Alan Partridge (also popularity of Miranda, British Bake Off and the like. Most TV progs actually)


Candy Crush.


Golf. Just why?


YSL Touche eclat and Bobbi Brown's shimmer brick. Utterly useless products that everyone raves about.


Hair straighteners. I have boring straight hair. One of my friends has pretty much the same 'style' of hair as me. She offered to 'straighten' my hair whilst I was round at hers getting ready to go out. Mystified. I just don't 'get' this craze at all. Esp if your hair is not remotely curly.


Modern jazz.


Those Meerkats.


Cannabis.


Orla Kiely/ Cath Kidston stuff faux twee/vintage.


Body piercing.


Birkenstocks.


Bacon on a burger.


"Chick" Lit. Esp the phrase itself. Ugh.


Lists (thank you Jah) ;-)

We used to drink a particular cough mixture by the bottle. That was after I tried acid.

Well, let's see. One night, when Mummy and Daddy were very much d̶r̶u̶n̶k̶ in love, Daddy put his thingy in Mummy's front bottom and, er, now let me just think..

Not toasters, unless they come in the form of a pop-up event, cafe etc.

Pibe... no audio at work... but the video alone is pretty cringeworthy.


I would actually nominate Range Rovers - particularly pimped-out ones sporting after market body kits and badges such as "Overfinch". Just horrible, horrible things for people devoid of taste.

      Bees nest advice needed

      By Bumpkin · Posted

      Thanks all - really helpful - I'd mooted putting a hole in the new shed floor with my partner, but not sure yet if that will work.  See picture of nest now that shed has gone (well disguised..).  Might have to do the watering method much as I'd like to keep them

      Bees nest advice needed

      You could try leaving a gap  in the new shed floor until the bees leave their nest  at the end of the summer (assuming that's what they do? Mine seemed to)  No idea if that's feasible!

      Bees nest advice needed

      By Nigello · Posted

      This from a bumble bee expert I know:  …try not to disturb it if possible. If it's actually underground, rather than directly under the old shed floor, they might survive as long as they can still get access. But if they were directly under the floor they're probably doomed, sadly. He also says they're most likely to be Bombus terrestris which is extremely common.
