Does midnight or noon occur at any time other than 12? Seems odd to prefix midnight with the number, hmmm.”

... or possibly it's that "midnight" or "noon" are suffixes applied to 12, in order to aid the distinction.

The crisp packet colours got me again with Sainsbury's and Walkers not 'in sync'

Must have a brain-freeze when I'm in Sainsbury's

Ended up with Salt and Vinegar again instead of Cheese and Onion

It could be worse. I suffer from complete brain failure when buying cling film or foil! I never buy the right one :/

The way some presenters of Top Of The Pops (the 1982 eps they're showing on BBC Four) presenters call them "Depeshay Mode".

Ticketmaster print-at-home tickets that have the ticket taking up the top quarter of a sheet of A4 and the other three-quarters of the page consists of full-colour adverts that I have to print out using my bloody ink.

So my options are pay a fiver a pop to have them sent out by 97th Class post; pay a fiver a pop to have them sat in the box office for collection or pay about twenty quid a pop to make my own using the most expensive substance on earth... printer ink.

Have you tried taking a screen snip of the relevant portion of your ticket and then just printing that out instead?

That's what I wanted to do but the 'Present this entire page at the event' at the top makes me wonder if they would get arsey on the door and not let me in.

I realise that is unlikely but the threat of missing out on the gig and chucking £38 down the drain makes it a risk not worth taking.

Why not just make it black and white then to save on the colour ink

When your reverse really slowly out of a blind parking space, watching you don't clip either car to the side of you or drive in to another car passing by, and a pedestrian walks right behind your slowly moving car.
There are only so many directions I can look at the same time & you appearing behind me because you couldn't pause for 3 seconds is enough to give me a heart attack!

Fashion articles about dress shapes.
I'm a pear shape and if they had their way I'd be wearing a potato sack.
Supposed to wear A Line skirts only, short cardigans and ruffles.
I guess I'm a freakazoid who should hide my thighs away.

The long cardigans I wear make me look chunky (apparently), and god forbid if you want to wear a tight skirt.

I'm a slim 5 foot 9 pear shaped woman - they do exist. Why are they so intent on us hiding everything - especially the hips.

What a load of old tosh

As well as starting sentences with So ...... It really annoys me when people add extra o's to the word.

Someone mentioned this 'so' business on this thread a couple of months ago. Until then, I hadn't noticed it, but it's driving me mad now, every time I hear it.

More and more people are doing it. Why?

More and more people are not doing it.

People have always done it, you've just decided it annoys you after reading it on this thread.

Yes. Exactly. There are some things in life it is better not to have brought to one's attention. But it has been, and it annoys me!

That said, I am easily annoyed.

But the one at night is before noon or the middle of the day so why wouldnt saying 12am (ie, ante meridian I believe) be fine

When I was a kid in the late 80s I got a massive book about the 20th Century for Christmas as a present. Obviously it only went to 1989!! Even as a kid I thought it was a bit previous. Still got the book but it's annoying it's missing a whole decade!
