It's good.
I like to think of Richard Osman spending his days in a very long bathtub shouting out facile teatime TV quiz ideas to his very own Lynne in the next room.
'Richard Osman's Chocolate Jenga!'
'Richard Osman's Trivia Sandpit!'
'Favourite Colour Dartboard with Richard Osman!'
He's annoying but House of Games is quite a good quiz show.
So I went to work today knowing my phone was coming at some point. Even though it was a couple mile away from my house, I figured I'd rather not sit around in case I got a 4pm delivery slot.
I get to work at 10am and immediately have to get a lift back to mine because it's being delivered at 10:30. :moop: The phone is pink (peach, if we're generous). :moop:
Pink is cool tho
I like House of Games. It always feels very awkward but I like the questions.
I used to work with someone like you, someone completely without anecdotes. He'd turn up in the morning and say shit like "I went into the shop this morning to get some orange Lucozade, but they didn't have any so I've had to get original Lucozade, what's that all about?" before producing a bottle of Lucozade from his pocket and sitting down.Quote:

VE Day is not 'the end of the war'.
Get a brain morans.
It's better than people that think D-Day was. Atleast it was an end to a bit of the war.
Hopefully we can roll VJ Day into a more general anti-Asian occasion this year.
Absolutely convinced myself I'd accidentally chucked a full pack of cigarettes away when I was taking the bins out. To the point I walked to the only shop that's open and found out there's been a 9PM curvew this whole lockdown and I just haven't left my house.
So I'm out of fags for the night and start writing this post, and just below the monitor is an unwrapped pack of Lucky Strikes.
WHAT A DRAMATIC POST.

We'll meet again.
Lob a pumpkin at them.Quote:

Good round tho, shall share with you lot when it finally finishes.xx
Same housemate who laughs and says shit like "ahah, that's so random :D" when I use a timer to know when to plunge my cafetiere, and use kitchen scales to weigh the amount of coffee just said "ahh I'm so bad at things like judging when coffee is ready :( thing it's ready yet, Igor?" after barely brewing it a minute. I said "REAP WHAT YOU FUCKING SOW, and poured it over her headahh probably give it another couple of minutes".

Nah delivery was well worth my time.
That post from John is his greatest ever gift to this forum, however, we must all respect it's power and fear we ever find ourselves on the receiving end of it.
RIP Igor.
igor's post was a perfect example of what this thread is about.
I enjoyed Igor's post.
I also didn't mind Phonics' but then I don't think I'd find anything as dull and pointless as Shindig's posts.
It's funny when applied to Phonics because the reason he posted that non story is that it's definitely the most interesting thing that happened to him that day. It's the same reason Shinners posts those inane tracts about the dieting bird moving two seats closer to the vegan so oh my God what recipes must he listen to now.Quote:

I've got heartburn from drinking too much lemon and lime diet sprite.
No-one liked my B&Q farting anecdote the other day but it won't deter me from regaling you all with more shit anecdotes.
Not particularly, although at least ten more interesting things happened to me yesterday than thinking I didn't have any cigarettes then realising I actually did have some cigarettes.Quote:

Listen, lads, let's not get overly meta now and scare people from posting, I'll glaze over a thousand Shindig posts if I have to to protect this gaff under current circumstances. Just keep calm and call Giggles a cunt.
If history of this place has taught me anything, my posts don't get glazed over. The place just breaks and my post-count gets culled.
Fuck off you swarthy Channel Tunnel nostrilled turbowhopper.Quote:

Anyway, it got stuck to my thigh, I had to have a hot shower to get it off and now I have frost bite.Quote:

Going to have to take it to a framing shop and provide the frame, shirt and ask them to do it. :moop:
Texans traded the fucking guy last month too, which makes it all the more annoying. :(
I prefer boring anecdote Shindig to following me around and calling me a cunt Shindig, ftr. Whisper it, but I even quite liked the anecdote.
My fave cigarette story was when my dad in a rushed pitstop from delivering parcels came out the shop, popped his stamped letter into his jacket pocket and posted his 20 L&B silver into the letterbox. Plus he didn't post it online, cus it was 1999.
He would find something to demean a person no matter the situation or subject. It's the only joy he gets from here, pretending he's better.Quote:

I just got in a row with a lad (vernal) because he asked why I was wearing a mask while I was picking up my shopping. That’s the sum total of my excitement to tell for the day.
A cunt is useful, unlike me, you rag head paedo.Quote:

I get it, I came to terms with it a while back and just call him a cunt when he's being one. Feels easier.
