The world of a woman.

My dad got ToddleD a bag of marbles, he refers to them as "ollies" instead of marbles.

 

LadyD : I wonder why marbles are called ollies round here

Me: Must have been something from when people my dads age were growing up, something small and round comparable to a marble and the name stuck

LadyD: Do you think it might have been olives?

 

Yes, in 1960s Liverpool, County Road to be exact, olives were so plentiful that people saw marbles and instantly thought "fuck me that looks like an olive"

Who doesn't call marbles 'ollies?' Ollies,steelies(ball bearings)dobbers (worth two ollies) so you had to be hit it twice to win against an olly(worth one.)

Paulie's post is the first time I've ever heard them called that

Seriously?

 

I don't know whether its the age thing or the geographic location,or perhaps both.

Geographical location I think, none of my colleagues have heard of ollies either.

They were ollies in my Irish childhood...

Same here on the streets of Liverpool.

Was it anything to do with a circle? If so,it copied it from marbles.

I made fun of the girl at work for flirting with male and female customers on the phone and it culminated in her saying the following loudly to an otherwise entirely male office: "you like muffs in your face and I like cocks in my mouth"

 

She's just asking to never live that down.

"So, Zeb, can I call you Zeb? This isn't a witch-hunt.  We're just trying to get to the bottom of what was an unfortunately, sexist incident"

Was up early to get a train to London yesterday. I decided to get a shower downstairs to not wake everyone up. Loads and behold all my shower gel, razors and shaving cream had been moved from the bathroom downstairs.

 

Had to go back upstairs and root around in the dark in my room for them like a burglar. She then wakes up kicking off asking what I'm doing. When I explained she tells me that she moved all my stuff up into the upstairs bathroom cupboard because she was fed up of me leaving my stuff lying round in the downstairs bathroom making the place look messy. She never bothered telling me this incase I might have been looking for them.

 

I then go into the bathroom which has a creaky door and have to root around in the cupboard with my phone light on. That then wakes my son up 2 hours before he usually gets up. Got loads of texts calling me a noisy bastard waking him up. She wouldn't have it that it was her fault for moving my gear in the first place. Woman logic.

She’s had a fucking Harry Potter tattoo on her foot.

That's grounds for divorce.

They aren’t all bad. I’m on a train to Leeds and someone near me absolutely stinks of booze. Managed a sneaky glance and it’s a young girl who still looks pissed. God bless her.

[lifetime fan]

That's grounds for divorce.

 

Not even as a joke.

 

Stupid fucking bitch, it looks terrible.

[General Dryness]

She’s had a fucking Harry Potter tattoo on her foot.

She's probably spent the last few hours explaining that it's supposed to be you and not Ron Weasley but the tattoo artist wasn't very good at doing faces.

Sitting in a tiny office with two women is brilliant, this morning I've had...

 

1. Complaining about the draughty window

2. Complaining about the floor not being hoovered

3. Complaining about the bin not being emptied

4. Complaining about the fridge

5. Complaining about the kitchen sink

6. Complaining about the dishwasher

7. Complaining about the lack of a microwave

8. Complaining about the knackered lift

9. Complaining about the state of the toilets

10. Complaining about each other

11. Complaining about IT

 

All this while I'm sitting quietly doing all the fucking work.

 

There's a good case to be made that they should be staying at home to look after the bairns because as far as I can make out they contribute nothing other than moaning, bitching & talking a load of shite.

 

Sick of it.

[lifetime fan]

Twat.

Did she run every day in January too? Also, are you sure they're Harry Potter specs and not Timmy Mallett ones?
