Anyway the whopper in front of me hasn’t flattened his one and only box and he’s trying to force it in through the slot, it’s about six times the size of the slot. He tries it every which way, a queue is now forming and it’s blindingly obvious it won’t fit unless he rips it up. People are beginning to mutter because the other cardboard slot is off limits as the Guardians of the Tip are moving a new skip into place. Someone shouts “you need to rip it up mate”. “No it'll go now, you'll see”. One of the Guardians of the Tip eventually sees the commotion and comes to investigate and deals with it appropriately “Are you f***ing stupid, step aside, collapse the box and let all the people who've done it properly put their stuff in and the join the queue you've caused at the back” “No, it'll g…”. GotT has a face like thunder, dimwit eventually does as he's told. Reminds me of this weapon https://imgur.com/IuzunGe (I was hoping that would embed.

That’s not the annoying thing. The annoying things are twofold. Firstly having to compile the list, which nearly always runs to more than a page, but secondly because the LoA is mostly a list of initialisms, not acronyms. Radar and laser are acronyms, RHWR and AHS are initialisms. And then there’s the habit of people endeavouring to come up with acronyms for systems or weapons and stuff that sort of give a sense of what they are. I think the worst one that still bugs me was a test set that was called Captain Marvel, because it was an MMS Automatic RAM Verification Equipment Link. Grrr. You should have fun with it and add in some 'useful' mnemonics. Little rhymes on the back for the longer remembery stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look I Iove Christmas, but I **** hate Christmas jumpers. Stop trying to tell me I need to wear my Christmas jumper to X event. I can definitely see both sides on this one. I don't own one and I won't be going into Primark to pick up a stock one that's as funny as a burning orphanage. But I would buy a niche one online from a creator I like. Someone like Jim'll Paint It does some I wouldn't mind owning. So yeah I'm a yes on Christmas jumpers but only the cleverer ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted December 13, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted December 13, 2023 Just now, sidcow said: What exactly is fun about wearing a stupid jumper? I like fun, that isn't fun, especially when the Christmas Jumper Nazi's are on your case. What it is is false, forced fun. Oh people shouldn't be forced to wear one. If you don't want to, then don't wear one. And that's fine. But surely it's not that hard to workout why people might like to brighten up their miserable lives for a few hours by wearing funny/bright/charming jumpers for one day a year? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
