Threads that you never quite had the bottle to start..


Recommended Posts

Possibly a combination of all three, or maybe it's just the bragging about said food that grates the most? I always remember someone on here boasting about have a posh omelette for tea (fratata I think it's called). Why not just say, I had a nice omelette for dinner? OR just not say anything at all.

Yes but the difference is rd I don't specify which wine I'm drinking with the intention of making people jealous. Sometimes it's lambrini, some blue nun, it might even be a sainsburys basic Pinot Grigio. It's not like I'm coming on here giving a specific year, grape variety etc on average I pay less than a fiver for most wine I drink. I take your point though. Wouldn't you agree though, there's something really annoying about people talking about fratata's? It's almost on a par with pizza for me.

How do you propose we research this?


And by "orgasm free", are we including solo efforts or sticking to bunk ups with partners?



I don't actually believe for a second that you have ever lacked the bottle to start anything!

We had this thread back in the "Tony london suburbs" days. I was stupid enough to actually take part in that painful conversation.

Fratata sounds like a Welsh/Irish/Scottish colloquialism for Fried Potato.

Exactly *Bob*. I don't mind the natives referring to their grub in the native tongue, but when poncy Brits start talking about 'ya I came home and it was too late for waitrose ya so I knocked up a fratata in the kitchen snort snort'. Makes me feel nauseous.

I agree there can be a lot of unnecessary 'oneupmanship' in some threads, can't remember the fratata thread, but one that springs to mind was someone asking for ideas for a honeymoon destination, wasn't long before we got something like white water rafting down the Amazon. Can't remember if I posted ''a wet weekend in Skeggy did it for me'' but I will next time...

This is a much higher standard than of late - KUTGW

That only proves that the bloke has "gotten there" once in 9 months. Says nothing about the women, other than perhaps they were hopeful 9 months ago...

Honestly Otta, I do struggle to appreciate the number of brats these people have. And it's always that whole ignorant "I let my child do what they want because telling them off is bad karma" or some bollocks like that. You're in a pub/cafe/shop with numerous screaming kids getting in the way of people, annoying them, and is there an apology? Is there bollocks! Control you bloody child you wanted to procreate learn how to teach them to be seen and not heard!


It's not all middle class women miga, but they are disproportionately represented in the category of annoying people. On the fratata topic, anyone be they male, female or yet to decide is also included.

    • That's actually why the Sherlock Holmes stories were so popular. There was so little crime people found it exciting to imagine robberies and murders happening in London.
    • Yes, because of course there were no violent robberies in the olden days. Pretty much no crime happened at all I believe through the entire Victorian era.
    • Hi all, Im a Southwark council leaseholder and live downstairs in a ground floor flat, there is one flat above me, it's a house with individual front doors leading from the street into the shared pathway. My neighbour told me he has had a ring doorbell installed, no discussion as to how I would feel being on camera everytime I go in and out or in my front garden. I was told it's only for deliveries and doesn't record and only activates when pressed, however I don't know this and I feel really uncomfortable everytime I'm out in garden or on doorstep talking to people. Everytime I walk in/out, it lights up and in the eve it has a  infra red  light. Now I've read up that as he said its only for deliveries, he could set it so it only activates when pressed, however it activates with its motion sensor. Had he said to me about getting it installed, I could have had the opportunity to ask about it recording etc but nothing except it's being installed and when I arrived home it was there. I don't like being horrible to people however I feel I have not been considered in his decision and I feel very uncomfortable as, some times I have to stand on doorstep to get signal for my mobile and I really don't like the idea of being watched and listened to. Has anyone got any advice as I'm beginning to get angry as I've asked about it once and was told it only activates when pressed. I believe this is not true. I know southwark council say you need to ask permission to make sure the neighbours are OK with it, I don't really want to go down that road but I don't know how to approach the subject again. They also put a shed approx 3 foot from my back room window, these places are built so my window faces their rear garden and there upstairs window  faces mine. They said it's there temporarily, that was over a year ago and it does affect the light, plus I'm hoping to sell up soon and the view from window is mainly a dark brown shed. When I've mentioned this, I was told they have no where else to put it, whereas originally they said its only temporary, Also the floorboards above are bare and I get woke early morning and at night, the thudding is so bad my light shakes and window rattles, so I mentioned this and asked if they have rugs, I was told when they get the boards re sanded they will get rugs, I should have asked if they could get rugs and just take them up when boards being done, which I would have done had it been me living above someone, their attitude was I can just put up with it until they are ready. so they had the floor boards done, and the workmen was hammering screws, yes screws, in the floorboards, I spoke to workmen to ask how much longer and they said yes, are using screws to make less noise! I could hear the cordless screwdriver, not an issue but for every screw there were at least 8 whacks, the owners had gone out to avoid the noise  so I  spoke to workmen as the noise was unbearable, the sanding, not an issue at all, people need to get things done to their home and I'm fine that on occasions there will be temporary noise. now I have a nice crack on my bedroom ceiling, I mentioned this to owner but no response, he said there were alot of loose floorboards and it will be much better now, not so noisy, as though I don't know the difference between squeaking floor boards and thudding, and nothing was mentioned re the crack or that they now have rugs, which if it were me, I'd be trying to resolve the issue so we can get on with feeling happy in our homes. so I'm feeling it's a total lack of consideration. these places are old and Edwardian and I've lived here over 40 years, had 4 different neighbours and it's only now the noise of thudding is really bad and the people before had floorboards but nothing like this. As you can probably tell I'm really wound up and I don't want to end up exploding at them, I've always got on with neighbours and always said if there's a problem with my dog, pls let me know, always tell me, however I feel it's got to the point where I say something and I'm fobbed off. I know I should tell them but I'm angry, perhaps I should write them a letter. Any suggestions greatly appreciated and thank you for reading my rant.
