Naïve Old Fart 11,523 Posted December 17, 2024 Share Posted December 17, 2024 I've been invited to a social event over the Crimbo hols. Lovely... except that the invite says: "6:45pm for 7pm". What's that all about? Do I turn up at 7, or at 6:45? I'm confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 42,255 Posted December 17, 2024 Share Posted December 17, 2024 Huh, never seen that before! I guess split the difference and show up at 6:52:30? Naïve Old Fart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would make more sense if the invite said "6:45 to 7:00 PM" I'd present myself at exactly "18:52:30" just to be pedantic. Lemme guess, this is a Scottish invite?

My guess'd be they want you to arrive earlier at 6:45 so to be ready for the 7:00 start time. Something big's going down at 7:00 sharp and they want you all there and prepared! lol Richard P and Naïve Old Fart 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naïve Old Fart 11,523 Posted December 23, 2024 Share Posted December 23, 2024 Now I know why it said: "6:45pm for 7:00pm". I got there just before 7, and all the fucking mince pies had been scoffed! That'll learn me. Jay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naïve Old Fart 11,523 Posted December 23, 2024 Share Posted December 23, 2024 Probably a combination of both. I think that when it says: "6:45 for 7", most people turn up at 6:30. Having that 15 minute head-start makes all the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,858 Posted December 24, 2024 Share Posted December 24, 2024 Its terribly impolite to turn up early though. At least in continental Europe. Scotts probably wanna get a round in asap. Naïve Old Fart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naïve Old Fart 11,523 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Does anyone remember a time when you went to something, or you didn't; that you said either "yes" to something, or "no" to something? Not anymore. Now you "register an expression of interest". I mean WTF, right? Last November, the staff team was sent a group e-mail asking if they would be interested in going on a staff night out. I reacted with the icon. My reaction was to say that I had read the e-mail. I thought nothing more about it, untill two weeks later, I got a visit from the author of the e-mail asking where my deposit is, for my staff night out meal? Huh?! Next time, I won't bother replying.

Alas my feelings for her weren’t reciprocated. I quit my job because being close to her every day hurt too much. Later she got married and had children. I’m happy for her, now I realize that it couldn’t have worked out between us, and not just because she was five years older than me, but because we are very different people. In hindsight I’m happy for all the feelings I had for her, it made me a better artist, I wrote several books that were fuelled by the love I felt. So hopelessly loving her wasn’t in vein.

Nick1Ø66 6,714 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Overused internet phrases, some of which people think are clever but really makes them seem unoriginal. The first person who did it was clever; everyone else who followed is an idiot. A far from comprehensive list of examples: “That’s it. That’s the Tweet" (especially when followed by more words) “Tell me you don’t (insert thing) without telling me you don’t (insert thing).” “I can’t even” “All the feels” “Sorry, not sorry” "I don't get all the hate" "Haters gonna hate" “Living my best life” “I did a thing” “We stan” “Asking for a friend” "Do better" "Do the work" ”Serious question” ”Genuinely curious” "It's my truth" ”Unpopular opinion” ”Am I the ONLY one who…”* ”Does anyone else…”* "Is it just me..."* ”What’s your HONEST opinion on…” ”I know I’m going to get downvoted but…” "That moment when..." "I was today years old when..." "I need you to..." “Literally” anything. *No. Yes. No. Oh, and mockingly “WrITing LIkE thIs wHen you’Re trYing tO mAke sOmeoNe sEeM sTuPid” only makes you look stupid. Finally, if you have to say you're "adulting", you're probably not as much of an adult as you suppose. BONUS: Worst meme: “Corporate wants you to spot the difference between these two pictures”. Ugh.
