“We’re going out tonight if you fancy it?” Me texting back, in my pyjamas, climbing into bed, reaching for my eye mask, about to turn my phone to do not disturb: “okay, might see you down there!”
My shopping routine: 1. Arrive at till with pile of loose items and realise I’ve forgotten my bag 2. Refuse 40p carrier bag 3. Waddle to car with food stacked and balanced up my torso and held in place under my chin 4. Remember my keys are in my pocket 5. Very carefully free…
It’s weird how it used to be that a comedy group/comic would do a popular sketch, then they’d be famous for that sketch, whereas now someone online will do a popular sketch and every single comedy influencer will just go “well, I’ll just do that exact same sketch myself then”
Nowhere in 1984 does Orwell mention Everton winning the FA Cup. Not as visionary as people think!
Who had this absolute legend? On its own little table. “Hello, 380534”. Twiddling the springy cable while you talked. Good times.
I wish I had something better than “I’m well thank you, hope you’re well too!” for my email replies
He looks how I feel and I’m only 40.
I will never be able to fix a roll of cling film once it’s gone wrong. Some people can, but I can’t.
Top 30 British expressions: 1. Right, what’s all this then? 2. Don’t get your knickers in a twist 3. All gone pear-shaped 4. I’m in a bit of a pickle 5. It’s not my cup of tea 6. I’m chuffed to bits 7. I’m full of beans 8. Happy as Larry 9. What a load of… 10. He’s off…
like to say it whenever I see someone getting a delivery from a big John Lewis lorry.

What’s something that’ll make a British person say, “ooh, someone’s doing alright for themselves”? Someone said it to me because I had some M&S biscuits.

@RobTemple101 That reminds me that a friend unsubscribed from a marketing email and the response was: "it's a shame that you have unsubscribed from our emails." He found it vaguely threatening.
@RobTemple101 Yeah our printer tells us off if we don't shut it down how it thinks we should and the washing machine beeps quite a few times if you don't open the door immediately. I dislike bossy tech, at least you can mute the tumble dryer and I did, it's staying that way too 😉😊
@RobTemple101 I sometime change well to good just to liven things up
@RobTemple101 Or foil when it starts a new route of its own.
@RobTemple101 My response is normally something like "Fair to middling, how's thee & thine?" Something for them to either go for a break to figure out wtf I said or for them never to ask again 😁
@RobTemple101 I quite like to use, “I’m living the dream” tbh, I use that most in meetings or in shops when assistants (have clearly been told) to ask, how are you, or how’s your day going? I always do it with good humor tho, I’m not an asshole.
@RobTemple101 I'm the cling film and foil untangler in our house. May put it on my CV
@RobTemple101 This reply is golden x.com/amosu_/status/…
@AMAZlNGNATURE Has it considered running for president ?
@RobTemple101 I bet he shares your clingfilm struggles too 🫤
@RobTemple101 When I’ve done it I’ve felt ridiculously proud 😬
@RobTemple101 Have you ever dropped a roll of tin foil on the floor? Try rolling that up neatly!
@RobTemple101 Put it in the fridge - makes it easier to handle.
