Some unfortunate circumstances have seen me having to share the house with my ex-partner, children's dad, during lockdown.

I have a smartphone like most people.
My smartphone is bluethoothed to the car we shared before we split. I occasionally use this car. I love music. Car is always set to play from my phone.

Ex went out to the supermarket whilst the kids were going to sleep.

It's been a looong lonely lockdown. My new man ditched me about 4 weeks ago, understandably, given I had had to move back in with ex fuckhead and I am mid cycle with dying last-ditch eggs bidding for survival.

Ladies and gents: do not under any circumstances watch rude action on your phone whilst bluetooth is turned on. When your bluetoothed car arrives on the driveway, the driver will get something they hadn't bargained for, through the car stereo.

It took me about 10 seconds to think what the fuck has happened to the sound.... bloody bloody bandwidth issues, again! Oh.... fuckkkkkkk Grin

Oh thanks folks. Glad I am not completely alone and others have suffered similar technological ermmmmm glitches.

To whoever asked about the eggs. I'm referring to the poor dying eggs of perimenopause that tend to make you a bit frisky mid-cycle. If you're not there yet.... beware, my friend.

@Whathewatnoe hmmm possibly. Dated the OW, got engaged to her and we got divorced. Not much time between it all

Upherefordancing · 30/04/2020 23:06

Don't worry OP, that happened to me about a year ago! I was having a long bath and had forgotten to turn off our Bose speaker in the kitchen that my phone was Bluetoothed to.

My DH got very worked up and ended up picking the lock of the bathroom to have some real life action! It was funny but a bit scary at the same time 😂😱

EeK @EL8888. Sorry to hear that.
Imagine if his mother had been in the car.... oh dear. Although she shared some choice and very much unwanted graphic detail in the past. So I suspect the second-hand moaning wouldnt have phased her at all...

Arf at the teenage son. How absolutely mortifying for him!

My parents' car is also blue toothed to my phone note to self ;)

@upherefordancing oh that makes me feel lots better. I also have a bose speaker but the worst I have managed with that to date is broadcasting awful audio notes of my secret crap musical compositions... I'd rather people heard porn, than that .

Ps gold bars. Bring it on. I love their sickly ways.

Most porn is revolting and very unsexy. But there is non-exploitative, non-bleached/plucked/shaved stuff out there. I like sex. I like watching others have sex. Unfashionable but them's the breaks Confused

Not like caramac? LTB.

I like those old style wagon wheels the new ones don't taste anywhere near as good & are about half the size (conversation about chocolate)

Yallreadyforthis · 01/05/2020 00:13

Curly - Wurleys used to be really long. They still taste nice though.

sadeyedladyofthelowlandsea · 01/05/2020 00:20

I am in raptures of delight because my local corner shop has started stocking morning coffee biscuits. I fucking love those bastards.

Jenasaurus · 01/05/2020 00:26

Back in the day my Ex was put on a diet by his new GF, he used to come in to my house and eat 12 wagon wheels at a time...true story

Snooks1971 · 01/05/2020 00:37

Trios to me are like Dreamies are to cats

Snooks1971 · 01/05/2020 00:39

I would kill for a Trio right now [yearns]

1forAll74 · 01/05/2020 00:45

I will have to ask my local priest if this was ok.

BlackeyedSusan · 01/05/2020 00:45

Oops.

sadeyedladyofthelowlandsea · 01/05/2020 00:49

I would actually hurt someone for a toffee pop biscuit right now.

sadeyedladyofthelowlandsea · 01/05/2020 00:51

oh my god - TRIO TRIIIIIOOO. They used to have the paper wrappers with little jokes inside that you scratched with the foil to reveal.

I don't even really like biscuits that much. Why am I suddenly yearning for them so badly?

LemsipLemsipLemsip · 01/05/2020 01:13

I’ve now added Trio’s and Gold bars to the shopping list.

Badtasteflump · 01/05/2020 01:44

Jaffa cakes were never bigger - it was just that your hands used to be smaller. Ditto Wagon Wheels.

Ilovesausages · 01/05/2020 03:18

I loooooove Caramac

bettybattenburg · 01/05/2020 03:46

I've just ordered a rabbit and im anticipating much less hassle and much more fun.

Hamsters are more fun, small and cuddly and happy to keep you company in the small hours.

bettybattenburg · 01/05/2020 03:47

I have about fifteen foot of freshly dug over flower beds and am wondering what to put in them

Well that makes a change from under the patio.

MashedSpud · 01/05/2020 04:04

It would also work to use tungsten tip screws.
