fleecy Jun 2013 2:40pm, 18 Jun 2013 9,973 posts	Quote Pin fleecy I don't mind wine o'clock, may have even said it myself in the past. It's quicker than saying 'I'm dying for a drink but don't wish to appear a desperate alcoholic'. Drinkypoos is beyond the pale, however. I heard a man in his 50s saying it in a pub garden recently, and he was wearing pink trousers. That's 2 crimes right there.

JamieKai chameleon Jun 2013 4:26pm, 18 Jun 2013 7,357 posts	Quote Pin JamieKai chameleon I don't mind "o'clock"isms, purely as one of my colleagues uses it in a variety of amusing circumstance, including Warrant O'Clock for when people have failed to attend for their report appointments... He was on Tipping Point recently ('game' show on ITV) where Ben Shepherd tried to rip the piss out of him, and was dignified in ignoring the idiocy...
JamieKai chameleon Jun 2013 4:29pm, 18 Jun 2013 7,358 posts	Quote Pin JamieKai chameleon Back on topic - constant adverts for Candy Crush Saga, Bingo sites, gambling sites etc. The day I can get rid of this tv I'll be a happy
Wobbling Jun 2013 4:44pm, 18 Jun 2013 2,112 posts	Quote Pin Wobbling Recruitment - I was told I'd hear on Monday whether I'm going to be invited to a second interview. It's now nearly five on Tuesday, and despite the recruitment consultant chasing the firm, I still haven't heard anything. I'm also narked at myself for not learning from past job-hunting experience, and expecting to be patient. And, I've got a huge spot under my ear and it won't pop. I'm also cross that as a 40 year old woman, I still have spots.
