This is a question Accidental innuendo

Freddy Woo writes, "A woman I used to work with once walked into a car workshop to get her windscreen replaced, and uttered the immortal line, "Have you seen the size of my crack?"

What innuendos have you accidentally walked into? Are you a 1970s Carry On film character?
Extra points for the inappropriateness of the context

This is a QotW answer woo
Naked f5 nimble fingered Thursday ahoy!

Aren't the word's 'There are currently 4 open questions' annoying?

Everyone make it across ok?


..........................................


EDIT - Regular QOTWers notice! There's a space for us to chat here. HLT, have you got those cushions from the other question for us to sit on? And any cake?




EDIT again... as this thread mounted to a mammoth 515 replies, and took an age to get anywhere, we all got frustrated and headed over to look at spakkas's length on page 20. Do come join us :)

EDIT and again...we're on p23 now under beckyjsbx's length this time

Edit Monday 16th - we're here now www.b3ta.com/questions/innuendo/post175030

Final edit - I know it was suggested that I update this post with each new place we were chatting, but really it's been non stop, and people do seem to have found us...

The first time my parents went away on holiday and left me on my own, I tried to make pizza from scratch, base and all. It went very, very badly.

I ate a lot of sandwiches that week, and didn't look at all healthy when they returned.

This is a QotW comment here PoD
This gave me a laugh...

petitions.pm.gov.uk/nodamnation/

We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to update harassment laws to prohibit religious bullying aimed at children.

-The current laws on harassment are not sufficient to protect children from the sort of bullying that religious groups use every day to coerce children into obedience and belief. Threatening an adult with eternal torture may be distasteful but is not likely to result in psychological damage. This is not the case with children. The effects of religious bullying can be long-term and serious, from nightmares and depression to anxiety disorders and even suicide.

The fact that threats of damnation, torture and other extreme punishment are used routinely is clear evidence that existing laws are insufficient. We call on the Prime Minister to clarify the existing harassment laws by adding clauses outlawing any form of threat, supernatural or otherwise, aimed at children; and to provide guidance to the police and other authorities on the enforcement of these laws.

Just joined it, thanks. Ooh, but for coolness value, some of Shaun of the dead was filmed here in East finchley :)

POD: Last time my parents went on holiday when I was still living at home I was able to drive, so drove them to the airport, got back home and found 3 cases of coca cola in the garage that were left over from a party. Decided it was a good idea to drink all of it in one day and didn't sleep the whole week they were gone. Night time drives around Essex at 4am were quite fun as it's all country lanes at 70mph :)

I can't comment on anyone driving fast - I've done over 130 on public roads, in the dead of night. I couldn't possibly condone it, of course not, but it *was fun*

EDIT - just remembered, I test drove a Lotus Elise a few years back. As we crested a hill in Dorset, chappie said, 'drop it into third and put your foot down'

At that point in my life, they were the most exciting words anyone had ever said to me. And fuck, was that a fun car to drive...

is good because it's so close to the ground. It's like driving a kart.

has had a series of fast cars. He's got a Porsche of some kind (and not just your ordinary 911) at the moment, but at one point he had a souped up Subaru Impreza. Seriously souped up.

He took me out in it. When he put the foot down, my eyes went out of focus, as I wasn't quite expecting it. By the time I'd recovered, we were doing 90 in 3rd and accelerating rapidly.

I must admit I was a tad apprehensive going at 130mph on rural roads in central England. Not outright scared per se, but my arse was knitting socks.

I mean, I can imagine it being hard in a small company, but what about a big company,where people are based at different sites? There can't be a 'one size fits all' answer.

Where I work (5000+ staff), there are loads of couples and people are just expected to behave professionally, regardless of them.

When I was in a smaller company, the rule was 'you must inform management if you begin a relationship with someone of a different grade'

It will depend on what the company do, they're size, how spread out the employees are, and all that kind of rubbish.

In a very small coffee shop, with the area behind the counter being roughly, say, 8 or 10 m^2 at the most, I would say it should be disallowed.

