I think the group gimmick fitness sessions are probably the worst. the 'business' taking a photo of all of them together at the end of their workout and sharing it on social media. Especially when it's something as strange as pole dancing "fitness".

Fixed.

I noticed a couple of blokes wearing denim ststoppers the other day, are they back in fashion?
Unless they were going to a fancy dress party...

Yet another thing we seem to have inherited from our American cousins. In fact I reckon 80% of the things on this thread come from that weird non-culture that the American's seem so good at cultivating and promoting.

Is it possible to cultivate a non-culture?

It is if you are American. Just when I think they can't possibly come up with yet another moronic phrase or word, up they pop!

David Avocado Wolfe's first access to the internet?

I honestly and genuinely have nothing but hate and contempt for that charlatan.

Daniel Guacamole Fox, on the other hand, is quite amusing.

Annoyingly, no other web presence. It seems to be gradually sucking the life out of the rest of the web.

Well, yes, Facebook is now a thing, for sure. Thanks for that, Captain Obvious.

Incidentally, Pistonheads now seems to be a thing. I was quite amused by a semi-recent article in the Telegraph that claimed that Pistonheads is the Mumsnet for men. Particularly so since Pistonheads pre-dates Mumsnet.

That's an interesting suggestion. It's certainly a walled garden, but if you go back in time long enough it is no more so than Prestel, CIX, CompuServe, AOL, and the like. All sought to become a walled garden that encompassed their users' entire internet experience.

Plus ca change, and all that.

I don't mind doing this, however what I do mind is at our place it is expected that that the cakes come from the local; expensive, bakery, as opposed to either bringing in a cake that you have made, or going to Sainsbury's to buy a load of far cheaper cakes, it gets expensive otherwise and in the grand scheme of things a job lot of do-nuts form Sainsbury's taste just as nice.

One that's really beginning to grate is; "..let's have the conversation" or "we need to have the conversation"

If people bring goodies in I'm very happy to eat them wherever they came from

Never look a gift doughnut in the hole. (That's a new saying that I will try to make into 'a thing )

Don’t buy them if you don’t want to. I don’t buy cakes and don’t eat them if someone else brings them in. You are worried about what people will say, why? Who cares.

For whatever reason in primary school when it was your birthday you was meant to give out refreshers bars to everyone in your class at the end of the day. Of course you wasn't 'meant' do, but I had no idea why it was refresher bars though. Everyone did it.

I think it was probably specific to your school. Never heard of it before.
