Who doesn't love a good joke made on the internet? The ability to deeply reach many people in a way no one else can is truly a beautiful aspect of internet culture. And if paired with a complementary image and turned into a meme (gasp), what more could you ask for? That is top-tier humor that we will hopefully never tire of.
Therefore, to enrich your gag galleries, we have curated a list of jokes originally shared on an Instagram account called "madeinpoortaste," created by the self-proclaimed UK-based meme dealer. So if you, dear Pandas, are ready for some quality serotonin high, these unapologetically made in poor taste jokes might just do it for you.

But between food, rent and various other expenses it costs too much to live as well. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

I had a thoroughbred mare who laid like this all the time in her box and outside. She even snored. She was lent out to a young rider, and I warned her about it. She got many calls that she was sick/dead! She went on to compete at national level eventing and was the most relaxed, intelligent horse I've met. Died at 27 while doing what she loved most; trail riding. ❤️
Awww, sugar🥰 there’s a mini horse down the road from me named “Maple Stirrups” and I think it’s the funniest name ever!
Sugar is so incredibly smart. I didn't realise horses could be like this!
Good stuff. A horse that knows it's not just a big toy for self-centred people.
It's all fun and laughter when they make the 'jokes' but if the women joke back it's suddenly no longer funny
Who's joking? 5th grade bets are the most sacrosanct of all.
Load More Replies...That guy definitely had poor taste, Megatron is a great name for a first born. You dodged a bullet.
he didn't like the name, so why proceed? the relationship was doomed to fail anyway
What woman in her right mind wants a serious relationship with a guy who didn’t love the Transformers cartoon from the 90s? (joke. Also, yes, I am ignoring the modern trash movies as I am old.)
Load More Replies...I think I've said it before: I'd date and marry her, we have the kid, name him/her Megatron as promised, but only if I get to name the second child Optimus Prime. Ooooh, the comedy we would get when both those kiddos get into a fight... XP
I suspect he had a similar pact that forces him to name his first born "Optimus". It was never going to work out...
Why Do We Like Jokes Made in Poor Taste So Much?
Call them low-brow, cheesy, or simply made in poor taste jokes, it all means the same—a joke that is so obvious, so painfully dad-like, that we cannot contain ourselves from laughing at its stupidity.
And that is all well and fine! For one, these made in poor taste funny jokes are excellent in relieving any and all tension that might arise from the topic they discuss or the situation they are shared in. And if a dash of silliness can do that, then why the heck not?
Also, jokes made in poor taste can be excellent as a bonding agent in social situations. After all, stripping down the guards with a silly joke not only makes other people laugh but also gives them a chance to bond over something as equals. Be as it may, even those with a penchant for sophisticated jokes will find something relatable in these down-to-earth gags.
Lastly, these made in poor taste funny posts that you see on our list are, first and foremost, all about good-natured humor, and we bet every one of us can do with a bit more of that in our lives!
don't tell me dude never time travelled before?! how basic
Load More Replies...Literally the same exact thing happened to me, a while back I had money to spend and wanted to purchase some booze but was too lazy to walk the mile and a half to the liquor store so I ordered from instacart. Guy shows up an hour later. “Are you Anthony Paolillo?”, “Yes I am”, “Date of Birth.”, “Feb. ‘97”, “That’s 1997 right??”, “Well gee you tell me, do I look like I was born in 1897???” 🙄
He just had a hard time processing the fact that this can be the birthdate of an almost 30 year-old person. As a Gen X born in the 1970's I get confused about that quite often.
It's like when someone uses the phrase "turn of the century" and you automatically think of the year 1900. I'm still getting used to the fact that I was alive for the most recent one!
Load More Replies...I work at a doctors office, sometimes when a patient ask for their appointment time, I tell like 10:30, the proceed to ask pm or am?
I was in the hospital recently and wrote the year as 1896 on the intake form. I wish I could blame the head injury.
I was signing something recently and wrote 1900, not 1990!
Load More Replies...well there is a story of a 107 year old person that got a letter stating that it was about time to start going to school, and to please show up at a certain adress at a given date.
LOL that is exactly what I told my preteens the other day :-D
Load More Replies...Hey, that means that sex education has improved since I went to school.
That’s good, but if this was the first time the kid heard about it it also means some parents are not teaching their kids about sex. This should not be only the school’s responsibility.
Load More Replies......whereas my nephew (10 at the time) found the topic intrigung and politely inquired with his parents if he could see it in practice. 🥴
My 7 year old son asked me a similar question. After explain the act to him (we have always been very open and honest about bodies and sex. If he asks, we answer) He was silent for a moment, and then looked at me and said "you said that adults can have sex for fun, does that mean you and dad have it for fun?" when i replied "yes" he then asked "well, why haven't I ever seen you do it" I then had to explain that it was a private, intimate act. LOL
Load More Replies...When I was a child, I used to hold the sincere belief that my parents only had secks three times ever. Once to make me, another time to make my sister, and one more time in between when my mom had a miscarriage. I refused to acknowledge that it could be a recreational activity.
Children do usually think the concept of having sex is gross or strange to start of with.
I mean, anything exposed to a person for the first time is somewhat werid so it's natural.
Load More Replies...Well, child, they (presumably) formed you via the act, so does that make you the product of two disgusting people? XD
and then we're.....all products of two disgusting people??
Load More Replies...I would’ve participated and try to catch that champagne spray with my mouth wide open

