I hate

Oh nah. Nah nah nah.. Fuck that shit

My husband and I have been sharing an Aha earworm since he accidentally caught sight of the sheet music of Living Daylights 2 weeks ago. Just a glance of the name was enough to infect him.

Earworms a deux are the worst because you keep reinfecting each other.

Earworms certainly hated here, for some reason I have Booty Call by All Saints, haven't heard it anywhere, it's just there rubbing along nicely with my tinnitus. What a combination.

Don't go chasing waterfalls was an answer on pointless like a week ago, still bouncing round my head as we speak, interspersed with if you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough, not sure why, maybe someone mentioned Jackass or Knoxville or something.

I always find this photo helps cure me of a specific ear worm.

There used to be a website that you could use to get rid of ear worms. But it normally just replaced it with a different, often more annoying ear worm.

People who say "can I get .....?"
To a person who is going to get exactly what they've been asked to 'get'

It's just a normal expression by now. What do you say?

Depends a bit on the context but I'd probably say "Big Mac and fries, please". Anything on the front seems superfluous.

Great. Thanks. Now I’m going to be building this city from rock and roll for the next few hours. (was thinking of possible ways to escalate this without getting wormed: failed)

Ah, but that always makes me think of this...

You don't know ear worms until next door's 8 year old sings "Try Everything" on loop from dawn til dusk.

I won't give up, no I won't give in
Till I reach the end and then I'll start again

Kill. Me. Now.

🤷🏻‍♂️ I'd like a pint of ......
Or can I have......
But then again I'm getting old.....

I really don’t understand this one. Get is a synonym for acquire / obtain / receive. Wtf is wrong with using it in the context of ordering something?

"Please may I have.....?"
Accept no substitutes.

We want the finest wines available to humanity. We want them here, and we want them now.

Two gins, two ciders, ice in the ciders. Etc.

Music stands. Spindly, spiky, top-heavy archaic devices.

God that takes me back! Haven't used one in about 25 years but yeah, keeling over at awkward moments, trapping fingers in the folding and unfolding... hadn't thought about that in a long time.

Shits setting gorse fires in the NI hills. They need a boot up the arse and years of mandatory service digging firebreaks if you ask me 😠

Fire nr3 this week, and of course set late in the day and the fire brigade can't go up at night.

They also have to beat the fires out cos you can't just roll out a hose connected to a hydrant as there are none.

as there are none.

Rather shortsighted of the devolved Parliament.

😁

I'm not sure any forest or hill in the UK has them? A colleague of mine in Wales had fires nearby too...

We do have helicopters capable of dumping water and of course the Often Spotted PSNI helicopter, best heard at 2200 when trying to sleep.

I did “Can I get?” Years ago on this thread. It’s virtually “give me” which is essentially robbery.

Good morning how can I help you?
-yeah. can I get

You aren’t getting it, the person serving you along with their colleagues are getting it. You are receiving it. Don’t discount their work, they don’t really want to do this job of getting you stuff but it’s what’s available right now. Treat them with courtesy and dignify your request.

Anyway I came to moan about plastic grass on people’s gardens.
Just go the whole hog and burn a tractor tyre then spray the area with Agent Orange you fucking terrorist cunts.

100% with you on plastic grass. My cunt brother in law thinks it’s something to boast about.

On a loosely related theme:

Fucking ‘green laners’ round us who spend their weekends revving 20 year old modified Land Rovers up and down old byways as a ‘hobby’.

I explained to one yesterday that packhorse bridges from the 1700s weren’t designed for his vehicle and he told me he had public right of way, totally missing my point. No chance of winning an argument with someone that entitled so you do have to resort to swearing at them.
