  • Funny Status's

    A friend of mine has that Status Shuffle thingie on her Facebook, which sets status for you.

    Today's made me laugh out loud:

    Shirtie's Friend: Wonders why its called a walkie talkie, yet a vacuum isn't called a pushy sucky?

    Has anyone else seen any funnies like this?

    going off on slight tangent ... having read this post from now on the vacuum will be called a 'pushy sucky' in our household from now on.. all I need to do now is stop calling the mower 'the hoover'. About 20 years ago I had a hover mower and even after all this time my brain cannot get over the confusion it has re the words 'hoover' and 'hover'.. so I can often be overheard asking OH if he's going to 'hoover' the lawn..


    (think it must be a v and w thing because I just re-read this post and see I had typed 'mover' instead of 'mower'.

      I like Status Shuffle, but I do have to correct the spelling when I use it

        I'm not on Bookface myself, but my best friend once told me that a girl we knew from school had her status set to 'I'm very angry with my husband'.

        Does the world at large need to know that kind of thing, or do I just not understand the point of Bookface?

            In this house cutting the lawn is known as 'hoovering' because the mower makes the same noise as the Dyson!

              Yes, it definitely does. Currently I am garnering opinion on whether dunking hob nobs into golden syrup is wrong, or indeed not. We are 3 for it being a good thing, and Piskie says not. It is highly important that I find out before I attempt it.

                  Exactly; I think I've got to go with the consensus.

                  There's no point making your own hob nobs is you can't decide which fluid to dunk them into......

                    Incidentally, those beans in the picture on your blog are possibly monastic coco beans; if left longer they go black.

                        Oh I entirely agree, to dunk or not to dunk is one of the great debates of our time. Fo me it depends on the biscuit and the beverage, KitKat or Dairy Milk swirled round in my cappucino is the business!!

                        However, status' like 'I've just had a bust up with my husband and I want everyone to know about it' doesn't seem quite right to me.

                          I have a [real life] chum who is a girl and who is gay; which I don't have a problem with at all....what I do have a problem with is the gushy nonsense she sends to her OH when it is going to plan and the ridiculous gumpf when it isn't. Honestly, one day it is sticky sweet [more than a hob nob covered in syrup] and the next 'woe is me she hasn't called me I must be such a let down to everyone'.......some people I guess feel that putting real personal stuff on there is appropriate.....the same sort of people who perhaps want to be the centre of everything and everybody must know what is going on with them if you meet up with them in real life....