She was lucky that the customer who had ordered champagne actually owned a F1 team and hired her on the spot.
Load More Replies...not a "great" school, but a small one to which you must go barefoot
Load More Replies...I had such crushes on these guys. And tbf I still would say yes if any of them asked.
I saw Dominic Monaghan and Peter Jackson at a cafe. Made eye contact with DM. Did not disturb them, though. I really wanted to tell them how much their work meant to me and also wanted to give them their privacy so 🤷♀️
Bravo to him. Twice. First for limiting his use of instacrap, and secondly for actually finding something there that was of any value, which must be a first.
Idk, personally I find the vast amount of pictures and videos of foxes, whales, turtles, and other sea creatures very valuable.
Load More Replies...All I do is post (infrequent) photos of my pets and check out the Kitten Lady’s latest foster kittens. So I guess it’s just a cat/kitten photo/story delivery service for me XD
I like kitties. unfortunately my wife does not......sigh. She likes dogs, as i do, but stull not interested in finding a pet.... sigh.
Load More Replies...That’s… that’s exactly what I use facebook for (each time muttering about why they don’t just put it on their website).
Kept wondering what the X was when it popped up on my phone....deleted it, found out it was Twitter...no regrets
my wife only uses Instagram to send pictures of cute animals to our daughter. Literally all she does. Before we go to sleep she'll pull out her phone and show me all the puppies and kittens and baby goats.
I'm an 80s kid and I'd never heard that song before in my life until ST. Everyone acts like it was a huge hit. Never heard of it or her but good on her for making bank today for it!!!
You must have been living under a rock, I loved it then and love it now.
Load More Replies...Lucky, too. For every story like hers (she took a risk doing it all herself) there are thousands of others where people just as talented worked just as hard and just didn't make it, sometimes even with the help of professionals.
Load More Replies...Saying she's living off one song is - at least we know Shane watched Thinger Strangs. Kate Bush debut album was crammed with hits and epic songs, and she had more to her name just one song. Even after stopped touring she recorded and released great albums.
80's kid and from the US...my friends and I loved this song we practically lived at our local record store so we got to hear all the new stuff as it was released. I think I still have the single 45 somewhere...i don't remember seeing cds back in 85 I don't think those were popular until 88-90.
This is just a thing about America that I can't get my head round. I'm sure staff in other supermarkets would be more productive if allowed to sit while scanning. It works everywhere else
Load More Replies...But they'd only open 1 or 2 lanes and it'd still take hours to get through
Not sitting is an American thing, here in Belgium they are allowed to sit down.
Take all the Chik-Fil-A employees and put them in TSA. People would enjoy going through security. (Also, f*ck Chik-Fil-A as a business.)
Yep, and used to a stressful/fast-paced environment. I know some people who used to work there in their teens because they thought it would look good on their resume. They were right.
Load More Replies...Or even worse - Autism & Adhd! Aahahhh too much!
Load More Replies...Let me introduce you to the wonders of online shopping. No lines, no bra necessary, no purse to weigh down your shoulder and you set your own music, if any.
Forced to do it? I believe that. "you must ask every customer for their email! Or else..."
Load More Replies...There is this service, where you can just make up anything and following it with @lortemail.com, and it will create that email account which anybody can access. Works great when you need a burner-mail for a onetime use and you want to avoid them spamming your regular inbox.
Load More Replies...Sure, I'll give you my fake ones. I have a ton of them. Honest question here, why ask for an email address for a receipt?
To save paper and send you the receipt electronically.
Load More Replies...I agree with this completely..... However, grammatically I am cringing. And I'm not normally a stick in the mud about it.
A few years ago I put my cat in a cattery while I was having work done on my flat and paid through PayPal using my cat's name as the reference, as the cattery owner requested. My cat's name is Isis, after the goddess, and I had to explain this to PayPal to get my account unblocked as they thought I was supporting a terrorist group.
Bet that was a tad awkward. Awesome name for a cat though, cats are after all gods and goddesses
Load More Replies...My friend wrote me a check once that said… Thanks for the BJ’s. For anyone who doesn’t know that’s a wholesale store. Obviously that’s what he meant to right?? RIGHT????
There was this car that was parked at my workplace and for some reason which (I have now forgotten) I needed to figure out who it belonged to. The licencen plate began with BJ followed by some letters and a bit naively, I thought I might have a chance by googling that, just as you can figure out who owns a certain phone number. A piece of advige, don't google things starting with BJ on your work PC. Likewise, if you are looking of a tube made from PolyOxyMetylene, abriviated to pom, dont' google pom tube.
