    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Here's a trivial issue to kick off 2024. My wife and I have lunch at an upscale (but not terrifically expensive) restaurant nearly every Sunday. All the servers have got into the practice of using the pronoun "we" when addressing us. I don't know if this is a training policy of the...

    In my hometown (established in the mid-to-late 19th century) I passed older houses on my walk to school which had hinged cast-iron doors at ground level (meaning just above the dirt).

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    Broadsheet newspapers. Now some newspapers still think of themselves as "broadsheet", but if I don't have to hold my arms wide apart to open to an inner page, it's not "broadsheet" in my book.

    You might have told the crowd, "It's an inside joke."

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Strippers and Bible study, now there's a combination that beggars the imagination!

    Why I love cats more than women...

    Do you find that women, generally, feel much the same way about you?

    The only Candice I know of (never met any) is this one: https://hollywoodlife.com/pics/candice-bergen-young-photos/various-1967-3, but I never heard of her referred to as "Candy".

    Maybe you're joking, or maybe your only experience with pudding (for our British members, don't confuse American pudding with what you call "pudding" and we call "desert") is with instant pudding mix, then it's not surprising if you don't know about pudding skins. These form from the egg yolk...

In those days someone (usually a women, if I recall) sat on a little fold-down stool...

    "Shall we say two o'clock?"

    Last week I watched the last Endeavour. Did anyone else notice the reference to a police trainee named Lewis in New Castle who was the cousin of one of the victims in this episode?

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    I think the part ".... but the castaways are still stranded." is a dead giveaway that the whole warning was tongue-in-cheek. But given the current atmosphere, you could be forgiven for thinking that some (Can I say "clown" here, or is that too close to a political opinion?) Oh well, caution to...
