Things you hate IV

I was slagging off air fryers on here yesterday stood typing at my sit/stand desk.

 

On the railway at Euston, if you were a scab then they wrote it on your locker for you. It didn't matter how many times they wiped it out, it was back again immediately.

They said in the driver's locker room upstairs, there were marked lockers like that going back to a strike in 1945 (I was working in the 1980s).

One locker was for the tea club. I forget how much the subscription was but it was for loose tea, sugar and milk purchase and supplies were housed in that locker. No scabs in the tea club of course. Make yer own.

 

Ban?

 

In my day, we didn't even have a dream of lockers. It was brown paper bags, uphill in the snow, both ways.

 

You might call know it better as a 'bureau.'

 

Can’t believe I’m going to say this on this forum, but… “less”

 

Nut allergies

 

Update?

 

You've got to wait until 2026 until the next 10th March that falls on a Tuesday. Be patient!

 

The craze for discount vouchers… why don’t you just sell your product for the cheapest price rather than having to play this game of sourcing codes on the net to use SUMMER10

 

Even worse, when you go on a website and then a popup comes up with a 'spin to win a discount' so they are trying to get you to sign up to their marketing lists in return for playing a game where you could win 5-15% discount etc.

I had this with buying some glasses online. They worked out cheaply, but only after using all the discounts/bogof codes etc. Why not just sell glasses and frames for a simple, low price? I actually gave up on one provider after going through the whole process of adding my prescription and choosing my frames, because it was too much of a faff to change my basket and then go back and put in discount codes again.

One thing you might find useful @Halfwayline is to just get a browser extension that automatically does the code checking for you. Coupon birds will search for all codes and then try them to find the best price whilst you're in your basket.

 

wow didn’t know that was a thing. Thanks for the heads up

 

Every 3 or so flights I take seem to have someone on board with a severe nut allergy. Absolutely fine, don’t hand out the free peanuts, but offer a replacement snack.

The massive increase makes me suspicious BA are using it as an excuse to save money.

 

There are browser extensions where they do the hard work for you and pop up with the latest code when you’re on the checkout page

 

Sorry @wfcmoog , my attention span is so bad I didn’t see your last paragraph

 

There are browser extensions which check for discount courses for you. You should try them out!

 

Browser extensions do this mate.

 

Do they work on Kindle?

 

#bekindle

 

What ****s me off are the ones that immediately pop up offering 10% off your first order, because they are pretty much on every website, so I go into auto pilot and automatically close them down without thinking, then when I invariably buy something 99% of the time I forget there was ever a discount.

 

You can get a thingy on your browser, like an add on, that will search for the best deals and put the codes in for you.

 

My kids can't have hummus at school because some kid might be allergic to sesame. If you're so deathly allergic to sesame that someone eating hummus in the same building as you could be fatal, you need to be taken out of the gene pool.

 

Why anyone would want to eat what looks like the local fox left on the doorstep of meister manor the other night I do not know. This chap has done you a favour.

Eating hummus means you are a mere step away from ordering smashed avocado on toast for breakfast rather than a full English as you should be duty bound to request.

 

Nonsense. Hummus is ambrosia. I would eat it with every meal if I could. You must be thinking of taramasalata. Vile stuff and as a Greek, I'm ashamed we invented it.

 

Avocados. They taste how I imagine a fatberg would taste if you bit into one. They do not taste like a food that we should eat.

Their name, incidentally, is a corruption of a mezoamerican word for 'balls' because they resemble a wrinkled scrotal sac.

 

I like both.

 

Absolutely.
Hummus = good
Tara...and avocado = awful.

 

They're all good.

Jeez, there are some picky eaters on here.

 

We should probably get a venn diagram going. I’m pro hummus and avo (mashed), but anti tara.

 

Can't believe I ever blocked you.

 

Do you whoppers not like guacamole then?

Baffling if true.

 

Nope. Disgusting.

 

And what about sit-stand desks?

 

Snowflake.

 

The sort who can’t bear fruit with cereal you mean ?
