Talking at The Valley to a couple of ex staff yesterday about when they were employed by the club and RM re wrote a section of the employees handbook on dress code. The section on female match day dress code was along the lines of skirts no shorter than 2" above the knee , no jeans torn or otherwise, no scoop or vest tops. The quote from a former member of staff (female) "Her ladyship rocks up in either spray on jeans or a skirt up her a5re and her t*ts out"
Leaving school after our first day back I neared home I spotted a guy with a dog at the top of my road, as he turned the corner. I distinctly heard the conversation that went "Watch out lady there's a bloody great dog coming around that corner, you mind yourself" then a voice I recognised saying "That'll probably be my husband, he would have just finished school with one of our Therapy dogs" As I turned the corner to see my wife smiling/laughing as this guy looking very embarrassed scuttled off with his Cocker Spaniel..
The increasing width of the trousers worn by female newsreaders on the BBC. It's as if they're having a competition to wear the most ridiculous trousers possible, made with five times more cloth than necessary, requiring the wearer to take four steps before the trousers even begin to move.
A few weeks ago I went to a HiFi show at Ascot. It was pretty much all of the things I could never afford but nice to see anyway, 50k turntables 80k speakers, amps the price of houses, really nice stuff. There was a guy there who's company sold 13 amp fuses that he admitted to me were in fact normal 13 amp fuses but he had cryogenically treated them, (stuck them in liquid nitrogen), polished the case and then put his label on. He then sold these for £30 a pop. Apparently its a thing, the fuse is the choke point in your system. I thought this was a bit steep for a fuse you can buy in Sainsburys for a about 10p although its structure might not be a refined as one that the guy was plugging.
So I wondered How much could you pay for a 13 A fuse, at which point I realised some people either have hearing like a bat, may be too much money, gullible or all three. Personally if fuse mattered that much to me I'd make do with a few strands of silver wire and take a chance and then I found these.
Have a look at this, I'd want to be able to at least see it;
My MiL loves a moan. We hate listening to the same old negative shit. But Mrs Idle carries out her filial duty by inviting the old battleaxe for dinner every other Saturday evening.
To make the evening a little more tolerable, tonight we are playing moaning grandma bingo. We put eight topics into a hat and draw four each. When she's moaned about all four of yours, shout 'HOUSE!'
Topics include: Mrs Idle's brother The weather turning colder Christmas The new shop layout in Waitrose

Topping up the olive oil (7 quid a bottle) that Mrs Idle insists on using, with sunflower oil (2 quid) when she's not looking. She hasn't noticed the difference yet and it's saving a bundle.
I got a little presentation from my online bank about how I'd spent my money this year. It told me I was in the top 5% of spenders at Wetherspoons. You can't buy class like that. Well you can, it's £2.55 a pint.

Great story, but sorry your reference to Mrs Idle made me think of this.
My Missus getting all irate when I get non/recycling bins mixed up, saying it’s doing our bit for the environment. Then getting all arsey because I’ve left her presents as delivered 🤷♂️😂
Stumbled across this recently and it made me wonder how many of us are proper charlton and own a real time train board. Didn't realise spurs liked a choo choo aswell.

"You gotz to do me a favour bruv... what do you mean no? I gotta get to Dartford...."
Yeah because they stop trains in extra places because you're an idiot.
There are about 150 railway request stops in the UK - alas none on the Bexleyheath line. Dilton Marsh is probably the closest to London.
The station is the subject of the poem 'Dilton Marsh Halt' by John Betjeman:[3]
(Perhaps if the guard recited this to our hapless passenger he'd get the picture).

Huh, research that I've carried out over many years would beg to differ!
They're chucking money about - how much did he ask for?!