Load More Replies...So putting down ‘Child Support’ when I have to send my wife money for the cats vet bills isn’t a good idea?
Yes, we used to add the title "protection money". The bank questioned that,indeed
In what country/universe a mortgage lender has access to the payment logs from a borrower?
Ever heard of "bank statements", you know those things you provide to money lenders to prove your financial status, those things that show who/what you pay and the payment reference
Load More Replies...Idc, I will join some of the few people who are friends with COVID.
Well, they spent $125 million on it. Would have been a waste.
Load More Replies...It would have been cancelled. William would not be allowed to have his coronation before Charles was buried.
Being factual? No, they'd have to cancel. It's often said that the new King becomes so as soon as the old one dies but this is not true. They have to be 'proclaimed' King and this requires politicians including ex PMs to gather in order to do so. They now do this in every part of the kingdom although that part isn't required..
Nah, apart from protocol and stuff, they’d have had another go at getting a half decent concert show together.
I mean, it's all paid for, everybody's gonna be there already…… 🤷🏻♀️
They would have to go with William.. It's what the monarchy does. unless..... they would continue with the Queen Camilla.. then when she passes it's William's turn..
I tell our Alexa “thank you” on a regular basis. Just covering my äss for the inevitable robot uprising. She’ll remember.
Mine has already got attitude with me. At lunchtime yesterday, I asked Alexa to tell me what something meant. She finished it with, “Did that answer your question?”. I replied “No”. Her response? “Goodnight, talk to you tomorrow.”.
Load More Replies...Everybody should do that. Politeness costs nothing and is a good habit to aquire
When that robot demands I turn right in 400 feet, I usually mutter a kinda mad, "Yes ma'am!".
I use Siri on my phone quite a bit. I almost always say Please when I ask for something and Thank You when a task is completed. My DH literally just asked me the other day if I said Thank You to a Bot. Yeah, I did.
When I would ask my kitchen Google speaker a question I would always preface it with OK Google Please....and then ask my question. I would get the answer along with "Thank you for asking so nicely"
When my sister was in 3rd grade, she wrote an essay on the colony of Virginia but throughout the entire thing, she misspelled Virginia as "Vagìna". So it read like "The colonists rejoiced when they landed in Vagìna." and "The crops were plentiful in Vagìna." The teacher called our mother that night, from home, CRYING with laughter 😂
My daughter told us her music teacher’s name was “Mr. Handsome” and I was like “wow, thats quite a name to live up to.” Turns out it’s Mr. Hanson.
They never do. You can say penis and vagina as much as you want. But if you want to talk about your friend W!lly or your last name is C0x? Forget about it! :)
Load More Replies...I have a friend whose surname is Dix, but when she is teaching she uses her mum's maiden name, Thompson because of course kids will find Dix hilarious.
My daughter has mild hearing loss and during her school life so far she's told us about "Mrs Clippers" (Clifford) "Miss Register" (no idea) and my personal favourite "Mrs Bear Hairs" (Fairhurst).
I have a kid at my work called Jamari, but most of the kids think it's Jumanjii!
Load More Replies...My child’s high school secretary’s name was Ms Titus , just imagine all the kids pronouncing it, I actually feel bad for her
In that case, Googleling Benedict Cumberbatch trying to say "pinguin" might also help alot 💞
That is funny…at least the picture is. I am also allergic to bee and other insect stings, and it’s not so funny when it’s me.
Depends how many f@#cks are given. Could be f@#ck’s sake or f@#cks’ sake
Load More Replies...I think neither "for fúcks sake" nor "for fúck sake" is correct, but "for fúck's sake". Also, BP, for fúck's sake, stop this bullshít censoring.
The psychological state of f**k is singular so I always use 'for f**k sake's' with the 's' at the end. It's a bit immature to individually count multiple f***s like peas on a dinner plate. My state of f**k is more like a dump dish or casserole with either all the f***s or no f***s given.
I never have before, but that's how I'll hear it from now on.
Load More Replies...Very like that Victoria Wood newsreader sketch "We would like to apologise to viewers in the North. It must be awful for them"
My family made billions selling the rare mineral 'Concrete' to Birmingham Council in the 60's and 70's
I'm from Birmingham. My friend from London says that there's a large sign over the motorway out of London that just says 'The North' "That's not a direction mate - it's a f***g warning!"
YES FINALLY !! I saw two of these signs on different visits, i took a picture because i thought it was hilarious, like a warning. THE NORTH. while the others are normally written cities. None of any of my UK friends thought it was funny. Glad im at least not the only person who noticed :-D
Load More Replies...I give my deepest love and support to all those living in Birmingham lol
I have a feeling this applies whether you live in the US or the UK. I know it definitely does for the US....

