I’m assuming we are all typing on a quirky keyboard?

Someone has started a thread quite upset because they can't bare their father-in-law. Sounds like a recipe for a broken marriage so it's probably for the best.

I saw that too. Am so tempted to reply! But don't want to be THAT person, so won't.
Mind you, if she was starkers every time he barged into her house he might get the message that he should ask before turning up.

Someone has taken umpage over a noisy dog 🐕

Oh, I like umpage, I think I'm going to use that 😅

...being watched like a hauk...

which is the Old English spelling of hawk. Even I think that is a bit pedantic.

Whosthetabbynow · 06/08/2026 17:16

Being watched like a hulk? 😂
