To think that instead of having a 'cheeky' glass of vino .....

[MurielWoods]

You should just have a glass of fucking wine and get on with it?

A 'cheeky' glass will still pickle your liver.

Lots of FB updates tonight that are pissing me off I may be suffering PMS

Oh and saying 'don't mind if I do' - just drink it FFS!

And breath ...........

"Is this a thing?"

Winds me right up. It's fucking stupid. It makes the person look like an idiotic twat too.

YANBU, anybody posting about drinking wine last night is a Bastard of the First Order.
Cheeky or otherwise.

I'm no longer on fb but for some unknown reason it was adding 'me thinks' at the ended of a status that used to irritate me.

'Cheeky glass of wine tonight me thinks'

I agree with everyone , what on earth is with grown ups talking like children ? Just talk like an adult and get on with it . I find sometimes I don't even know what people are going on about anymore it's so ridiculous .

its not Facebook it's your friends. I don't see this at all. No 'cheeky' stuff, very few meal check ins (and then only if there is a reason of some kind) no life editing. Just people I like posting about stuff they've done - and since I like them I'm quite interested and pleased for them when it's good stuff.
'Cheeky' and 'naughty' are very annoying though.

Everybody says that they have Facebook but don't use it. Who actually uses it then?

Its not Facebook it's your friends. I don't see this at all

There seems to something about FB that makes certain people become ultra-twattish, though. I only have FB friends that I know and like IRL, and who are witty, intelligent and interesting face-to-face, but the number of them who continually post banal shit or carefully contrived attempts to be 'hilarious' is mind-boggling.

I bloody hate this too!

All these grown women thinking they are so cool and hilariously funny for drinking alcohol. It's ridiculous on so many levels. Even if it was funny once (which it wasn't imo) - it is so OVER! They are basically telling the same "joke" again and again and again.

I also have a FB friend who is always having a "cheeky voddy".

Time for a voddy!
Think I'll have a voddy!
Ooh, finally sitting down with a cheeky voddy!
It's voddy o-clock!

I like this woman in RL, but fucking hell, I have considered blocking her because of this! It makes me cringe and feel irrationally angry all at the same time!

I feel a new thread coming on...

Just unfollow or delete.. I hate the drinking culture in the Uk, drinking and acting the fool or being cheeky was once the preserve of the young..

Now it seems that people are quite delighted to tell the world they are going to get drunk and laugh at the misadventures they have whilst inebriated, they have children, hold down good jobs and are in their 30's, 40's... Sad ..

Oh yes "a thing".
"Is this a thing now?"

Fucking irritating. I have unfollowed a lot of people, it's mostly other mums from school who have sent me friend requests or people I went to school with and haven't seen since.

I thought that the people who prefixed their dull eating and drinking activities with "cheeky" were the type who once heard somebody saying, "ooh, cheeky glass of wine, ooh", thought it was hilarious and decided that in order to become hilarious raconteurs themselves, they would adopt the same vocal tic and use it constantly.

It is enormously irritating. I like the suggestions about the cantankerous can of lager and arrogant gin and tonic. I raise you a didactic prosecco and a deluded babycham.

Does it matter. Why get uptight about trivial things ? I can't understand why anyone would let something like that bother them ?
If it does bother you perhaps a cheeky glass of wine is actually needed ! He he

So you've never once in your life complained about anything trivial? Or is it just that you don't agree with these particular gripes?

Yes sometimes I have a 'what's that about moment' in my head then forget it. Some of the replies are quite angry. I'd hate for something and nothing to make me feel that grumpy. Perhaps I'm too laid back !

Just to be different, I don't have Facebook but I do use it. (I get DC to look up the latest pics of DGS on it. Because, you know, Facebook is the invention of the Devil, but I reckon the DC are tough enough to handle it.

Grumbling is a national sport. Helps let off steam, so good for the blood pressure.

As for the blow-by-blow accounts of alcohol intake, it might be amusing to post a sympathetic message along with the contact details for AA. They block you? Sorted.

And breathe - what a day I've had, getting lost in the desert, but the dog and the ipad are safely home now, well-groomed and repaired respectively.
The sun's over the yardarm in the sandpit, wine o'clock, methinks! I'll see if the hubster will join me in a cheeky bottle of vino and some banter over a cheeky Nando's.

I will remember the cantankerous can of lager from this thread though .