Load More Replies...My dad does NOT respond to anything I send him. Explained to him it would be nice to reply sometimes and he was like, "why? I've seen it and I have no questions". He's 85 and his communication si becoming more and more..uhm... efficient LOL
Weird,I lived in a typical 2 parent household, and yet my mom taught me all these things.
my dad doesn't even type answers now if he can help it. i can tell he's started using the autoreplies, because he would never choose to put a thumbs up in a response. but it's marginally less 'IDGAF' than his normal responses so i'll take it :P
Try setting your dad’s phone for voice to text. As I’ve gotten older, it’s harder for me to type in the letters or to see the keyboard so my son-in-law set this up in my settings, and it has made a huge difference for me.
Load More Replies...I worked night shift and this would happen every once in a while - someone would accidentally sleep through most of their shift because they set their alarm for a.m., etc. We all understood, even though it sucked to pick up their work. Nights are hard.
Load More Replies...When I was a grocery cashier, a fellow employee showed up two hours late for her shift. Later, I overheard her talking to someone on the phone. She was baffled why management was angry with her. "I *thought* I was only an hour late to work! Turned out I was actually two hours late! I don't know why they're mad, or why they wrote me up--at least I showed up!"
I have a similar story from uni, a dude rocked up mid lecture (around 3pm) and when prompted by the professor as to why he was late, he just said he slept in. We just about died of laughter
I once played an online game, was in a group, and someone wrote "AFK 8 hrs, school. pls don't kick me" and left.
i remember telling a coworker years ago that i'd started sleeping pills from the doctor, and they said 'those can be dangerous. i know a guy once took one at 10pm, didn't wake up for 24 hours and missed his shift at HMV' i was like 'i dont know if the pill was responsible for that one...'
What's a half-eaten Easter egg? They are either eaten, or waiting to be eaten.
I think the poster is referred me to a regular size Cadbury egg, which can be a little bit too much at one time
Load More Replies...Because the surface is the same. It now has half an outside and half an inside - if it is exactly in half. If is is eaten slightly less than half, the now-to-cover area is even bigger than before. Say you have eaten 1/4 . It now has 3/4 outside and 3/4 inside left. Makes a total of 6/4 ( 1,5) Easteregg to cover. Definitely not gonna fit...
Edit : not exactly 1,5 egg - yet more than before. You'll get the thought :)
Load More Replies...Doesn't neee a science teacher. The half eaten egg actually has more surface area to cover.
Sounds very similar a half drunk bottle of wine. Doesn't exist
Load More Replies...You know how teens are-- if a look is "in," everyone must have it. It doesn't matter how dumb it actually looks.
Load More Replies...What do you want? "Oi mate, don't be a daft c*nt, issa bawbah shop, innit?" Say no more fam.
No, hes just holding it for the teacher so she can take the selfie.
Load More Replies...Honestly thought this was just the same kid photoshopped over and over for a minute
I was thinking since they’ve all been in detention with her, perhaps the school they attend is some sort of juvenile rehabilitation center and that specific haircut is part of the uniform they must wear during school hours. It may be similar to when someone enters the military, one of the first things that they do to the new recruits is shave their hair off, right down to the skin. It’s my understanding that this is done to show the recruits that everyone is on the same level; no one is any better or lower than anyone else.
Wait, I remember them really having lemon juice packets. They were by the iced tea and soda machines. I'm pretty sure that was KFC.
Blue packet with a yellow lemon wedge depicted on it, I remember these too
Load More Replies...The wipes were fresh wipes, and they do not smell like lemon they have like a fresh scent. Can’t say what they taste like.
It's sad as f@#$ that it's brave. (And it is...) it should just be passing info.. like your age or sign.. people who vilify love SUCK!!
Load More Replies...given the environment, it is even more than courageous, I wish him a good life
Pro rugby did this first and I respect the struggle that pro athletes face with such indoctrinated homophobia.
Sad that it is needed to compliment him on the bravery to do that. In a perfect world this shouldn´t even be noteworthy.
I wish him a beautiful life. It takes so much courage to come out to yourself let alone other people. Well done
I'm gay, and now I know he's gay, but I still don't like football :(
If you like american football there's the Carl Nassib fella. Only one I can remember..
Load More Replies...Well he's not the only one, theres for example Antonio Hysén (previously Anton Hysén) that came out in 2011. I hope people within different sports will be encouraged by every single one who comes out to do the same.
I was thinking of him, me being Swedish and I can't say I know of many athletes in general ..
Load More Replies...yeah, a basic salary for a NHS surgeon is anything between 52,530 - if they work 10 hours a day 5 days a week it comes up to around £20 ish
Load More Replies...I'm a phlebotomist. I'm trained to stick needles in people's veins and take their blood. My daughter has a higher salary as a bakery clerk, and my son makes more standing on the corner spinning a sign so drivers will know that houses are for sale up the street. They both deserve every penny, if not more. But it sucks that I make less doing something that required training, a national certification, and a state license. Not to mention that it's a job with risk for exposure to blood born pathogens, and there is liability involved should I mess up and stick a nerve or something.
Please add on benefits, sick, pay, vacation, pay, overtime, pay, weekend differential to your salary. You, in fact, earned a great deal more than your children who presumably will not go into your field. You know when you were training how much that investment would return in dollars and felt it was worth it.
Load More Replies...So when the western world decided on who gets the most money did we all just write a bunch of random numbers on a board and throw darts?
Meanwhile, when I worked for the courts in the US, I delivered a subpoena to a general practice doctor. He angrily informed me that appearing in court wasn't worth his time because he charges more than a thousand dollars an hour. I replied that if they heard that, the jury might let the defendant off and send him to prison instead.
From experience: the pay for government workers on both sides of the pond is complete s**t unless you're appointed by the crooks at the top.

