I hate

Has anyone met Fenton?

I find that disrespectful to their heritage I brought up Otto bilingual (biaural?)

Just out of the Dusche.

When was the last time you heard an Irish epithet? Are Irish people a marginalised group barred from business and politics?

“Pikey”gets thrown around pretty freely I heard that one a week ago in reference to the Irish Rugby team
“Paddies/Micks” pops up every now and again but yeah it’s not the 60s or even the 90s

But we aren’t talking about that kind of overt prejudice, I’m referring to ignorance. It’s an ignorance that echoes subjugation.

Calling your German breed of dog “Otto” is using a first name is logical and using a first name is what you call your friend not your subordinates.

Odd hill indeed. I partially agree but I think it’s done without malice by most people who just like the name. That said, that’s not an excuse to avoid changing a potentially racist cultural habit, so it’s worth examining.

I think some dog owners don’t consider dogs as inferior beings in the way that would make it insulting to give them a foreign human name; I do understand how it could be offensive: Mohammed is a good example, or perhaps Jehova.

The slight knee jerk reaction it provokes is interesting because it appears there is a line somewhere, but it’s unclear where.

There’s an old Jack Russell, cutting about Kentish Town with his equally old master. He’s called Kaiser.

I’m not sure everyone views dogs as inferior. :-)

Was gonna say the same! Every time I see one of those dogs I shout 'Colin!'

I'm offended on behalf of all chocolate milk drinks everwhere.

Milo != Chocolate Milk

Fight me, etc....

buying something on ebay, taking the Friday evening to ride down to pick it up and upon arrival being told he's checked it this afternoon as turns out it was broken. But of course he'd emailed me...5 minutes before I arrived. 'Sorry mate'.

Then riding home, finding out Richmond Park was locked because of the deer cull so had to go all the way around.

Left work in town at 6, got home at 8.30, with nothing but a pending refund. Then being too nice to give negative feedback.

First world problems, but toys were well and truly thrown out my pram.

The word 'schmear' referring to a paste/sauce etc. on a wanky plate of food

Dog owners

Nah, too much hair (and brains).

Not smeer?

My Jack Russell X was obsessed with his toys. They all had names and he would go and find the one you told him to find. He had a squeeky fugu (puffer fish) so I used Google to translate the phrase "where is fugu?" into Japanese and asked him in my best Japanese. He understood that too.

Sounds like he had a better offer. Or it sold for too little.

Don’t say that. Brings all the rage back

I knew of a guy who lived in central Newcastle who called his cat Shit Head. Basically he wanted everyone to be impressed that he was happy to call the cat in at night without first checking any 'sensitive' locals were passing within earshot.

Sorry, just feels odd that you don't check something is working before you've arranged collection.

Forin muck.

It is Horlicks or nothing.

Never had Horlicks till after I was 30. Missed fuck all. It is a hot drink with no point.

Photo is of them wearing it.

'Shrinkflation'! Seriously, what is the point of 20g packet of wheat crunchies?

People who pay at a counter then turn around to leave expecting there to be no-one behind them. Especially prevalent at petrol stations.

This…. Just go round the side of aisle, I was I shout in my head

People who invade your personal space, while you are at the counter.

Hey I’m still giving it a good 2 metres! Still not enough for someone to start walking backwards and spin around while opening a KitKat Chunky looking at their phone
