Additionally, I didn't even say I was offended. I was more taken aback than anything else, I was about 19 at the time. Furthermore, I pointed out it was a very uncommon name - there's about 20 of us in the UK in total.

"Oh I know some surgeons, they're all idiots!" Brilliant. Well done. I bet you're the kind of moron who lives next door to a black person, so can't be racist too.

Not sure I've ever had eggnog. Am I doing life wrong?

Also....buerre blanc! So difficult! So delicious! Why would you turn that down?!

I once worked in a hospital, the same one as my dad, but as a lowly receptionist. This nurse was so horrible to me, shouted at me, belittled me etc. The next day she comes in, all sweetness and light, calling me darling etc., as she's worked out my surname (which is a pretty unusual one) is the same one as my dad's,…

Oh I'm that sort of crap person who has had acid reflux since birth, who just eats what they want and then chokes down omnepresol/antacids like there's no tomorrow. You probably have it worse than me though!

I broke up with a long term boyfriend in January, not because December was an 'unacceptable' time, but just because we'd gone home for the holidays, and I felt I owed him an in-person break up. If we were spending time together in December, I would have just done in then rather than drag it out! You did the good thing…

They shouldn't really accept all your invitations and then cancel last minute then. They should just say no to begin with.

I have the Fraggle Rock record!!

God. Remember when you couldn't go anywhere without that damn fish blasting out 'don't worry be happy' or some other equally irritating song. Be careful - my mum has now bought a santa that does a little dance and flashes and generally winds up the dog, as it sings 'Merry Christmas baby'. They're multiplying

Haha remember the term kiss virgin, that was a terrible time.

This is what I've never understood - I sometimes will put bags down, esp if I'm carrying multiple bags, on the seat next to me, only when the bus is half empty. I always have an eye out, and lift them onto my lap if it looks like the bus is filling up, i.e. way before someone requests it.

Tell me more of these gyms with pizza nights....

I'll tell you how this backfires though - I have an acquaintance that does this all the time, accepts everything and then 80% of the time flakes off. And the consequences? He stops being invited to stuff.

YES - My birthday is a joyous day to the whole world. Much better than that dude's that cropped up on the 25th. Mine is understated, yet powerful.

Only thing I want for Christmas is....to get out of the greys! Or some super headphones. Big old headphones would be amazing, for avoiding everyone with.

The best part of the article was this:

To the British, "just slop some shit together and throw it in a pie" is high cuisine.

The thing that annoys me is when naturally skinny people roll their eyes at fat people, and say really helpful things like 'just eat a bit less! work out a bit more!' Just because YOU have to do absolutely no work, doesn't mean everyone else does. If I eat the amount of calories I'm supposed to in a day, the Irish…

I find it interesting you say that - I was given the first one for my 9th/10th birthday or so, and I was growing with the books (although Harry and Co. were a little older than me) and by the time that massive gap came about, when JK wanted to break her own arm to avoid the pressure, I found that the one that came out…
