[Rules p.1] Things that annoy you guys. 100 percent. Not gonna lie

Surely we all call it the "Post savoury meal snack".

When I went to use the eBay 15% off anything code but it expired at 20.00 rather than midnight like I thought.

I assumed midnight as well but the email is pretty clear it’s until 8pm

You could make an American account and get the 15% discount until 2am if that helps?

"Do you want dessert?"
"Sure thing!"

"How about some pudding?"
"Let's go for it!"

"What do you want for afters?"
"That's a deliberately weird way to say it but I'll let it slide."

"What are you having for your sweet?"
"What?"
"Your sweet course, what are you having?
"What have you done to this meal and this evening..?"

"I'm going to have something to cleanse my pallet"

What was the actual strawberry floating point of asking me?

Maybe they want to know what not to do?
Just do exactly the opposite of whatever you suggest and you're onto a winner .

That's the usual rule. This was an extraordinary situation where I was actually right about something.

Well no wonder they asked someone else. Asking you in the first place was an act of charity more than anything, so you didn't feel left out.

All this ‘box set’ bollocks on streaming services advertising.
It’s not a strawberry floating box set because it’s not in a strawberry floating box so won’t sit on your strawberry floating shelf.
It’s a streamed strawberry floating t.v. series F.F.S., so stop strawberry floating advertising something intangible as something tangible.
Not that I particularly desire a load of worthless plastic sat on a shelf/in a drawer, it just pisses me off that they’re calling it that.

Looks like someone's favourite box set isn't available on sky at the moment

I'm currently watching boxsets, proper boxsets too as in actual boxes with discs inside.

Watching The Flash season 1 at the moment, very good it is too.

I think they call them seasons not series now.

A series is comprised of seasons.

A box set on a streaming service usually refers to a season.

An orbital sander?

That bloody George Ezra song that seems to be everywhere at the moment, I don't understand how such a boring nonsensical pile of shite like that can be so popular.

Can't stand that song, though his debut track a couple of years ago was even worse.

My kids are always putting George Ezra songs on to play at home and I have to admit that whilst I wasn't keen on them at first I have grown to quite like them now.

are you talking about the Shotgun one? its dire
