Do you want to kill your other half over their obsessive fridge magnet collection? Driven to distraction over your manager's continued use of Comic Sans (The Font of Champions)? Tell us.

I have a lot to thank Lambrini for
When I was in my late teens it was the ladies' drink of choice - there was even an advert at the time of a dazed-looking man, covered in lipstick marks, with the tagline "Mary's had a little Lambrini".

I'm dangerously close...
... to agreeing with Janet here! You wouldn't ride your bike or drive your car into the house, why would you expect to wear your outdoor shoes?

Although I have to agree with nearly all of the others. Except for the frozen food - I have some splendid vacuum-packed fillet steak and racks of pork ribs in my freezer at the moment. What's wrong with that?
(, Fri 5 Oct 2012, 16:54, closed)
I think the "shoes" thing was the one I didn't agree with.
I suspect the frozen food was really a dig at ready meals, or stuff that comes frozen already.

All you really needed to say was
"I'm middle class and a bit snooty".

We'd have worked the rest out.

Lambrini - 1.59 in tesco local. ideal for prelash.

You can't smoke anywhere
EXCEPT public places. Re-legalise me having a crafty one in a dedicated indoor area, and I happily will, believe me.

Why would you take a beautiful piece of tech art designed in California and made in Mordor
That's made of exotic metals and glass* and slips beautifully into your pocket only to wrap it in shitty rubber made from rendered down Indian children

Dunhill naturally.

Three-quarters length trousers on blokes?
Sure sign of paedophilia. See: swimming coaches.

You are wrong about;
Marrowfat peas - the easiest way to get mushy peas at home.
Harnesses on dogs - they're designed to stop them choking on a leash.
Removing shoes in my house - I do not wish my laminate to be scratched by your clogs.

Mushy peas (especially chippy ones)
