Awake and up all night

Crutch (formerly Minger) has a chair that rises to tip you out. Actually he announced he has just bought a new one!!! Maybe that's another thing the fabulous Haley who sorts everything has sorted. We all need a Haley!

Anyway, once you are tipped, it stays up in the air. I found it very disconcerting! It just looks weird and very wrong.

Don't think his comes with the 'extra services'.

Cheers

Our recliner is bog standard and doesn't have the tipping out option xxx

I am with you on a tipped armchair looking weird! One advert, for a different company, has one of these things in the kitchen!

 crazed. Not good in the kitchen xxx

I keep refering to 'old dears' and then realise some may well be younger than me!

Thank goodness for those at craft group who can give me 30 years! Err .. yeah I had to double check but yes some are 30 years older than me.

When I was a child, grown ups looked like grown ups and grannies and granddad's were in a visually identifiable style club.

For some time now, 4 yr old girls have dressed the same as their mothers and ...  well a pal my age, who can't afford and doesn't wish to retire, wears high stilettos or killer boots to work, with a riot of patterns and colour in her outfits and every other week her hair changes from blue, pink, purple, etc and don't forget her enormous array of huge and dazzlingly colourful specs.

For me, it's people who pronounce the letter 'H' as 'haich'. But when I moved to Ireland, I found a lot more unusual pronounciation.

I find the use of US English in UK contexts -  again with broadcasters - such as the supremely ugly word 'gotten', sufficient provocation to turn the radio off.

Same here. I look knackered (reason OH's care) but refuse point blank to act my age.

Girls, just had some brilliant news. Eddie just posted and said he's recovering from his latest infection. He'll lose some kidney function but docs will try their best with meds etc. Ed says rehabilitation is top of the list now. Phew, I'll sleep better tonight! xxx

Delighted to hear the news!

Aitch. ✓

Gill, I was the same about 'gotten' and thought it was a yankism but it's actually old English and that's where they got it from. Pilgrim Fathers probably.

It's derived from forgotten but we just dropped bits.

Still irritating though xxx

WAHOO! YAY! Go Eddie!

Cheers
