Tbf they don't look like they need any more ice cream so arguably the taxi firm did them a favour.

I'm slightly missing the point of the thread here I realise, but am I the only one that thinks the baby/toddler isn't much to write home about?

He looks okay - wouldn't curdle milk or anything - but does every child now have to be described as "cute" or "adorable"?

LaMarschallin · 03/09/2019 14:43

PS
Not getting at you, IsadoraQuagmire, but the "cute"thing has regularly cropped up.
I've obviously got different aesthetic impressions.

And you're right - he does look fed up.

(Although not with ice cream, I suppose)

Well, with that gene pool.....

I'll get my coat on the way out.

MustardScreams · 03/09/2019 14:50

I’m really laughing at the image of the woman with a mouth full of mini cheddars trying to prove it wasn’t heroin Grin

Ahem... I have this offering from Portsmouth:

Love a local paper Grin

BringOnTheScience · 03/09/2019 15:47

I'm so glad that I have been able to share the joy with so many!

And yes, the 'Cambridge' News website is indeed utter shite. Useful only for A14 updates.

Why the hell is she posing in a bikini top, Catbot? Jesus. Talk about milking it.

WaggingKnife · 03/09/2019 15:55

Wtf is with the bikini?

MovinOnUp · 03/09/2019 16:03

Baby Edward's face in the second photo....Oh my word, He seems to be saying ''What the hell is this?''

Someone on a local FB group Google mapped walking from their house to the store. It said 6 minutes. 0.3 of a mile. Wtf??? Why would you not walk that?! At least one of them could have walked the baby and freezer stuff home

I doubt they walk anywhere except to the fridge

AllBellsNoWhistles · 03/09/2019 16:42

I've just read Catbots offering.
He's 77, his partner is 43 and the lodger is 22.
Either he's loaded or she's bedding the lodger.

Story covered by Neil Fatkin.

For some reason the Fatkin cracked me up. That name is probably more suited to the couple in the first story.

Yes, wtf is going on with that bikini top? Is it to display her implants or is she hoping to be spotted for a part on babestation? 😂

AllBellsNoWhistles · 03/09/2019 16:45

This thread ought to be named ' Sad faces and other weird stories '
All weird stories in here, better still with sad faces 😂

BiBiBirdie · 03/09/2019 16:51

Jesus
I have second hand embarrassment for them

BringOnTheScience · 03/09/2019 16:51

I can't read the Portsmouth one because it wants me to disable my adblocker Sad

8 bags of shopping for £45?

ElizaDee · 03/09/2019 16:56

45 was the cost of half the shopping, that needed to be chucked.

diddl · 03/09/2019 16:56

"Even with too much shopping to carry why didn’t one of them walk home with the frozen stuff"

Sadly it does look as if that is a strange concept to them.

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 03/09/2019 16:57

Oh I see. Still not exactly news at ten material. ‘Breaking news - Mans ice cream melts... but first back to the top story of the day - cat stuck up tree’

Shockers · 03/09/2019 17:26

To be fair, those extra thin and crispy cheddars are as addictive as crack...

Charlieiscool · 03/09/2019 17:56

This has made my day. 🤣

@AllBellsNoWhistles Ha! Fatkin also made me laugh, it's what I call one of my cats, along with plumptious Grin
