Small victory - I fixed the split extension hose on our Dyson for a tenner on a non-original part instead of £30 for a Dyson one. Dyson's been a great advocate of the UK long before Brexit when he opened a manufacturing base in Malaysia and shut his Wiltshire factory in 2002, then shifting the HQ to Singapore in 2019. Way to back UK industry Sir James.

Brass Neck | 3979 comments The only bollocks & tripe here is that of our wonderful puppet government mercilessly exposed. Hilarious and chilling in equal measure, the ever-reliable Marina Hyde hoists Cummings & Bozza's anti-plan on its own petard;

Helen The Melon | 3419 comments I've only just come across this YouTube channel: Bad Lip Reading. They have some extremely silly but genius videos:-

Royal Wedding - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SKV6h_5...

Apple Product Launch - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ArjUUDh...

Apologies if this has been posted before. Old "Searchy" is not performing as it should be so I couldn't check.

Me too, Val. I thought they were hilarious. Random, but hilarious. 😀

suzysunshine7 | 16038 comments I tend to do quite a bit of Lip Reading myself - and I couldn't distinguish anything different on almost all of those hilarious interpretations of what they were actually saying either?!! - LOL!!! ;o>

Sera69 | 1921 comments Word of the day, and utterly new to me...

...I had a near-conniption while reading...

conniption
/kəˈnɪpʃ(ə)n/
noun INFORMAL•NORTH AMERICAN
a fit of rage or hysterics.
"his client was having conniptions on the phone"

I shall be using "you'll have conniptions" and variations as often as possible from henceforth

suzysunshine7 | 16038 comments There was a generation of elderly Aunts in my extended family who used to get together and talk in rather loud whispers about ... "Women's things that earnest little Ears should not be listening to!" ... which surely must have referred to me because I so vividly remember them keeping on saying this! - LOL!!! ;o>

They often used to talk of "hot flushes" and having "an attack of the vapours" ... and for far too many years I always thought that what they must be talking about was having Diarrhoea and bad bouts of Wind!!! ;oO

"I shall be using "you'll have conniptions" and variations as often as possible from henceforth" - is nips a suitable contraction?
I've heard of it before but usually with the word fit(s) appended - plenty of songs and even band named thus.

Helen The Melon | 3419 comments And yet more time wasting on YouTube meant that I came across this channel the other week - Foil, Arms & Hog comedy trio from Ireland. Thought I'd be generous and share it with you all. Some of their sketches are rather amusing: -

Telling your family you're vegan - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HFC0vUh...

Irish farmer vs. Universal Music - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XkHXkRh...

Millennials in the future - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KAR43gw...

suzysunshine7 | 16038 comments I had to Google them, Sussex ;o>

OFC apparently means ... 'of course'

AFK I know because it once featured in an Episode of 'The Big Bang Theory' and is Gamer's Slang for ... 'away from keyboard'

Brass Neck | 3979 comments Whilst I would never buy one, they're almost certainly from China, may not match the quality of the image and at £22 plus postage will incur import taxes and a post office handling charge (enough caveats?) these look quite original?

Brass Neck | 3979 comments Is that a step up or down from a bus shelter?


message 2685: by Craig White (new)

..... or Jenrick - mainly entitled/incompetent science-ignoring Tory tossers who're mishandling the whole show mahoosively while bunging multi-million/billion contracts to failing private contractors without any Parliamentary oversight.

Anyway what's Sir Alec got to do with it?

They should do a t shirt with that image on it for NHS charity. I'd buy and wear it.
