Boy at work just turned Brewdog into a verb.

"Going brewdogging" says he.

Get yerself into the fucking Atlantic.

Tell him that's old fashioned and people just call it 'dogging' these days. Then wait till he tells people what he's going to be doing....

I recently phoned a local shop to check what time they closed. I'd missed them for the day so it rolled over to an answering machine which wasn't a problem except...the recording was the voice of a little kid telling me to call back in the moooooorning. Nah, you're alright.

When did this come to mean "No, thank you"?  Hear it all the time and it's a PTTGOMN.

"D'you want another pint?"

"Nah, you're alright."

"Aye, I'm fine, but do you want a pint or not?"

Just as bad as "Don't mind if I do!" if the answer is yes.

Earlier on today I watched old footage of police interviewing Martyn Bryant, the guy who carried out the mass shooting in Tasmania in 1996, and they were constantly referring to him as "mate". Quite a strange choice of person to befriend I thought, although in his defence he does strike you as a really nice guy, always laughing and joking - even his lawyer said he hated himself for not being able to dislike him. I believe he may have had a few issues underneath the smiley exterior though. 

You could be onto something there.

There’s a hotel I stay in sometimes and the lift voice is this grating kid going “first floooor”. “Secoooond floooor”. I always tell it to f**k off. 

Those self service checkouts that announce "Thank you for shopping at Tesco (other supermarkets are available)". I always say "Don't mention it."

I have a conversation with those machines after I've paid which goes like:-

 

Checkout: "Please take your change..."

 

Me: "Even notes?!"

 

Checkout: "especially notes"

 

 

True story. Simpsons fans will get it B)

I can understand how people might forget notes, but the coins rattle out like you've hit the jackpot on a fruit machine.

I was using one (of the self service check outs) the other week and discovered the previous user had left their change behind, about £3.00 odd. The following day we were back in the same supermarket and my granddaughter got about £4.00 that someone had left behind.

Did it respond when you told it to f**k off?

Australians sticking an 'o' onto the end of words/abbreviations.

(The atrocity that is 'peno' exceeds the remit of Pretty Things and belongs in some other thread.)
Good point well made DiegoDiegoo
