I do actually get a line stuck in my head repeatedly - it's Tony Soprano saying "What-ya-gonna-do?" every time something goes comically wrong.

Ha ! My ear worm is the constant repeated line from Prisoner. Doreen says “wotcher gonna do, Bea ?” every blinking episode.
Congratulations and hugs to @Ladderedtights and Baby Tights ❤

Congrats to @Ladderedtights on the arrival of baba tights 🥰

My earworm is Larry David saying "pretty, pretttty, prettttyyyyy good" when things are good. Or bad. I'm maverick like that.

Likewise. In my hospital at least we actually have plenty of PPE (we didn’t at the start but that’s a whole other story), I pay £35/ month to have pretty much guaranteed parking directly outside my work place (which I think is reasonable) and I’ve already had my first vaccine. Yes I’d love a pay rise (who wouldn’t?!) but I’m conscious I’ve been in work throughout a financially uncertain time for many people whilst also being able to take advantage of nhs discounts and freebies! All I want is for people to act responsibly and avoid non-essential contact!
Where Jack is constantly tone deaf, I think this is pitch perfect.

That Man is on Southend Pier again. Very odd she's never been invited on...

The loos at the end are chemical toilets (from memory?) local infrastructure isn’t up to a mass poisoning event

Congrats @Ladderedtights . Since last night 'thunderclap' has bothered me, I have remembered my physio used this term earlier this year. I was having horrid (down playing unlike Jack) headaches it turned out it was from issues with my neck. Will she ever actually help a 'cause' not just put stuff on social media for her own gain. I don't post much but read everyday and want to say thanks to everyone for everything this thread brings.

Exactly this. I am often being told I have OCD Just because I like things clean and tidy. (you've all seen my drawers 😂) I do not have OCD, which is a serious illness.

I once had a room in a shared house and one of the others had OCD. It made her life an absolute nightmare, it was no fun for the rest of us either. It used to take her over an hour to leave a room.
I have colleagues who say “I’m a bit OCD” when they mean they’re fussy (there’s nothing wrong with being neat, tidy and particular). When , on the odd occasion, I’ve said they don’t have OCD ( they’re fussy) and that it’s a serious debilitating condition they look at me like I’m being a nasty cow.

Same with things like bipolar. Narks me. I dont have bipolar but i do experience awful fast mood cycles (bpd) and its not funny.

She must be thrilled with Linda McCartney because while Veganuary don’t want her using their hashtag, I doubt they’re going to want to risk saying that to the Linda McCartney people. It’s a far better collab partner than I thought she’d have.
