    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    The Flemish flautist fleetingly flaunts his flatus.

    ... depending on which Mexican restaurant they visit. ...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Or 'flaunt' where they mean 'flout' - as in 'flaunting convention'.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Yes, I know ... but it's the whole 'general concept' of self-assembly that 'ticks me off'. It's quite a decent development over here and simply suggests that the manufacturers are lazy and greedy (which I suppose we know anyway!). ... Also, it sometimes happens that it's not made clear just how...

    WWII/old-fashioned military slang for passing gas.

    Some relevant Royal Marines sayings: 'Down and patch out' (after a loud fart). 'I'll raise you.' 'Officer's Mess Commander Speaking' (after a long fart). 'Speak up Brown, you're through' (loud).

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Self-assembly furniture, especially relatively minor items like the show rack I've just ordered and find I have to assemble from scratch because the manufacturer can't be bothered to do it! When am I - or all the millions of my overworked fellow countrymen - supposed to find time to read, let...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Our London Borough has been run by Muppets for over 30 years.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    We have them in the UK as well. And the US certainly has them in large numbers.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    A German friend at university in the 1980s was on the Realo wing of Die Grunen and seemed to spend more time opposing the Fundis than, say, the CDU. I thought the Fundis had pretty much died out but perhaps they've undergone a resurgence in these curious times.

    WWII/old-fashioned military slang for passing gas.

    The oldest trick, of course, is to fart into a glass jar, seal it double-quick, then label it with date and time and see if it is still 'alive' days or weeks later.

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    http://www.outdoorknitwear.com/new-products Outdoor Knitwear have launched two new products, essentially cardigan versions of the Woolly Pully design, with pockets but without the patches at the shoulders and elbows. They look interesting and I don't rule one out to add to my embarrassingly...

    War and Peace. Anyone going?

    Max Mosley is the son of Oswald Mosley. There was a complex defamation case involving him a few years back. Thanks for the reassurance that the fascist thing is only a fringe element - it does sound like an interesting event.

    WWII/old-fashioned military slang for passing gas.

    At school - as in many all-male environments - farts were a constant source of amusement and comment.

    Guernsey jumper

    We're having a cool interlude and I was actually able to wear my Navy Guernsey yesterday evening - which was great.

    War and Peace. Anyone going?

    This is quite off-putting. It's hard to understand why anyone at all (other than 'alt.right' trolls) would want to dress up as Nazis - except perhaps a small number of very hard core S&M enthusiasts.

    WWII/old-fashioned military slang for passing gas.

    I noticed it straightaway!!! Our PE master barked instructions at us. As far as his farts were concerned, we used to say that we ought to be issued with gas masks.

    War and Peace. Anyone going?

    Apologies for the misunderstanding (although I hope you took it as a compliment). No, not put off at all - it sounds a fascinating event and I shall get myself on the mailing list.

    War and Peace. Anyone going?

    That is extremely good advice. As far as smells are concerned, you have revealed in another thread that you are (admirably) lacking in 'fart shame' and so we shall know the culprit.

    War and Peace. Anyone going?

    Will seriously consider it next year.

    War and Peace. Anyone going?

    It actually looks very interesting. I think I saw two men on the way to it yesterday in an extremely battered old Army Land Rover.