Load More Replies...I believe the fine is separated from the payment for gas, so now you have to pay for two things.
I donate my shirts to Goodwill and pick them up the next day, washed and ironed, for 50 cents each
I thought you had to pay before you're able to get gas. At least where I live (Washington State, USA), you either pay ahead in the mini-mart by the station, or put your card in the machine before the pump is activated. If you pay in the mini-mart, you only get as much gas as you paid for before the pump stops. If you put your card in the machine, the pump will charge as it fills, and either stop (as in, stop filling AND charging) when the tank is full, or if the card maxed out.
There are three ways to get petrol in the UK: 1. Pay at pump. You put your card in, enter your pin, and pump up to £100 worth of fuel. 2. Pay at kiosk. You pump your fuel and pay inside. 3. Night pay. You go to the counter (the kiosk/shop being shut because it's night time, with only 1 employee on) and tell them how much you want and pay for it. Then you pump.
Load More Replies...here in the US we pay first if using cash... if using credit cards we swipe first... i went thru a phase of going inside to pay for my gas, coming out and driving away... several times in a row. i felt like i was being held up by these gas stations bc they wouldn't review the security footage to see i hadn't used the gas yet.
Yeah, but my dad's particular set of skills was telling the same joke over and over again for 30 years
Load More Replies...Taken is a fun film, but it perpetuates the myth of human trafficking happening through some shady organisation working internationally. Look up the stats- you're more likely to be pimped out by your own family member or boyfriend. I've travelled solo extensively as a single female and never ended up in danger. You are not going to get kidnapped by your taxi driver in PARIS.
I’m always amused that I can tell the home country of someone who calls it “going on holiday”… ‘round these here parts we call it “taking a vacation” 🤭
I'll be honest: if someone did something to my GF's daughter while she was on vacation, that location would turn into a crater
The trailer has to include thumper tying a bandana across Bambi's forehead a la Rambo. Since Bambi can't do it himself since he has hooves

