    Those folded up information leaflets in boxes of painkillers and cold tablets. You have to dig the bloody things out if you open the packet from one end and they catch and stop you putting the unused painkillers back in the box.

    Nobody reads them, so what's the fucking point?

    @Snowy back to the basement you go!!

    Cellar! It's a cellar!

    Back on topic - people who call my "wine" cellar a basement!

    Wine cellar: basement with exorbitent prices. Or, a mate-proof lock.

    Oh, if you end up in there you don't worry about the wine prices.

    Why do people presume they can call and attempt to pat a puppy they don't own? It's in training to ignore strangers.

    I'm the opposite of this - why do dog people assume I want their dog to come over and sniff me, or lick me, or jump up on me? Buy a lead if your dog ignores its training as a puppy. I'm not a an early 20s Asian chick, I don't think your dog is cute.

    My puppy is cute, but I don't care about the pets of strangers.

    I'm like that with my children

    WTF. They're animals, they shouldn't be inside.

    My cat sleeps on our bed when it's a really cold night. Keeps our feet warm

    So does mine, but cats like to clean themselves.

    The one at the farm where I used to store my personal stock has a bar code reader, and contains the gunsafe so is very well locked. It just wasn't proof against the daughter a few years back and hence the past tense for my personal stock

    Your alcohol area contains a gunsafe? Not sure that would be a good idea in my house but the Cossack-themed house parties would really go off with a bang.

    @pakman Well, the blokes obviously a bit of a dick but fuck me I'm getting fed up with the frothing at the mouth we're seeing for someone expressing their pretty harmless views and quite often people losing their jobs over it. When are we going to get over ourselves eh?

    We seem as a society to increasingly view resilience with indifference and glorify 'microagressions' being called out.

    Whatever happened to tolerance?

    Well he’s got a point. You all need to BE MORE FUCKING TOLERANT!

    For fucks sake, it’s not hard. What doesn’t someone make you all be more tolerant?
