When the penny drops about dumb things that you should have known!

[malificent7]

For ages I thought there was a poster called Tia. I always used to think it was a bit weird that they would sign their name....not very anonymous. Now I realise it means thanks in advance.
I am 45.

Well I’m 66 and I didn’t know that until now 😂😂

It's on the streaming sites often. It seems to vary from mini series to miniseries, I read it as min-eye-sir-ees just didnt connect it at all.

Except in the story the bears all go off for a walk because all of their porridge is too hot, so that doesn't really make sense..

OMG! I always pictured a little piggy with a wicker basket skipping off to pick up some bits! 😂

Me too!! I was probably in my 30s when I realised my mistake!

OMG!!! Penny only just dropped!! 😂

It does mean bear but it is referring to the northernmost constellation , the bear constellation in the sky, not the bears on the ground ….. I really wish it did though : )

Electric cars don't have a gear box which is why they are automatic. The battery gives constant power so no gears needed

It will be at least the 5th one and HQ have made it clear they don't care. They won't even acknowledge it's a issue despite loads of examples of threads that are incomprehensible

I did this exact thing in Wales. I thought all roads led to Gwysanthau. I think it means services...🙈

About what? You haven't quoted anyone.

I thought Beirut was just a slang term for a rough area, until I found out it's an actual place 🙈

I don't know where the difference between lament and lamentable comes from. Apparently very important to serious actors.

😂🤣😂. Maybe you should have said something, it’s not really daft if you, others may read it that way too, he would probably be mortified.

I thought ursa meant bear. Arctus means pole?

Many people think there's an annual music festival in Beirut, rather than Bayreuth and every year hundreds of disappointed motor racing fans end up in Nuremberg while looking for the Nürburgring.

😂😆😊😆😂

Oh. My. Gawd.

Lament is a verb. Lamentable is an adjective describing something that you might be lamenting about.

Don't get your actor point.

What???!!!!

Ursa is Latin, arktos is Greek. Both mean bear.

Arktos means all of the following: bear, pole star, and the constellations now known as Ursa.

@EarringsandLipstick ..oh c'mon?
when i was little my ma proli said "the stars came out at night" I guess i never even questioned that.
when they told me i was gullible-i believed that too..needy see state of my life.
when you know-you know.thats how it works.

Me too!

Only at Christmas when I was whinging I couldn’t fit the tall wine glasses in the dishwasher did someone on YouTube have a video where you have a plastic clip either side of the top tray to lower it down. I went with dh to investigate and lo and behold ours does! Only a dishwasher for 20 some years 🤦‍♀️