Bees don't go for grass - and I can't see any wildflowers there. But I don't judge people on their gardens. Maybe she's got other priorities - not my business!
Load More Replies...The only od reason to cut grass is to feed animals. I'm very glad my city stopped obsessively mowing the grass, there are flowers and insects, less water evaporates, everyone's happy. When the grass is cut when it's warm and sunny, the rest of it dies and I don't think seeing yellowish, brownish lawns in the city is good for anyone.
"ughh your back yard is boring". Get with it @ '3 dashes'

Amy Nickell Turner, mad as a box of frogs. Often on News programmes for her opinions of current affairs. Quite possibly some of the most Batsh#t crazy cr4p you will ever hear. She just says outrageous stuff to stay relevant. Oh yes.....In My Opinion, of course.

I was checking on Google what means "yh". I wonder how much time or effort one is saving from writing "yh" instead of "yeah". 🤦♀️ I am afraid that soon I won't be able to read without google search for non-sense abbreviations.
I ALWAYS hated that. Like where/how did you want me to carry that? In my armpit or the crack of my a*s?
At first I thought this was referring to an actually pet bird like a parrot or something, and thought "wow the bird keepers have really lost it". But it turns out it's just me who has lost it
it's not just you; we may be on the "wrong side of the pond" for this one.
Load More Replies...“Bird” and “hen” are slang terms from (I believe, forgive and correct if I am wrong) the UK. It means “woman”/gf(??) Hence “hen party” for “girls’ night out” or a bachelorette party.
Load More Replies...Because you used 'ya' twice, I think of you as the coolest person that ever lived.
For the US, from insurance.com: "[Regarding teens or seniors accident rates] Although both have a stereotypical reputation for being poor drivers, the statistics are clear. Teen drivers are far riskier on the road than are senior drivers. In fact, National Safety Council (NSC) statistics show that teens are overrepresented in car crashes, including fatal crashes
This is why in Victoria, Australia, we have a probationary system when you get your licence. Four years with added restrictions before you can your full license. You have to have 0 blood alcohol, cannot use a mobile phone, and for your first year there are restrictions on how many passengers you can have, among other things.
Load More Replies...When you turn 30 and reflect back on your 18yr old self driving, you’ll know why. Even if your not a hoon
personal experience, 24 years of driving, (aouch...), witnessed many accidents. young : danger for themself, senior : danger for everybody else
Yeah, they are both driving poorly but the teen does it at high speed (and E = mV^2 /2, kinetic energy scales with square of speed).
Load More Replies...Damn near 90 to 1 every fatality crash I've been on it's been teens over old folks
Yes, you are! Especially your false assumption of being a good driver already with virtually no experience makes you prone to accidents.
Because you are male, under 25, and not fully mentally finished, yet. Get married, the rates miraculously go down!
Seniors just don't drive as much, we done been there, we ain't goin back!
Ditto, I have to put my tv on medication in case I accidentally watch any of it.

For my fellow Americans, a “stone” is a measurement of weight equaling 14 lbs. (thank you to Richard Garriott and the Ultima computer game series for teaching me this when I was a wee lass!) So, 25 stone is 350 lbs.
And now for the rest of the world, how much kg is 1 stone?
Load More Replies...I wish it was more regular people instead of ‘influencers’, ‘business entrepreneurs’ etc promoting their c**p for fame and typecasting only ‘TV hot’ people. It would actually be interesting then.
I think it should be people in their late thirties, early forties, who maybe want to go for a hike together, make a roast, do some crafting, learn knitting, that sort of thing. Then I’d watch it. I might even apply!

