Windscreen wipers still on after it's stopped raining.

What set me off was 'Get your mug, you've pulled'.

'Your presence on our special day will be enough of a gift in itself. However if you do want to get us a wedding present we have a registered gift list at John Lewis full of overpriced tat which we probably don't need and almost certainly won't use'

Or just chip in for our dream honeymoon, even though you can't afford to take your own family to a caravan for 4 nights.

Fuck off!

Vending machines, when I enter in what I think is the number of the Beef McCoys, top left as I look at it. Sesame fricking bars drop down from bottom middle. I'd entered the price, not the number of the crisps.

You can stop reading right there. Turn up, hoover up the food and booze, job done.

The use of the word 'support' on Woman's Hour.

It's never not said but today I've heard it about fifty times in eight minutes.

Perhaps I should be a woman. Hmm...

[Robert Poste's Child]

As I've said before, replace the word 'woman' in your post with 'black' or 'disabled' to see if that was likely to be offensive.

[Otta]

If the problem is with the overuse of a word, why would it be offensive to anyone?

[steveo]

I can't think why I failed to notice when you wrote it before.

However, as far as I'm aware there isn't a programme called either Black Hour or Disabled Hour on Radio 4

If there were and they were overusing the word 'support' I might get irrationally ragey

[Alan Medic]

Were they discussing bra's? Why were you listening to Women's Hour? It's for women isn't it? As in, not men.

You're right, RPC. I replaced the word 'women' with 'men' and found the whole concept of a 'Men's Hour' on radio 4 to be an entirely stupid and outdated one.

[steveo]

That's why I listen to it Alan just in case bras come up

[????]

3500 grrrrrrr

[????]

Agggh, damn you Steveo

*shakes fist*

Surely that would be more entertaining on telly?

What a pathetic bunch of idiots you can be sometimes. I get it, the Lounge is a boys' club.

[uncleglen]

People who change the words slightly in the 'Song game...' thread so that they can put whatever song they want

That's a bit harsh.

[Alan Medic]

If you want to go all PC about it,isn't Woman's Hour offensive to men in your world or shouldn't it be?

Losing contestants on The Apprentice saying, "Thank you, Lord Sugar" when they've just been fired. Don't bloody thank him, he's just fired you! Tell him he can stick his job up his a*se and f*ck off while he's doing it, then march out of the door.

[Otta]

I think they should just look at him for a moment, then say "your mum".

[Salsaboy]

lol
