What is the point of them?

Really?

No you are in disgrace for your earlier anarchic outside the list antics.

Hah!

Pinot, somebody decided to make a thread comparing this thread's 'ageism' to racism. It didn't go down very well...

grovel · 21/10/2011 16:29

I think there might be a middle-aged person trying to contact us. Pointless listening to her really.

SuePurblybiltFromBitsofCorpses · 21/10/2011 16:29

Proud - fred about a fred. Ayeboo to think black people are pointless. To make the point that we're ageist and sexist.

I bought some cheap rip-off M&S versions of Fitflops yesteerday. That must mean I have special MAW status, surely?

FellatioNelson · 21/10/2011 16:30

Well, not cheap exactly, just cheaper.

SuePurblybiltFromBitsofCorpses · 21/10/2011 16:30

Are you buff yet Fellatio? Pert of sitting-nork?

FellatioNelson · 21/10/2011 16:30

Fuck it

TheVermiciousKnid · 21/10/2011 16:30

I still don't know what fitflops are. :(

FellatioNelson · 21/10/2011 16:31

See Pinot? I'm a lost cause. Grin

ConstanceTenchOfZombies · 21/10/2011 16:31

Oh gawd - I am middle aged but it's only just dawned on me, thanks Hully Angry

I only feel about 25 though so I suppose it doesn't really matter....

I have been opting for a pot of tea instead of coffee in Starbucks though Hmm

PinotScreechio · 21/10/2011 16:31

Verm you mixed me up with proudnscary then I think.

that'll be the MA

AnnetteProfit · 21/10/2011 16:32

i think this is rather sad.
we have enough shit telling us how pointless we are without us agreeing fgs

yes i have left sense of humour at the door

PinotScreechio · 21/10/2011 16:32

ahaha Fell

FellatioNelson · 21/10/2011 16:33

Buff? Unless that is an abreviation of Buffalo, then no, sadly not. Did work on the tan a bit today though. I'm trying to get all leathery just to make Hully happy. They don't seel slimline tonic here either, so I am going to get very very fat, what with all that gin I drink.

TheVermiciousKnid · 21/10/2011 16:33

Ah, sorry. Yes, I blame middle age. Or even the middle ages.

TheVermiciousKnid · 21/10/2011 16:33

Actually, I usually blame Thatcher. Could I do that in this case?

PinotScreechio · 21/10/2011 16:33

shurrup fishy

SuePurblybiltFromBitsofCorpses · 21/10/2011 16:35

slimline tonic is evil anyway. You're better off.

FellatioNelson · 21/10/2011 16:35

AnnetteProfit you are obviously an accountant with a name like that, and we all know that accountants are boring with no sense of humour. Come on girl, loosen up. See the funny side.

Proudnscary · 21/10/2011 16:36

Ohhhh thank you Sue. That's ridiculous times a million (the thread not the deletion of said thread...did this other thread have a list? Never mind let's not discuss the other thread or this thread might be deleted for mentioning the other thread)

PinotScreechio · 21/10/2011 16:36

Classic MA :-

Having a coffee in MaccyD's whilst the kids have a burger meal

OR WORSE

Having a Filet'o'fish

FellatioNelson · 21/10/2011 16:37

I used to love Filets o' fish when I was a kid. And I loved cabbage at school dinners. I am not normal.

ConstanceTenchOfZombies · 21/10/2011 16:38

How very dare you! Accountants are almost as exciting as actuaries I'll have you know

SuePurblybiltFromBitsofCorpses · 21/10/2011 16:39

I always have a coffee in McDs. I say always - I've been once in the last 18 months or so. I like places with cake.
