Chester Draws, in a parallel universe

[ifIwerenotanandroid]

Somewhere this week on MN, I've seen someone write about 'the luck of the drawer' - which still makes sense, as if there's a huge chest of many, many drawers & you have to pick one to open, without knowing what's inside any of them.

I’ve seen “it’s a mind field” a few times on various platforms recently

Nice one.

I did something off my own back the other day.

Lots of Bran New items on FB Marketplace.

You all need to reign it in and tow the line.

Primary school HT wrote in newsletter how Covid had been a steep lurking curb for them 🤦🏼‍♀️

LEARNING curb. Doh!

😮I’ve just had a look online to see what I should be saying instead (‘off your own bat’)!
Please tell me I’m not the only one on here that has been saying it wrong all these years 😳.

In this stein age.

I think they meant to write: "in this day and age" !!

Perhaps it's a speech to text error.

One of my online nature groups has had a spotting of a monk jack deer reported. This made me smile.

We can only hope it's not Gertrude.

FFS quote not working. That was in response to @Senseofnopurpose.

Apparently, some people say "you've got another thing coming" instead of "think"

<runs away>

These are malapropisms named after Mrs Makaprop by Sheridan in mid 1700s iirc.

A man of great statue.

Learning curve

My favourite ever sign was on the door of a derelict shop. It said

We are now closed for the unforseeable future

I could do with alot of rest bite.

I can't think of any examples at the moment, but I'm sure I will if you bare with me 😉

I see what you did there 😉

If you think this is over, you've got another think coming

Haha

I see rest bite a lot. Usually from other professionals.

Someone has been chewing too much is all I can think.

I was looking in a local shop and there was a printed sign on the wall that said "we no longer except checks". Surely one of the staff must have realised how stupid it looked.

I was genuinely confused when an estate agent was talking to me about their system allowing me to search for property on 'Pacific' streets.
I wa surprised by this, as I hadn't said I was leaving the UK!

i thought this was a thread about me.

I was going to say rest bite as well...also "ofey" (au fait) 🤦‍♀️
