think my wife has got a niece called Moody CowKBslittlesis said:Being called Karen.
Like it’s supposed to be an insult.
It’s the name of one of my nieces who I absolutely love.
How on earth can I be insulted by that? 🤷♀️🤔🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣5 -

This reminds me of the time when one of my kids was at a school (we live in SW19) and they had a temporary teacher for the year who’d come from South Africa, so not necessarily au fait with local football allegiances or regional sensitivities. She thought it would be nice to teach the young school kids a great little song to impress their parents. It went something along the lines of ‘when the red, red, robin, goes bob, bob, bobbin along…’. Anyway, the link to the original post is one of the characters in Rainbow was played by a parent who knew I was a Charlton fan and he had to endure through gritted teeth his kids singing the song and me grinning at him as they did.Raith_C_Chattonell said:Rainbow unzipped.
My worst suspicions confirmed. 'Zippy mounted upon George, going at it hammer and tong'.

A lady contacted me via a Charlton fan, her daughters dog fear was so intense she’d been known to run into the road to get away from an approaching dog irrespective of the dog’s behaviour.We met her over a period of a year a during that time she would send updates via messages to me, sorting through photos today I found a selection and I narrowed it down to three to tell the story with the final message a tweet from her Dad amused me. 😂

It’s a label given to any white woman over the age of 20 who opens her mouth about something.

Me ….. did you just agree with me?
my wife…….. yep, I’m just off to the shops. Can you move those railway sleepers in the garden?
me…… in this heat and with my arthritis?
my wife…….. you love the sun and you’ve had your painkillers so stop moaning and I’ll see you in a bit. Love you 🤷♂️7 - Sponsored links:

Just starting reading Shane Warne's autobiography, so stuck it on Goodreads.
Enjoyed the first review describing him as a 'perineal troublemaker'.
Not wrong.

Popped into school today with Bowyer, as he was being fussed by some of children assigned individual TA's, a contractor decided despite all the signs to run through the corridor immediately applying the brakes as he saw Bow.
Bow stood up almost certainly watching over the children as the now ashen faced contractor was read the riot act by the staff for running, apparently "the last place he expected to see a German Shepherd being fussed was in a school" and was told you haven't been to St Georges before

So many people drinking gin.
For about 40 years it was a "mature" ladies drink, more often than not and very uncool.
Now many think they're as cool as £$%& drinking gin.
I was out Saturday and it was roughly 50/50 on people ordering pints or G&T and nothing else.

Sitting with a beer in the back garden earlier, enjoying the breeze. Mrs Idle had hung some washing on the line, and a particularly strong gust of wind caused the laundry to do a full on mexican wave. Wish I'd filmed it.

Just popped into school with Bowyer, his first venture out since an operation on his head to remove two lumps which will be tested for anything nasty.
Obviously the area has been shaved.........The amount of "You look after him in this sun" comments from people on route and staff.
In the 10+ years never once has someone said that to me!!

Today's Mirror compared the gigantic, temporary 8500 patron Party stand at Old Trafford to the Brian Moore end at Gillingham - which is apparently - akin to a flat packed shed from IKEA.
The Party stand is Europe's largest temporary seating area and gets laden with 600 tons of flesh and bone upon its matrix of scaffolding. It'll cost you £77 to sit in row 71 - bring your own binoculars!

I note that Joby Pool (32) was jailed yesterday for stealing 200,000 Creme Eggs.
I mean, what is the rationale? How do you dispose of 200,000 chocolate eggs? Perhaps he was thinking Brinks Mat and had a plan to melt them down and turn them into bars.6 -

That there is a team in the Swiss league called Ouchy. Well Stade-Lausanne Ouchy to give them their full title, but it still made me smile.2

Mrs Idle and I have fallen into the habit of having brunch on Friday at the local garden centre café. It's quite cheap, the quality is reasonable and they often give a sausage to our accompanying hound. I like to look around the other diners as we go in, just to ascertain whether, if it all kicked off, I'd be the last man standing. The café is largely populated by white-tops so generally the answer is yes, depending how handy the old bastard with the walking stick is. I am content and amused while this remains the case, but I know that one day the order will change and I'll be on the victim side of the line.I used to feel smug and inwardly mock the old crumblies, but I know that as time passes I will become one of them and be inwardly mocked by younger, taller, less wrinkled and more upright diners in my turn.10

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" 1
