It works like one of these but on a bigger scale.

Not to forget chunderwhelmed = undesirable effect of too much alcohol, or wine containing ground-up crisps. Nerine is no stranger to that.

Waiterwhelmed = impatiently frustrated waiting for things to happen that don't. I'm thinking of important goals, but I suppose you could apply it to slow restaurant service.

Ask @nerineskinner.bsky.social what Liv Struss would do with it.

Reminds me of the Cockney Rhyming Degree grades (which show my age):
Damien [Hirst] - 1st
Atilla [the Hun] - 2:1
Desmond - 2:2
Douglas [Hurd] - 3rd

The drawing of the menâs bowl below the raised seat looks identical to the womenâs, so pity the poor women who havenât got the luxury of a seat at all.

That Bluesky profile looks about as genuine as Donald Trumpâs promises of world peace and prosperity.

No point blaming Labour. For decades both parties have governed similarly, with growing public sector, quangos, regulation, tax and welfare and shrinking military. Thanks in part to Trump and Putin the inevitable day of reckoning just happens to be in the first year of a Labour government.

Just seen a KFC ad âSurrender to the tenderâ! Learn something new every day.

It's filmed in a different house from all your later videos. Did you 'bubble' with someone living near West Ealing Sainsbury's during COVID, or move soon after making this?

Euston Victoria line - isn't that tile design the old Euston Arch?

I donât know what âSurrender to the Blenderâ is supposed to be about, but this guide to âcheese & wineâ is what it brings to mind.

Scientific approach: the average age of mothers giving birth in the UK. Currently 30.9 years so 3 decades give or take.

Bad eyesight means I can barely see it in the mirror, but I still have to obey that law. To judge how it's been cut at the back I feel it. One female barber observed me doing that and invited me to do likewise on subsequent visits.

Turns out my ticket to Trump's orientation expired when Liv killed the Queen.

Normally that only happens if you have a Better Half, and I haven't so No. If you mean expecting to find newly grown potato roots, no I don't do that either.

In the scope of this discussion, does the toilet bowl count as a 'cupboard' with two doors on a hinge at the back?

My iPad version still shows a startup screen with Santa hat, and the UK App Store doesnât show an update available.

Sometimes all dividers were in use and you had to nick one from the closed checkout next door. Iâd forgotten all about that as Sainsburyâs introduced hand-held scanners about 5 years ago, and the only problem is the checkout machine canât tell Iâve been old enough to buy beer since 1983.

My father's cat turned his Windows desktop sideways. I had to look up the Ctrl+Alt+arrow key shortcut to reset it back. My mum said "MA Cantab Computer Science defeated by a cat" - I've never lived that down.

When I saw that I thought 'Wuppertal Schwebebahn' but googling suggests it's an unofficial name for the London cable car.

This train is exceptionally crowded because of the cancellation of a previous service. Please make use of all available space. No seat reservations are in operation. There will be no refreshment trolley service because it cannot get through safely.

Never realised Liv was a devout Brianist, but it makes sense to celebrate the birth of baby cheeses at Christmas if âBlessed are the cheesemakersâ. Is she putting herself forward to be Archbishop of Cathedral City?

Really sorry to learn youâre so unwell during panto and hope you can get some rest and make a quick recovery đ. Iâll keep following you here and on Ko-fi, and sometimes view you on X and YT Community. Iâm not on FB, Instagram, Threads or TikTok at all.

Happy New Year and get well soon đ.
I see youâve said more on X than here recently, including about the lurgy - which platform do you prefer to be followed on nowadays?

If they just copy entire videos you can add 1-2s of opening credits. If they edit them down you can watermark them. As I've said before, only upload 15-20s teaser clips on socials other than YT/TikTok. Hope you succeed getting Facebook to take this uncredited one down.

I don't recognise the last two women, but is the second one the therapist from 'This Is Nerinal Tap'?

Depends whether you just mean remember or remember and understand? I recall seeing what I think was the Ronan Point gas explosion on the front page of my dad's newspaper when I was under 3, but probably the first one I actually appreciated was Apollo 16 when I was six.

That One Day In Your Life sounds pretty Bad. The first kid doesnât find the panto a Thriller and told you to Beat It. You should have told the second âI Canât Help It if Iâm Off The Wallâ, and maybe invited them onstage to Get On The Floor and Rock With You. Keep Workinâ Day And NightâŚ

After 4 years of Biden, the US re-elected their nutter. After 5 months of Starmer, weâd like to re-elect ours, but she seemed to have gone missing. Thanks for tracking her down.

At work we sometimes called reported computer problems that disappeared when asked to look at them âfinger troubleâ. Maybe finger trouble can cause temporary pain in your arm.

I loved it, but I remember ABBA winning Eurovision with Waterloo and started buying their records in 1979 aged 13. YMMV. Why not get a dancefloor ticket and go as Ange Raver? Please don't take Iwona Helft-wu, as nobody will Thank You For The Music! đ

Bluesky allegedly doesnât deprioritise posts with external links as X does. Teaser clips may be prioritised more. Make these shorter than the Pet Peeves one which was the first 60s of a ~90s sketch - 15-20s say. You really want them to tempt people to watch the full YT version.

Good point. If this is about a shared kitchen, germs are most likely to get onto your cup from dirty tea towels and washing up sponges/cloths, not the kettle.