Or if you worked there, Anything Simple Doesn't Apply. Or the other version was Another sh1t Day Ahead.... Trust me after 28 years there both work
Small reminder - most UK supermarkets now have free WiFi for customers: Lidl, Asda, and most Tesco's have it (I'm too poor for Sainsbury's or Waitrose so can't comment!)
Had to do a Sainsbury's and a Tesco order for various reasons (unfortunately), lots of things were cheaper in Sainsbury's

Similarly, we're told that a spy satellite can read a newspaper headline from orbit. And yet street level CCTV can barely make out someone's face from six feet away.
For those that don't know. During Covid lockdown in the UK you would get fined if you had gatherings of people other than the people you live with. Boris Johnson the then Prime Minister had a party & nothing was done about it.
Probably best to learn now that us regular folk are subject to different rules than the rich and famous.
Yes, the issue is the kid got punished for throwing the party whereas the PM (who also threw a party) wasn't punished. They BOTH should have been punished equally.
Load More Replies...Two wrongs don't make a right. Notice that Johnson was shortly later kicked out of office.
Before I make it to 60, we'll have either fixed everything and live in a eutopia, or society will have collapsed and the world will be a barren wasteland. Either way, that's my retirement plan.
Nope. The depressing reality is that we'll still be living in a broken world with a broken society and believing that the world is about to end. Such is the way of humanity.
Load More Replies...My last employer offered early retirement to people who had worked there long enough. I took it at 3/4 retirement. Best decision ever.
My husband asked me how long I was planning to live, my response "I was kinda shooting for next Thursday".
I keep saying I will retire when I am 150 y/o and not before. I have another 80 years to go.
I planned on 59 but seriously, as a teacher, I couldn't make one more year.
I personally drink drink Merlot, and pretend it's blood. It makes the experience feel more vampire-y.

"I did, but I was told it was 'inappropriate'. All I was doing was supporting my niece at her swimming gala! You're gonna have a go at a guy who stripped to his trunks to cheer on an 8-year-old girl?" There's your answer, and the problem.
Load More Replies...Well, tbf, I'd enjoy watching the Jurassic Park films while dressed in a dinosaur costume
Let the men have their little joys. The majority of them are doing a great job, and in return they dont really ask for more than one room in the house and play time with his boys on the telly.
So, you guys across the pond have morons leading your government like us, eh?
Yeah, well here in the US, a major political party is still considering as a presidential candidate someone who tried to falsify an election, fomented an insurrection, and has been arraigned, arrested, and booked on multiple criminal charges. Worse yet, there is a huge part of the population that worships him.
On the plus side, one of the eight non-orange GOP candidates accepts global warming is a fact.
Load More Replies...it's so hard to take criticism of an elitist government seriously from someone who has benefitted from that elitist system.
This is what happens when you get older. It's sad if you're the healthy one in the bunch. Every week my grandmother would tell me about all her friends and acquaintances who passed on. It's why it's important to make friends in different age groups.
I have people in my phone who died years ago but for some reason I don't want to delete them.
This senior coworker (72f) tells me one time, she often scrolls the obituaries of her newspaper to see if she knew anyone that passed on
Working in social care, we’d all stand around in the office scanning the obituaries for any of our caseload as soon as the local paper came out!
Load More Replies...Although google gives me a 6 year age gap between her and LD latest. Probably a different one from whoever he dated in Feb when the post was made. Ewww regardless.
Load More Replies...I don't know. I think young women can easily be groomed and manipulated by older men. Especially famous ones.
Load More Replies...The stars of the HBO series "The Last of Us"; Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey.
Load More Replies...She can still be manipulated, especially since he's famous, rich, and powerful
Load More Replies...So Leo is 29 years older than his current girlfriend, 48 & 19. Hope she knows she has an expiration date (25). Basically, he is shallow, vain, doesn't love them, they are sex holes for his lust. He fears being vulnerable, that's his insecurity. It would be different if the woman was in her 30's or 40's. Seriously, how compatible can you possibly be with someone that young at his age? Well, if you are emotionally immature or desire control.....
And it’s even harder to work out if you don’t know that Chris Martin is a musician from the band Coldplay, who did a song called “Yellow”.
This is where Aussies and Kiwis shine - we can, of course, understand Aussie, and we can translate Kiwi, British and American slang without missing a beat!
Canadians shine at it too! We grab our language from all those countries plus throw in some French for fun.

