ADs deflower male cucumbers for the Greater Good. All phallic aubergines welcome .

BogRollBOGOF · 14/08/2020 00:27

Because bitter male cucumbers don't bring joy, but phallic aubergines can raise an irreverent smile.

AD chat continues about life, the universe and everything. We know the answer is 42 but what is the question?
6x7?
How many roads must a man walk down?
How many unsadly reincarnations have PHE put into the database?

My dog is a greyhound and they are lazy fuckers. She would run and hide at the thought of anything more energetic than a slow sniff through the woods!

Tried to leave a comment but you have to sign up. I get enough crap sent to my email don't need more!

Bet when he thought he was a big brave man questioning what a woman should do but he didnt expect another man to shut him up! Bit extreme obviously but as someone commented he will maybe think twice next time.

Had a female teenage member of staff told to fuck off yesterday because there was a wait for hot food in cafe, throwing sandwiches around like a toddler. Yep a big bloke railing against a petite teen. What a classy society we have become.

I am done with it all no more fucks to give.

I have a feeling that the German law is stemming from a need to stop illegal and inhumane breeders. But, as is normal for government of all shades, they've gone all Orwellian about it.
My friend rescued a dog that had been used for breeding, and she was in a pitiful state. She had been crated for days on end, kept in a pregnant state for prolonged periods, and then abandoned when she couldn't breed any more. Her hips are permanently damaged because of what the breeders subjected her to. She's found a loving home in her twilight years, thanks to my friend.
This law, that has probably been written to save dogs like her, would actually kill her now as she can't walk for that long!

Not read the whole thread yet but re sniffing hands fat face one is lovely, nice looking bottle too!

countrygirl99 · 20/08/2020 08:46

Well, it was bound to happen to one of the mask police eventually.

ISaySteadyOn · 20/08/2020 09:33

True.
Thank you to all the riders who explained about falling off. I should have remembered that having fallen off many times, the best one being a slow slide off during a trot as the saddle made its way down the horse's side due to a loose girth.

Anyone else's DC really playing up? Mine are really winding each other up.

RobinHobb · 20/08/2020 10:45

I've got Dd1 who is almost 5 in a forest school holiday camp type thing for the day, till 4pm.
Am stricken with mum guilt for no apparent reason - she has gone before and went off happy and smiling. After all this time in lockdown with her in my face 24/7 I can't believe I'm the one suffering from separation anxiety ffs. DD2 (almost 3) at home with me and deprived of her partner in crime wants me to entertain her.

I wandered into the rest of the site - it's horrific - there is a thread on house arrest gah

Yet on the current masks thread there are comments such as ‘jog on, hopefully into someone sneezing ... Covid germs straight onto your face’

That was directed at me - for suggesting she was magic because she KNOWS that all those people aren't exempt. She also told me to jog on and take my conspiracy theories with me. Tempted to ask her what my conspiracy theories are - because I have no idea.

I actually find it funny when they resort to name calling - it shows that you have got to them and, even though it won't change their mind, they have had at least to confront what their vigilante behaviour looks like from the outside.

TheOrchidKiller · 20/08/2020 10:56

Catching up, because (drum roll) me & DH actually went out for dinner, alone, & it was lovely.

Bad night's sleep again, including a dream that track & trace were after me. In the dream someone had accidentally named me as a contact & I had to convince everyone of my innocence, but was also acutely aware of feeling "unclean".

@Willow2017 DD has had customers complaining about the wait for food and yet being seemingly oblivious to the fact that the world & his wife are taking advantage of the Rishi deal, and that restaurants have no extra staff, or capacity due to SD. We had a wait last night but hey, these things happen. We were just pleased to be out.

@Dowser please don't feel bad for me playing hopscotch in the underpass on holiday. It wasn't me that was the child, it was when my DCs were really small & they have no memory of that holiday at all so no trauma there!

@Worldgonecrazy
Can Dr Hilary Dementor Jones just fuck off.
I worked in a building that had a large cardboard cut-out of the perma-tanned doctor on the landing. ShockHe made me jump every time I went up the stairs.

