    You must have been in a right estate. A shock, absorber like that.
    Clutching at straws but do you know anyone with an axle to grind ?

    Facebook Marketplace.
    I've listed an item for free that is very much in demand for young families. Many messages of which I get back to quickly, then nothing for days.
    Promised it to one person who then came up with excuses why they couldn't pick it up, then had a nice lady who wanted it for her kids and was the first "normal" I'd dealt with.
    Told everyone else it was gone and she picked it up within the hour.

    Where are all the "normals" these days?

    Designer outlets. A new one on me. Dragged to one with the kids. The idea being seemingly that clothes and shoes which are originally priced at 5 times what they should be, have 30% off and suddenly every chav in existence is desperate to buy some of these wares from a mock old timey village location.

    This was Mcarthur Park in the Midlands.

    I've been to Bicester before but only for breakfast. Place is sickening.

    My wife suggested we go to Bicester Village recently, "it looks nice" she said having seen an ad pop up on her phone. I explained that the sole purpose of Bicester Village was to extort vast amounts of money from tourists.

    I actually bought a hoodie for 35 quid, which I thought was quite reasonable

    Flipping through all the channels on the TV and when you find something that looks interesting there is a bunch of adverts . So on you scroll to something else for example "Alan Titchmarsh binge-a-thon" and guess what ! Adverts . This seems to work every time.

    I've no idea. Maybe a chance for plebs to spend outside their means to get a taste of what they think it is to buy luxury tat.

    Shaving Foam cans that leave indelible rusty ring marks wherever you leave them in the bathroom. Pain in the arse and so difficult to scrub off.

    I reckon I might invent some little coaster things on rubber feet and sell it as a shaving cream stand. I'd buy one.

    You just invested a coaster. Move some from the living room.

    Also, the little bit of post cum dribble that comes out when you have finished. No matter how much you wipe the nozzle, it ejaculates another load as soon as you put the lid on.

    My wife's shaving gel can in the shower sits on a Pringles lid to avoid this very problem.

    I'm glad to hear this is a very real problem for others. I'd never heard it mentioned by anyone.

    Pringles lid is a fine idea. I should order 5000 drop shipped off Ali Baba in different colours and flog em at the ideal home show as a radical new bathroom convenience invention for only £14.99 each.

    Write "Balenciaga" on them, set up a stall in the Bicester Village car park and knock them out for 10 times that.

    Most posts on social media are only a POV.

    When you have a nap that is too short to feel refreshed, but long enough to make you feel asleep.
