sharkyvilla Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Bit of a personal one, I've suffered with eczema on and off for years and one of the worst places has been me nipples, anyway they've got to the point where they're almost always hard and poke through my clothes and it's so annoying. From now on I'll have to either wear a thick jumper or stick plasters on to hide them I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now When I Wor A Lad, that name was pronounced "Air-an". But now it seems to have become "Arran". Modern life is rubbish. It's always been Arran to me. "Air-an" is the american pronunciation 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Silvers Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 People who say "that's a bit of me that is". Wtf, almost as bad as people saying yodelling pizza advert are so cringe. STFU. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much more interesting then the boring, everyday ones which are really common like Alex, Ben or Rob etc. I had my name before it was popular #HipsterLife Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My therapist said to let it go and not dwell on it! Nah, I was just in the thread again and it made me think that when I was at my various schools and colleges, I don't think i knew anyone else called Alex. It was a name that seemed to become popular later on. I'm trying to think when though and If there was a particular reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So in theory they were born in 1970. Predates Hurricane Higgins and based on that unsure where the interest came from. Perhaps a tribute to Princess Alexandra. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He and the other drum major in his high school marching band were both named Alex. Not only that, both have a surname that's a color. Our son started out as Alexander and my wife and I called him Xander more often than not, but he started calling himself Alex when he reached his teens. I liked to call him A-dog when he was younger, but he doesn't like it. i miss that. Maybe I'll start referring to you as A-dog for nostalgia's sake. You cool wit dat? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
