OK, I know it's a really easy mistake to make. It's just that every time I read this - more and more frequently - my mind conjures something like this. Enjoy!

I spotted Weather spoons .

Does this mean icy cold ones for hot summers and comfortably warm ones for winter foods 🤔

My son told me that his mate is climbing Scaffold Pike this weekend

Tallisker · 12/07/2025 10:52

Well that would make it easier!

Cattery · 12/07/2025 10:53

That’s what I thought! 🤣 Some nice scaffolding to hold on to

Tallisker · 12/07/2025 10:56

And ladders 😁

There is currently a thread that repeatedly refers to a “patent decorator”

Cattery · 12/07/2025 13:13

Dear Lord. It’s getting worst and worst.

I watched that and thought WTF? Surely plummet is necessarily downwards?

Or perhaps he meant plumbet?

My son, when he was young, describing a particularly deep shade of red, said it was "pitch red"...I quite liked that

I like that one too - bit like the wine-dark sea.

Yes, although I've been unable to find any other similarities between my son and Homer

Homer Simpson maybe...

Is this supposed to be painter and decorator?

OMG ..!

GarlicStyle · 12/07/2025 17:49

Oh, dear. Loos(en)ing a wheel is more likely to shorten a life.

I may be being unfair. Perhaps the person draws the illustrations for patent applications.

I just saw this 😂 Can't be a typo.

@Butthechildrentheylovethebooks , it is litterally her life now.

His very brave to climb that! It will be very tiring. He'll probably need a 'lay-in' the next day!

They really must get their bowl movements checked out!

There is just a slither of hope (that there isn’t a snake on the loose?)

Vroomfondleswaistcoat · 13/07/2025 10:51

I saw the 'puncher wound' today and wondered if anyone had mentioned it yet...

It'd be satisfying if that meant the punched wounded the puncher ...
