Making shit puns. In our household, we have a penchant for giving items a nickname.

The two teles are named "Stevie the TV" and "Elle the tele", my contribution is naming the shoe rack, Jacques (didn't know whether to post this in the politics thread!)
We do something similar. We have a macerator toilet in the utility room downstairs and we call it the TARDIS, because it sounds like something taking off when you flush (really DOES sound a bit like the TARDIS)

Call the washing machine Geraldine, because when it goes on spin, it sounds like it keeps whispering "Geraldine, Geraldine." We call the ghost (we think we may have one, because stuff keeps getting moved) Ruth..

Because my step daughter has wild hair and our cockapoo, Noodles, has similarly wild hair too, I call them the Noodle Twins.

I call my missus Wobble, because she keeps changing her mind all the time, and as the three of them (2 step daughters and my missus) are so heavy footed and completely without grace, I call them Stompy 1, Stompy 2 and Stompy 3.

The car is called Doris.

The two dogs I call The Nuppets, which is a cross between numpties and Muppets.

And most stupidly, as we have one bathroom much longer than the other bathroom, we call the smaller one, the bathroom and the larger one, the baaaaathroom. 🤷

Oh and I call the neighbour, Mike, The Balaclava Serial Killer, just because one day, walking down our garden path, on a very warm day, I could see into his kitchen and he was eating chips with a balaclava on.

The other side I call Wanky Wayne, because he's a Wolves supporter.


Felt good to get all that off my chest. 😁

To be fair, someone eating chips in their kitchen while wearing a balaclava is most probably a bit of a psycho.

Yup.

He has a dog and only talks to it using just one word every time. Never talks to it in short sentences. Always just one word.

"No, here, in, down, yes". No "good boy" or "wanna go for a walk" etc.

We have been here a year now and never spoken to the bloke. If he sees us, he goes back into his house.

Very odd individual.

Also has all his windows wide open all the time, even in freezing temperatures. Every window in the house.

The balaclava thing did unnerve me a little.

If suddenly I haven't posted on here for weeks, can someone ring Kent police and ask them to dig up our patio, please.

If I could get the money in lieu of you paying your therapist, that would be great!

If so, we're eating good tonight!

If I could give you a like I would but the button doesn't work when above the adverts so I'll give you a 👍👏instead!
Nick if you're watching this can you sort it, also I've been getting asked to accept cookies quite constantly,why is this I've accepted several times now, like maybe a week apart?
Ironically, this should be in the "things that annoy you" thread!

one of the reasons i don’t mind a short flight or a train journey, i mean like a few hours.

what a delightful excuse to just chill out and do whatever the fuck you want

This is why I commute by train even though it's more expensive and takes longer door to door.

Also gives the opportunity for a quiet pint after work. Bliss.

When the bloke who does car repairs on the drive opposite mine has no business as I can get a nice sleep in the day without hearing his noise.

My dog Lola. I genuinely can have the worst things going on in life and she is the most affectionate thing and a proper velcro dog.

I didn't feel as attached to her until my boy dog had to be put to sleep at 20 months, but she's also become more dependent/attached to me since. Hard to explain, but she is one of the most important things in my life.

She’s a beauty mate.

Taking my lad up the city.
He loves it, and I think loves the time we get together* and meeting up with some of my Cov friends.
I think also likes that I’m a bit laissez faire about his swearing…”dad, what happens in the CBS stays in the CBS”.

*he really enjoyed the Swansea game. 8 hours in a car, just to watch us play horrendously.
My lad is the same. He's 18 but his obsession on all things CCFC is quite staggering. He loves games, especially away games and was gutted when we had to cancel Leeds due to me having Covid. We're going up to Preston on Saturday and yeah, I love it too, but I do this all for him. He's been going since he was 3/4 and I even relented and we had a ST for 3/4 of he Sixfields season.

Whatever the result he is upbeat. Walking out of the stadium after Sheffield Wednesday, he was still telling me how many points we were off the play-offs. Quite refreshing considering the hissy fits thrown by grown men as we left the CBS.

I’m afraid my lad is already less positive coming out of games…I blame his dad!

This seasons Blaze team, got some fight in them. Beating the Steelers is a perfect way to end the weekend.
I have zip interest in 'hockey', but my mate and his missus who live the other side of Banbury have recently taken to travelling up and supporting the Blaze, and rave about it, so I guess they're doing something right.

Watching Mortimer and Whitehouse gone Fishing. A joy to watch and makes me want to try other types of angling rather than just carping
Gave up carping a couple of years ago. Got pretty bored waiting for the bite alarm to go. At the other end of the scale some commercials are just too full of fish. A lake near Bicester I was reeling in a 5lb into the net and 2 others swam in to join him.
I now fish with a telescopic whip on my local canal using a waggler. Chat to passing dog walkers and cups of tea from nearby boat dwellers.
Its a much more involved and sociable experience never knowing what you might catch next.
