Human creativity always finds a conduit, eh.

"Dad's awfully noisy in the toilet these days!" "It's his new bidet! He says it cleans his arse to the bone!" "To the bone, you say?"

To the bone, you say!

I had a temp job in 2006 where I'd have to reply to e-mails for a car insurance company, and it was so mind-numbing I'd be typing out the templates instead of copy-pasting just to pass the time. At a given point I decided to start signing all my e-mails with fake names beginning with R, so Roger, Robbie, Reg... I think I'd flown too close to the sun when the manager stood up and called out, "and who the fuck is Ruddiger?"

the British accent

Hold back, lads! He doesn't know what he's saying!

To the bone, you say?

I think you can find a middle ground between "I assume they'd come and politely discuss it" and "I think constantly whether my every single minor action can offend someone".

You still occasionally see people talk about their weight in stone, but many just use kilos now, anecdotally.

In my experience, if you're looking to lose a bit of flab for the summer, you'd say you want to lose six pound to half a stone (which is 7lb) or whatever, but if you go the gym regularly and keep an extremely keen eye on your weight, or if you like to think you do, you use kilos. As a rule, you'd use imperial for eyeballing or for measuring things with a bit of play, but you'd use metric if you need precision.

I don't think that happened, unless the bedding was made of tarpaulin or clingfilm or something. But then you should assume that these stories haven't happened, so there.

Here's how I put images in Lemmy comments:

• Right-click on the image and copy it
• Left-click on the text field
• Ctrl-V
• Bish bash bosh

I think it's more that you get taught the "right" way of doing, speaking, etc. and people are geared to dislike challenges to that idea until they learn to accept change. Another example would be people who've learnt how to do a particular task at work being shown a better way of doing it but having a niggling sense that the way they'd learnt first is ipso facto better.

I still can't find the bit where he goes, "let's go SHOPPING."

Edit: Never mind, found it.
