Time fucks with my head.

How did I get old so fast?

How did things change so fast?

Last week everything was great. This week , not so much. If only I could replay Time.

Time fucks with my head.

TroysMammy · 08/07/2025 20:23

I used to shout out "Mammy's home" and would hear a reassuring thud as my cat Troy jumped off the windowsill to come and greet me. He died of hypertropic cardiomyopathy 2 months before his 6th birthday and he would have been 15 in 2 days time. Although I've had Haribo for nearly 6 years I don't want to let go of the memory of Troy.

ImWearingPantaloons · 08/07/2025 20:23

I just love the word โ€˜pantaloonsโ€™

DisappointingAvocado · 08/07/2025 20:25

It's that feeling when you wait days for an avocado to ripen, looking forward to it eagerly, only to realise upon cutting into it that you left it too long and it is, in fact, disappointing.

They are saying 'groos.'

From Google.

What does groos mean in "don't bring me down"?

Apparently, Jeff Lynne uses โ€œgroos โ€œ as a temporary made up word to fill in a gap in the lyrics. The word โ€œgroosโ€ is actually a German word meaning โ€œgreetingsโ€ so Lynn left the lyric in the song. Later, since so many people misunderstood the lyric, Lynn actually started using the lyric โ€œBruceโ€ at concerts just for fun.

I love drinking cocktails as the sun goes down. Who doesnโ€™t?!
