    Why do weather forecasters/presenters say 'risk' of rain. It should be 'chance' of rain?
    You don't have a risk if winning the lottery - but then again, you don't have a chance either.
    58million would have come in handy though.

    I hate the assumption on weather forecasts that sunshine is automatically welcome and rain isn't.

    A curmudgeonly Daftest Brand Name Ever (DBNE):   an underwear company called "Intimate Portal". No joke.

    Are we (me & OH ) the only ones who can't wait for the football to finish so we can stop hearing that dreadful chant they have resurrected! It's the worst of earworms ever. ( Hope that's curmudgeonly enough for you >:) )

    People here keep asking if I'm enjoying the football.  I say I will be happy on the 16th.  Takes them a while to cotton on.

    That name is awful Fire but I do rather like "Bravissimmo" who do bras with big cups for gifted girls and women.

    Ob, that is a fine name. I think the other must be a bad Chinese translation. Or something. It did make me laugh, though. Gifted? Ok.

    Why did 'they' stop making that lovely Polyherb shampoo ...

    it smelled wonderful and made my hair so shiny  in the 60s  :/

    Squaddies preferred "Büstenhalter" those Bavarian Barmaids wafting around certainly made you forget how many Steins you had drunk.

    Dove, maybe it rebranded as Timotei. The ads had the same wafty blonde and sunny meadows. As a teenager I was convinced by the virtues of washing my hair in the middle of a corn field with a jug and a white horse cavorting in the back ground. I assumed by hair was rubbish because I didn't have a horse.
