Knuckledragger Posted October 12, 2018 Report Posted October 12, 2018 I had one of those for my old Android phone. It doesn't work with my iPhone though, so now it's a dust collector. The handset that is, not the Jesus piece. 1 Quote

Hopstretch Posted October 13, 2018 Report Posted October 13, 2018 Alec took the SSAT high school entrance exam today. Asked him how it went and the sum total feedback was: "Piece of piss! Let's go to Subway, I'm starving." Let's hope this optimistic assessment is in fact borne out once the scores come back. 4 Quote
Dusty Chalk Posted October 13, 2018 Report Posted October 13, 2018 Wait, that's 'optimistic'? Lingo these days... Quote
Hopstretch Posted October 14, 2018 Report Posted October 14, 2018 I think it was probably originally a bastardization of "piece of cake" and "piss easy". But yeah, "piece of piss" in Brit slang would be the equivalent of "no sweat" etc. in the US. 1 3 Quote
Dusty Chalk Posted October 14, 2018 Report Posted October 14, 2018 Oh, okay, I was trying to start with “taking the piss” and evolving it from there and just plain getting lost in nonexistent, fictitious etymologies... Quote

Sechtdamon Posted October 16, 2018 Report Posted October 16, 2018 I forgot to tell you yesterday... Now I'm qualified and registered enterpreneur!!! Course has been finished. Also, the lecturer (asst. Prof. Aydın Kayabaşı) likes me and my business idea, he became my Mentor. Things are going good. Only selling the hecking speakers left between me and 1st phase of my dreams. Thanks for your support guys! 8 2 Quote

Hopstretch Posted October 19, 2018 Report Posted October 19, 2018 You don't get to say this every day, but I bought (most of) a goat from a guy right around there in Leigh. We made curry out of it. Goat curry is the tits. Quote
Grahame Posted October 19, 2018 Report Posted October 19, 2018 Can Confirm. If you like living dangerously, we visited a hole in the wall Indian in the tenderloin once. Goat Curry was only on the Menu Thursdays when a van delivered the goats, or some such. Recollection is hazy. Quote
SeaWolf Posted October 21, 2018 Report Posted October 21, 2018 Nice mid morning to early afternoon ride A bit tired after that so I'll switch to something a little less physically demanding until it starts to get dark.. 4 2 Quote
