You clean the air fryer drawers after use?

I don't remember that one, but I do remember where I was on Black Wednesday in 1992 – purely because I was on holiday in Greece and the exchange rate tanked.

Came here for such a response. Did not disappoint.

Hmmm, Harrogate here. Waitrose and Asda are about the same distance to the bus and train station (which are next to each other). So, it's a shit hole full of arseholes driving pointless SUVs. Yeah, I think you've hit the nail on the head.

And circa. 5% less product, too.

The first time it was done, it was fine. Now it is just lazy advertising types pitching the same regurgitated idea to oblivious clients.

I guess it depends on how long they have owned the property and how far away from the sea at the time it was when they bought it.

I agreed with you for the first sentence, but you went down in my estimation with the second sentence – take the glasses back out of courtesy for the hard-working and underpaid bar staff, not just to stop poor Dave from being scared by a little insect.

This could be an episode of Inside Number 9 (played in reverse-time so the dumping a helpless child dressed as a clown at the travelling circus is the big shock ending).

In 1990, when climbing the steps to the viewing platform at St Peter's Ballisca, I saw two American tourists in front of me with a huge camcorder, filming themselves and narrating very loudly into the camera. They didn't notice me behind them pulling faces in shot. I hope I ruined their recording.

Of course! People in their forties aren't allowed to do things they enjoy. I remember now – thank you for reminding me.

Hmm, I’d say ‘guest’s’ as they then say ‘address’ rather than ‘addresses’ so it’s possessive of the singular.

That's a different issue completely, but indicative of the poor build quality of many new homes. Near where I live, they are building hundreds of new homes, and the first stormy day we had took parts of the roofs of several completed properties, including the showhome.

Well, yes. But what does that matter? Are you suggesting that people selling houses should only sell to locals? The same locals that, erm, can't afford to buy those houses.

I have to agree – I have never, not once, heard anything by Oasis that even bears a fleeting resemblance to anything by The Beatles. On another note, I have just realised that the intro to Run to the Hills by Iron Maiden is a rip-off of the intro to Autonomy by the Buzzcocks.

I'm glad it's not just me. I tried, and failed, to understand that gibberish.

Years ago, I used to buy £1 gift vouchers (which came with a free card) and give them as birthday gifts - cost the same as just buying a card but the recipients got to buy something too.

An actor playing a character will never be as sickening as what actually happened in any war.

Did it really? I hear that knowing how to nail a good soufflé stands you in good stead for a career in coloproctology.

Depends on the job. You're not going to get to be a Junior Doctor with three GCSEs and a Diploma in Food Science.

We have several sets of pegs from over the years, but I always pair them up and use matching colours too. I feel especially pleased when I can find pegs of the same colour as the garment I am hanging out.

Agreed most whole-heartedly. But it’s the ones that do it without realising what they are doing that need euthanasing.

I knew someone called Mike Tyson - once he almost got arrested after being pulled over by the police for some minor driving error, as they thought he was deliberately giving a false name.

The kids can find the dishwasher and toilet paper. And they are clever enough to know that, if they don't do it, you'll do it for them anyway.

Ours always went in after we’d finished unwrapping presents (start unwrapping at 6.30am, complete unwrapping 6.31am).

I do all the prep. the night before so it’s all good to go straight in / on. It’s never been stressful and I’ve cooked for up to 16 people (we eat later, but allowing five or so hours is plenty enough time).

Lots of *weird* people.