But, gaff or house or whatever... Why OP is mad at him for painting it yellow? Hadn't agreed before about the colo(u)r? Or is this a joke I (italian) don't understand?
Harvard? What's that? A nice local community college?
Load More Replies...I have a Miskatonic University Arkham Massachusetts hoodie, wanted to go study there but didn’t get accepted. >.>
It's a trick. Missouri folk voted for Trump in the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections. So, by definition they couldn't round up enough sentients to justify having a university in that state.
This is just a suggestion, leave them to it and buy a hoodie from somewhere else.
For me anything other than University of American Samoa Law School is worn inside out.
Kmart etc does the same in Australia. I've always thought it was weird.
To be fair, I don't think a UTAS hoody would sell so well.
Load More Replies...What??? I'm Aussie, but like, half our shows are CBBC. And like how is that fair? What the actual heck?
Load More Replies...That's just completely wrong. CBCC was everyone's childhood. We also can't share passwords on Netflix. What's next?
I always find it interesting talking to people who watched pay tv as opposed to free to air stations (or even commercial vs non-commercial) as kids. We never saw SpongeBob, powerpuff girls etc, instead it was things like Eugine Sandler PI, Good for You and Round the Twist.
CBBC isn't news though, it's all kids shows and cartoons. Basically their version of the Disney channel.
Load More Replies...And then there was Huw Edwards who was specifically requested by Herself to cover her funeral.
US to UK transplant here. Yeah, Primark is a lot like Ross or Target.

Barley see them? Does that mean you see them on a wheat to wheat basis?
You have a rye sense of humor. I'd say more but I'm afraid I'll go too farro and get bulger. Don't want to offend anyone.

Load More Replies...Actually no, I keep a chunk of my butter on the counter, it is always soft and spreadable, and can last up to 10 days, maybe even more, but I finish it off in that time😁 in summer a bit shorter though, but you can count on a week at least.
Load More Replies...We keep butter in the fridge, because it can get really warm here, Toast is warm, so butter melts easily.
Thanks for the reminder - I need to buy a deeper blue Danish butter cookie tin - have to use a rubber band to keep all the sewing gear in atm - need to get a bigger one this Christmas!
Load More Replies...I'll give you clue, it's same number as the bus from Victoria to North Finchley...
German audiences at concerts just stand there motionless until it's time to clap after the songs. The Portuguese go wild because they're thankful that bands don't just play in Spain as their western Europe limit.
Thats because alcohol kills braincells, and theres no way on earth she's gonna be able to understand the concept of negative numbers.

You could ring up, and the robot voice would say “your account has a balance of” but then because you were hungover you thought it was saying “you’re a c*nt”.
When I was first self-sufficient the last three days of the month we were skint, so at 1am on payday we'd run to the autobank, draw out some cash, go to the burger place next door and eat. They got so used to it they'd let us eat for free that day. I will always be grateful.
I’m just impressed they have that much money left! Now, my bank just sends me a text saying you’re using your overdraft.
It's okay - food doesn't just suddenly become rotten and full of maggots at the exact moment its expiration date arrives.
I guess it’s my last time here, made chicken last night with bbq sauce that expired 2021, then had peanut butter and jelly (jelly also expired same year) 🤷🏻♀️
Morrisons recognises that like at Easter, some of us are greedy pigs and will be being second and third lots..
Australian here. Lived for a year in London. I can't imagine how anyone could put the words "UK" and "heat wave" into the same sentence.
They had temps going up to 40 in July. I'd say that counts.
Load More Replies...Just to put things into context, because I know a lot of people that think UK heat waves are not that hot; I mean 25 degrees isn't particularly hot... is it??? A fairly good, less than 10 min video I've seen is by an Aussie, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMqkuAb-HYg
We had a massive jump too, because there are no paper mills in the country any more
Load More Replies...I keep on thinking of literal birds. I haye this slang and I don't understand y
Me, too and I'm a man. I don't need to prove that I have testosterone.
Poor younger siblings, I did a clothesline on my lil brother as he was running back from the kitchen to watch his cartoons , yep it’s not fake
scran being slang for food in the UK, as a verb it means to eat
Most entertaining part of this thread has been the Americans asking what all the slang means :)
As an American, watching the other Americans ask what things mean so I don't have to look completely stupid was very helpful.

This is like being back in school. People fighting over such minut things when the entire world is being destroyed.
