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!

On a local freebie site today Two Ikea Pong Chairs.
It tickled me.

Seen on a thread - 'perhaps my expectations are two high'

Hoping it was an Autocorrect, but you nevva no 😉

Maybe it’s just a faze

Two seems a very modest pile of expectations ..

Aftersun or mosquito bite relief?

Husband heard yesterday - my Arthur Ritis is playing up.

Funnywonder · 11/08/2025 09:09

This has surely been mentioned but it crops up everywhere.

’I would defiantly recommend this product.’

I don’t care what you think …🤣🤣

Pedant5corner · 11/08/2025 09:16

I saw a good typo yesterday. Someone was offering a failing cabinet.Smile

On my PC screen is a thumbnail from something called Daily Wonder, offering "Stunning Drone Views of Cap Ferret" in the South of France.

Sounds more like Yorkshire to me.

There is a Cap Ferret though, as well as the probably better known Cap Ferrat.
However I’m not going to ignore an excuse for doing an image search for ferrets in caps.Grin

I'm sure the images are of Cap Ferrat.

It's not Cap Ferret in any language I know of. It's Cap Ferrat in French and Occitan and Capo Ferrato in Italian

Off to ask AI for pictures of ferrets in caps.

Cattery · 11/08/2025 11:16

Oh the ferrets in caps, please 🙏🏻

Just seen a corker. The old lady might need an earring aid. Is that help to put her earrings in?

Actually, I could do with one of those.

You don't want to hear how I got one lobe piercing that's very fiddly because it's not quite straight all the way through.

Cattery · 11/08/2025 14:18

@Chersfrozenface Ooo I think one of my pierced ears may have that issue. One sleeper goes in fine and on the other ear it’s a struggle. Makes it very sore x

probably the instance you’ve seen was supposed to be Cap Ferrat but there really is a Cap Ferret near Bordeaux.

I expect it was the Mediterranean one, famous for being a hangout of the wealthy.

Perhaps Bordeaux should be twinned with Halifax! (Sadly, it's twinned with Bristol, for historical reasons.)

Can't believe this thread is almost full. Will there be a sequel?

Gonksmum · 11/08/2025 18:03

There may even be a sea quell ( if we're lucky!)
