For example:
Re weightloss. "When you stop slimming World/ calorie counting/ low carb you will put the weight bk on."
No shit...the point of dieting is to loose/ maintain wright! Any more?!

The thong that a very overweight lady wore on a Spanish beach.
I was in awe of her confidence.

I'm surprised that anyone wore a thong past 2003

@MiddleClassProblem you’ll be sorry u asked … !

As a young’un on work experience I saw a bog brush up the bottom of a chap with learning difficulties 🥲 self inserted - not good ..

And some years later I went to use a bog brush in a posh conference centre,

The loo was a Victorian heavily tiled ancient loo with huge wooden seat and an ornate ceramic bog brush …

I lifted the bog brush and attached to the brush was like a solid lump that looked like one of those chocolate stirrer lumps you get to make hot chocolate

The poo lump was so large, and heavy and perfectly formed to the shape of this very old and ornate porcelain bog brush holder

For some reason it was so ugly and awful I actually had like a dissociative panic attack
!!!!

Can’t use or go near them since 😮

Oh my! Although I think that would put me off hot chocolate 🤣

That not everyone can afford to 'just go private'.

Serious one - that not everyone has emergency savings, or savings of any kind.
The lack of awareness of poverty is shocking and dont get me started on the deserving v undeserving poor posts Angry

Loving the typo!

But otherwise....that not everybody does things the same way e.g. I redecorate the living room every six months....i thought everybody does! Errr....no they don't.

Best typo ever!
This has to be one for classics, surely!?

SummerHouse · 26/01/2022 17:36

I haven't worn a thong since I snapped and farted.

Thongs that I find in the back of my drawer that fitted me ten years ago but are now inexplicably teeny.
