PintofSquash, I think that site might be satire. Check out the front page, with headlines like "Cute! Man Who Looks Like Rotting Carcass Thinks He Has Superior Genes" (about Steve Bannon), or "Trump, Russia Dispel Collusion Rumours, In Carefully Crafted Joint Statement".

So... I was in Glasgow yesterday and you'll never guess where we ate..

The butterfly and the pig!!

It was seriously wanky. And overpriced 😱😱 my sister had looked on their website at the menu and the process we paid were several pounds dearer than what's on the website !😠

I had to resurrect the thread to share the email I just got from Ugg.

Makes me want to burn my MN-approved Wilcoxes.

True sheepskin wankery

'live and breathe the spirit of California', what, as opposed to living and breathing the spirit of perjury, which is what the Deckers Corp, owner of the Ugg 'Australia' brand did when they outright lied in court and stole the name Ugg?
They pretend to be Australian, they lie about being the originator of the name... Not a company I will ever have anything to do with, liars and thieves.

The phrase 'in situ'

mainlywingingit · 24/04/2017 22:42

The phrase "my go to"

Arghhh tossers!

"My go to salad"

"My go to cowhide trainers"

Fuck off!

There is a bar near me that looks like a boiler showroom, you have to stand and "queue" to be let in, even when it's empty inside.

Their signature cocktail is named after the local hospital and is served in a sharps container with a syringe of red liquid (does taste pretty good though)

Almost ultimate wankiness? Definitely beaten by that menu and the balloon popping though...

From a fucking rice cake packet, of all things.

I can't believe wankery in York has been mentioned and no one has mentioned the star Inn the city.

It serves bread in a flat cap ffs.

Just stumbled on this thread again after reading it ages ago, and I must confess that after all this time I am still chuckling over wanktastic chutney

I saw a job at subway once for a sandwich artist, turns out that's what they call the people that serve you

KingLooieCatz · 05/09/2018 15:37

My brother was so proud when he told his new backpack came with a hydration system. I asked how that was different from a bottle of water. Not a lot different it turns out. He loves a bit of wankery, my brother, god bless him.

DumbleDork · 14/09/2018 17:35

My biggest piss boiler is when people refer to drinks made with semi skimmed milk as “skinny”

Gives me the rage 😡😡

permanentlyexhaustedpigeon · 12/10/2018 14:20

Not half as good as the burst balloon, but Alcotraz - £30 odd for an hour and you bring your own booze??

DisrespectfulAdultFemale · 17/10/2018 16:19

The butterfly and the pig!!

I took a look at their window. Wanky and twee.

DisrespectfulAdultFemale · 17/10/2018 17:03

Window? Menu! Gah. I must have been overwhelmed by their wankiness.

Joanne721 · 21/10/2018 23:46

self service checkouts=wank

HarrySnotter · 22/10/2018 09:41

I'm going to Glasgow tomorrow. I will seek out the Butterfly and Pig and experience this wankiness first hand. I shall report back ...

skybluee · 19/07/2019 15:13

I've been somewhere where they served the cocktails in suitcases and briefcases! As in, a briefcase with a straw poking out of it. Here's an example of what it was like, lol.
