Thursday seems a little on edge and not quite on the same planet

[Rachey]

We used to say couch growing up. I much prefer sofa tho.

I've just downloaded the been NHS Covid tracking app that's only available on the isle of wight, because we are that cool.

It's so far taken 25 minutes to install and still isn't done

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I don't know when I stopped using the word settee.

 

[lolly]

Oh God SETTEE is so common, isn’t it. Naturally I’ve been known to use it quite often

It's definitely one which EXPOSES someone

Like using SERVIETTE instead of NAPKIN

Oh GOD YES!

 

[Dark Carnival]

I'm fist deep into reading about tragic sixties gays at the moment. This dated furniture chat it's putting me RIGHT INTO the homes they got chucked out of.

I genuinely thought you were talking about TRAGIC gays as in MilkyBarKid for a second there.

 

[Tisch]

My family uses serviettes. And KITCHEN TOWEL instead of KITCHEN ROLL

 

[Tisch]

 

[Zu]

Fine thanks. I'm comfortable on this POUFFE.

I come from stock which insisted on pronouncing it POUFFEE. Not to mention Nescafé always being NESCAFF. Actually most of them STILL say “you was” so it’s a wonder that I have any savoir-faire AT ALL!

No actually tragic ones that were arrested if they had sex. Not orange 00s gais.

 

[lolly]

I trust we all have ANTIMACASSARS on our SETTEES? They are practically NUDE without them.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I come from stock which insisted on pronouncing it POUFFEE

Yup. My mother does to THIS DAY

 

[lolly]

Oh it's always POOFAY

 

[Zu]

I trust we all have ANTIMACASSARS on our SETTEES? They are practically NUDE without them.

And just think of the UNSIGHTLY SOILING!

That SO isn't a precinct! Well, the Argos is. But you're thinking of an industrial, out of town shopping centre type place. That's not a precinct AT ALL!

 

[Sheena]

Like using SERVIETTE instead of NAPKIN

COMMON!

 

[Sheena]

A serviette is the disposable version and napkin isn't, though, RIGHT? Unlike "sofa-settee" etc., they're not ACTUALLY the same thing?

 

[lolly]

when you're common they are the same thing

 

[Sheena]

when you're common they are the same thing

Well YES, I'm AWARE of THAT, but what I'm saying is that that is where it actually COMES FROM, right?

 

[lolly]

I know what a napkin is sure enough, but I'm not entirely sure what a serviette is to this day.

 

[big ron]

Ms Ron got told off for referring to it as a pouffe last year in a furniture shop. PC GONE MAD CANT CALL A SPADE A SPADE ANY MORE OMG

She should have called it a faggot instead

 

[dmlaw]

Do you see a scary-looking flat-roofed pub? If you do, you are definitely looking at a precinct.

The Southampton precinct (opposite West Quay) has ALL THREE!

 

[Sheena]

Why have faggots entirely avoided any sort of renaming?

Not that I think they SHOULD, but no one BATS AN EYELID.

 

[Sheena]

Is it called a precinct? I know where you mean, but it's NOT a precinct. It's not a pedestrianised "road" for starters. Palmerston Road in Southsea is a precinct:

I refer to it as THE PRECINCT, but I think it officially calls itself a RETAIL PARK to be fair...

 

[Lucille]

I’ve forced myself to get up early today! Well. 10am. Had a dream I was in hospital for Covid and they put me on a ketamine drip.

My family tick ALL OF these boxes. I did as well till about 2010.

 

[Tisch]

A serviette is the disposable version and napkin isn't, though, RIGHT? Unlike "sofa-settee" etc., they're not ACTUALLY the same thing?

I would've thought the other way around? You hear of 'disposable napkins' but not 'disposable serviettes'

 

[Sheena]

I refer to it as THE PRECINCT, but I think it officially calls itself a RETAIL PARK to be fair...

THAT'S the word(s) I was looking for, RETAIL PARK! Yes, it's THAT, not a precinct. Precincts are much OLDER and SHITTER usually.

 

[Sheena]

I would've thought the other way around? You hear of 'disposable napkins' but not 'disposable serviettes'

Exactly! Because the serviette is ALREADY disposable by its very nature!

 

[Sheena]

Oh I fucking LOVE language. THIS IS MY SHIT RIGHT HERE

 

[Zu]

My family tick ALL OF these boxes. I did as well till about 2010.

The horror! Are you originally from Essex?

 

[Tisch]

Fair point!

 

[Tisch]

Essix froo and froo.

My dad's family are Basildon via East London and my mum's Upminster via Dagenham.

 

[ButterTart]

Oh God SETTEE is so common, isn’t it. Naturally I’ve been known to use it quite often

I tend to use 'sofa' because I'm street, but I'm no stranger to going into the LOUNGE to sit on the SETTEE in front of the THREE BAR and have a BREW.

I also call ASDA 'the ASDA', and I don't think I'm wrong in this.

 

[big ron]

A precinct is usually a product of the 70s and made of concrete I'd wager.

 

[big ron]

Specifically pedestrianised and UNCOVERED apparently.

Honestly the way some islanders are going on about it you'd think the whole world now had access into your home