But then, I do hate one half of the only couple working there.

Ok, so maybe law was the wrong word. I was thinking more about discrimination I guess. If jobs are supposed to be given on merit, what so relationships have to do with it?

I can see that if someone became less than competent because of a relationship that's one matter, and would likely be misconduct or something, as a problem of it's own, but a blanket rule seems to flash the warning lights of discrimination to me..

Ok, so discrimination is wrong apparently.

But yeah, I suppose I would reckon that a relationship is likely to make you biased towards a person, especially if they are your subordinate. Also, if you split up, it could cause all sorts of problems for the company.

Basically, organisations don't want you to be happy, they just want to protect themselves. And make money.

Perhaps the rules are just in place to prevent the fallout from relationships going wrong. Maybe that's why they let the married couple in, but talked at least two others into resigning (IIRC - it's mostly chinese whispers). This of course did not stop the odd work-fling here and there.

who sent me pictures of another guy who was very very hot then agreed to meet me at Liverpool st station. I get there and start scanning people, trying to see him where we arranged to meet. Then this lumbering brick shit house of a guy wanders up beaming "Becky, nice to meet you". I was shocked to say the least, but agreed to go to the pub with him.

Incredibly dull doesn't begin to explain him. He talked about his job and how much he hated it, but didn't want to leave as it was easy money and the receptionist was a hottie. I waited til he went to the toilet and legged it.

Switched my phone off til I got home and got close to 100 missed calls and around 30 texts. I replied to one to say I was safe and had changed my mind out of courtesy. He then rang me a further 200 times, texted another 75 times saying what a bitch I was for not staying and talking to him. I replied by saying, maybe if he'd been honest in the first place about who he was I'd have stayed but he was a cunt for pretending to be someone else. At which I was called shallow. WTF?

I plan to stop by here during for the day and then later in the evening after I come back from Senser. The place where the gig is has a strange effect on me, I can drink the same there as my local, but get twice as drunk. So my typing will be appalling.

If we're agreed (cheers spakka), I'll make a 'home sweet home' tapestry for the wall in here then, shall I? HLT had some cushions left over from dumping people that I'm sure we could borrow too.

This is a QotW comment Not really...
The word Viking comes from the Old Norse word "vikingr", lit. "one who came from the fjords", from "vik", meaning a bay, creek, fjord or inlet. By the end of the Viking period, the term referred to pirates or robbers operating by sea, known as "vikingr" in West Norse, and was used as a term for sea-born warfare and harrying in the West Norse "Viking". Though mostly used as a general term for pirates there are instances of another use in some of the Icelandic sagas. There some were considered vikings and to be "going on Viking" who sailed out to claim fame and fortune for themselves.[3] This could involve seeking the stewardship of kings, trading in foreign parts and raiding. These names were common mainly in Scandinavia itself, however, and many other terms were generally used in the wider world. These included heathens, northmen, Lochlannachs in the Irish tongue, the people from the north, the Danes, Rus', or simply the foreigners. These terms, however, were used for the Viking peoples as a whole, and thus never accounted for the class distinction between vikings and other Norsemen nor the variety of the Nordic peoples.

The Normans were descended from Scandanavians (which is how William of Normandy had a claim to the English throne when Harald Harlanda died). And the Norse traded around the Med and down to West Africa anyway. So you could have a Dutch Viking.

This is a QotW comment I think mine is scared of me too
As I got up last night to for a piss about 2am just as she had gotten into her room. I heard her bolt out of bed and lock the door. So I wandered up and down the hallway a few times banging into things to freak her out. I know, I'm so considerate of others. And she's a messy fucker. Granted I am too, but only in my room. But she leaves food out in the kitchen, takes up all the freezer space and then doesnt eat any of it and actually pisses on the toilet seat. I took one of those family size toilet roll packs into the toilet when I first moved in and there was three of us, since the other girl has moved out I've been replacing the toilet roll in there as she doesn't bother. So now I keep it in my room instead and she shakes off (presumably) and there's always drops on the seat. Feeeeeeelthy bitch.
