like their “socials” even more often. Get a real life you blerts.

People who vote Tory. Takes a really special kind of c*nt to want kids to starve, that want the NHS to fail and want the country to become a hateful cesspit.

Over the years I have known some Tories that I called friends. Fucked every single one of the hateful c*nts off and my life has been so much better since.

I find this genuinely weird...
I plug my Iphone charger into my phone; doesn't work.
I take it out and turn it over; still doesn't work.
Take it out again and turn it over to the first side I tried; starts charging  ???

I used to get my chargers from the market but got sick of them stopping working after a bit, so I decided to get a genuine charger from Apple stores instead. I am still having the same issues having paid a lot more for a genuine charger. Like you though after saying its incompatible it then begins to charge as normal anyway.  :no

A pet rabbit escaped from a house down the road last night. My (adult) kids were out trying to catch it so I wandered down to see what they were doing. Next thing a cat wanders out, clocks the rabbit and goes nuts. The rabbit pegs it, the cat legs after it down the road, as it gets close the rabbit does a u-turn and leaves the cat on its arse. The rabbit starts legging it back towards me with the cat in pursuit again. The rabbit bombs past me fast as fuck, so I prevent the cat from getting past me. The cat swerves in to a garden and tries to get round me a different way so I block it again and chase it up the road.

Fucking hell, it was mad. Never in my life have I seen a cat chase a rabbit up a road, funny as fuck :)

The rabbit hid under a couple of different cars while we tried to entice it out with carrots.

In the end we couldn't catch it, even though a load of people from another house came out to help, so gave up. Some of the neighbours are going to go out today and find bits of carrot all over their drive and wonder what the fuck has been happening.

I have only just caught up with this, so funny. I hope the rabbit made it back inside.  ;D

He's from Dagestan. They find him funny for all the wrong reasons, because he's a 19 year old with a growth condition so he will always look like that, but people treat him like a child. Have to admit though his laugh is brilliant.

To be fair Disney isn't really for adults, especially the main one (Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom and Epcot are a bit more). But the ones with the big rollercoasters, in this country too, are pretty much for adults.

Went to Disneyland Paris with the kids once. Served my time watching the parades and going on the shit rises and then queued like a loser on my own to go in Space Mountain (or is that where United play?). Did feel a bit of a twat and just rode it in silence because would have been even weirder to woop on your own.

Maybe Howard has a point. :D
