Pre-drinks is another one.  Pre means before, so before you start drinking.  Daft c***s.

It gets worse.  My most recent ex wife and her coterie of (then) yummy mummies talked of meeting for 'prinks'.   There's yer divorce justification right there.

When is the actual “celebration”?

Thankfully there’s barely a hint of it over here (which is still more coverage than the “glesca derby” gets, despite it being the”world’s greatest game”)


ETA: I want to know when so I can be as un-british as possible that day.

Friday, I believe

Just wait til Lizzie falls off her perch, the mourning period will be measured in weeks - especially if Boris has some new misdemeanour to cover up. 🙄

Down here - in the heart of Tory England - there's lots of personal affection for Queen Liz(ard).  And, though I'm not a monarchist, I can see why that is.

Not so sure if the same holds for the system of constitutional monarchy.  A fair few people would endorse a change.

I've noticed this a lot and it pisses me off.

Rude workmen ordering food at either a cafe or food van.

Today it was in Greggs.

Workie, late 40s with a swagger up to the counter like Liam Gallagher.

"Soup"

"Certainly"

Wee assistant gets the soup

"Would you like a spoon?

"Naw"

Chucks money on the counter and walks out with the walk of a cowboy that's lost his horse

Is it really that hard to say, please, thank you, enjoy the rest of your day?

If I wasn't such a shitebag I'd have said, manners!

I was then probably over nice to compensate for the knuckle dragger.

Female golfers are a rude bunch also. Way outstrip the men in the rude stakes.

Quick service for you though, beats hanging behind an old biddy counting her change and wanting to chat about the weather.

Maybe he had piles, which were particularly painful, and caused him to be uncharacteristically rude to the assistant

Automated announcement system on the LNER trains keeps pronouncing the L in Kirkcaldy, and it's driving me to the edge of madness.

You should be rat arsed by now without a care in the world.

Still working my way through them, albeit on the last.  Maybe shouldn't have gone for the 4.8% weaklings.