Several dogs round here get rides on their owners' mobility scooters, and a few have doggy strollers. I once saw a cat reclining in a human pushchair on a fleecy blanket, as its owner took it window shopping through the local Intu centre. The cat looked quite happy. (I've told my cat this story & he looked disgusted).

ShoeJunkie · 20/08/2020 11:54

Found some more ADs last night. Tried out a boot camp thing and at one point had to use medicine balls for burpees etc. Instructor made it clear if anyone was uncomfortable touching the equipment he could give alternatives that didn’t need it. Not one single person took him up on the offer Grin
Given that he’d had us all rolling round on the wet grass prior to that there didn’t seem much point!

TheOrchidKiller · 20/08/2020 12:44

@ShoeJunkie glad you enjoyed your bootcamp. DH signed up to play 5-a-side this week, for the first time since March. The list of rules was huge, including, "if you touch the ball with your hands you must wear gloves," and, "toilets will be open but it's one-in, one-out." (Childishly, that always makes me snigger).

Anyway it didn't happen- too many bad backs & other trashed body parts from lockdown gardening & DIY persuits amongst the middle-aged players to make up a team!

We have capacity just not enough staff and kitchen is tiny the whole back area is too cramped. We closed for a while yesterday just to catch up.with clearing tables dishes and more cooking and restocking. We had some sanctimonious bint at the barrier actually timing us as she wanted to make sure we opened when we said we would! Its un fecking real!

ISaySteadyOn · 20/08/2020 13:06

Seriously? DD1 and I went out for lunch on Monday and we were just happy to be there at all.

TheOrchidKiller · 20/08/2020 13:27

We were thrilled to be eating in a restaurant & not having to cook or wash up. But some people, like the cheeky clock-watcher in Willow's post are damned rude.

DD says the level of entitlement from some customers has reached new levels, with some complaining about all the other diners "flocking" to the restaurant on Mondays, which is the day they prefer to go, so how very dare anyone else turn up & take "their" table & preferred time!

It's like being surprised that people want to go to the beach on a hot day in the UK when all their other options for going anywhere nice have been taken away. People are strange.

PickAChew · 20/08/2020 13:29

Anyone wouod think you were a public service, @willow2017

That's generous. I would go with "people are idiots"!

justasking111 · 20/08/2020 14:01

Over run with tourists here, have given up thinking of going for a meal Rishi or no Rishi until September. Just too many folk at this time of the year regardless of covid issues.

Willow2017 · 20/08/2020 14:04

Pickachew I know! People will happily queue behind 25 other people for 45 minutes then get huffy when we say it will be the same again for hot food as we just can't do it any faster! Then they are back at the till in 30 minutes wondering where thier food is!

Most people are great just the arseholes who want everything changed around on thier plate, don't order stuff then claim they did, (It's nor on your receipt you didn't order it mate) moan that thier fried egg is not runny enough as i pass with a tray of food for another customer "Can you just go get me another one"? Can you do my bacon really crisp (It's cooked in batches we can't possibly do every bit of bacon to order ffs!)
Yesterday for the first hour every single bloody one wanted variations on thier meals, or waited till I had rung it all through then wanted to change something! I cant do it just make up your mind before you order! I was getting stabby!
We have to do each meal seperately as there are 20 questions about it and we get customers reeling off the whole order before i get a chance to ask how many is in thier group so i.can continue. And nobody can hear each other so to help out I can point at the choices in HUGE letters on the till I.e. brown or white toast, 1 or 2 slices they read it then say "Yes" Wtaf???? Grrrrr.

Bloody hell! From that article he specifically wants tags on criminals & "known flight risks" ie "drug dealers" & "bikies" (I googled that term, think he means Hells Angels). Not sure what its got to do with preventing the spread of covid, TBH.

Just looked up that quote about power & corruption because reading this, the quote sprung into my head
"All power corrupts but absolute power corrupts absolutely."

Ibake · 20/08/2020 14:49

Ooh I like that quote @TheOrchidKiller

TheOrchidKiller · 20/08/2020 14:55

We had an awesome deputy head at secondary school (1980s) who was terrifying but well-respected. He was full of quotes like these but also good at explaining them.

It was said by John Dalberg-Acton (I had to google that). I think it means that those with masses of power do things that are really not of benefit to the majority. Can think of a number of public figures this applies to.
