Wine Legs Sep 2020 3:35pm, 9 Sep 2020 5,420 posts	Quote Pin Wine Legs [I think because it always looks "perfect" and in our Instagram world, where everything must be perfect at all times, this ticks that box. I understand it from a practical point of view in my childminders garden, where it would be a mudbath with kids in and out all day (and in similar settings), but I still hate it.]
XB Sep 2020 3:41pm, 9 Sep 2020 10,261 posts	Quote Pin XB Here's another - modern car design which means that when cars are parked close to a junction you can't see left or right before you edge out. All you can see is whopping slabs of metal and blacked out windows until you're in the middle of the road. In days of yore the windows were massive and clear enough to see right through the car. And fake grass. If you don't want the trouble of mowing a lawn, plant a shrubbery. One that looks nice and not too expensive.

Raemond Sep 2020 4:14pm, 9 Sep 2020 6,174 posts	Quote Pin Raemond I currently have quite a large astro burn on my left knee from fake grass on the pitch on saturday. Sure, it's equally playable pretty much all year and very low maintenance, but I'd still rather fall over on proper grass and or mud, ta very much.
Velociraptor Sep 2020 5:24pm, 9 Sep 2020 48,451 posts	Quote Pin Velociraptor Inappropriate use of the passive voice. "So, this happened," instead of, "I did this." "Board games were played," instead of, "We played board games." Are you such a fucking DRIP that you can't even take responsibility for entering a race or playing Monopoly?
