  • When they got banned, we got stuck with paper ones for 25c

    Cheeky bastards! We had a single use for €0.25 for a while but that’s long gone. Paper bags are still free. They’re generally small unless you’re buying clothes or whatever. You definitely wouldn’t be bagging the weekly shop with them but most places offer free boxes from the shelf stocking leftovers.

    They also released $15 “washable paper bags” that I don’t understand who is the target audience.

    Very, very rich people is the answer. Surely the amount of energy to wash one is not that far off a fresh paper bag.


  • You say that now but that sounds exactly like every fucker I’ve ever heard with a hangover saying “Jaysus, Mary and Joseph and all his carpenter friends I’m never touching a pint again.”

    As my father used to say “hunger is good sauce”.

    Four pints in and no dinner I’d gobble that down. GOBBLE IT. Best sandwich I’ve ever had at that point I’d wager.






  • 100% the same. I never even think about it. It’s just baked into my brain.

    The only time I don’t is leaving my driveway. We’re corner house on a quiet cul-de-sac so it just doesn’t occur to me.

    People leaving roundabouts on the first exit who don’t indicate before entering are the ones that annoy me most. They will watch me waiting to enter or slow down to stop as they approach and literally not lift a finger to help.

    Roundabout = indicator you donkey. There’s literally no legal way to use one without it (here anyway).






  • I accept that 100%. I’ve seen a decent bit the US and it’s such an enormous lump of land with so many different people and cultures that anyone trying to lump them together into some homogenous mass is off their rocker.

    Sure you can travel an hour on a train in Europe and be in a totally different world culturally. The distance for those changes is bigger in the US but holy moly do they exist.
