You're out for a meal and your first morsel of whatever meat you are having has just come off the fork, just inside your lips. Then you hear the question- ''what's your meat like'' .. It hasn't even touched a taste bud yet, not one chew to determine texture, and as I have food in my mouth, I'm unable to talk anyway. Then the constant offers of '' you can have more vegetables, there's still some in the bowl'' '' do you want more vegetables'' ''shall I pass the vegetables to you''
Not to mention that half way through you're expected to discuss desert preferences

It’s such a shame. Anyway Jimmy, if you do read any of these posts do come back, you are a miss.

He is a miss, but, I really don’t think he will be coming back, unfortunately. We can hope he has a change of mind, an extended break from here might do him good and energise him to come back.

Nothing against the lady herself, but whenever Katrina Johnson-Thompson is mentioned in a commentary it irks the heck out of me for some reason. I just don’t think the surname works as a double barrel. As I say I admire her talent and wish her well but that surname:emoticon-0121-angry

My son and his missus double barrelled their surnames so any future children would have both a Norwegian and an English surname. I appreciate their reasoning and think it's a good idea but they're both longish surnames so it's a bit of a mouthful!

I believe Spanish women keep their maiden name and just add their husbands surname on when they get married. Unsure if that then makes it double barrelled.

There's a Spanish couple work at my GP surgery. He's a doctor and she's a nurse. Suppose their official surname is Apple-Banana. She's known as Sister Apple and he's known as Dr Banana. I wonder if that's linked to their names before marriage.
 
When I have a queue of traffic behind me and I see someone on my right struggling to pull out of a T-junction. They're wanting to pull out then go ahead of me, so I flash them and take a little speed off. There's no one else ahead of me or on the opposite side of the road so the manouvre is simple.

Instead of pulling out immediately they just stare so I flash them again while they look up and down the road. They just sit there so I get to the point whereby they no longer have quite enough room ...

... and that's when they decide to pull out meaning I now have to brake sharply.

Instead of just carrying on they also brake, in the middle of the road, so now we've both come to a complete stop. At this point they panic, stall the car then start waving the apologies. Now the car behind me starts honking his horn and wondering why this idiot, me, flashed the other car in the first place!
