My other half has squeezed all of the washing up liquid into a Kilner bottle.

Lads, I don't get it. I really don't get it. I mean, I gave up trying to understand women a long time ago but every now and then something happens that leaves me utterly flummoxed beyond all comprehension. Is 'WITH NOTHING TO SAY BECAUSE I AM A CUNT' still wordfiltered? I mean, she's moved it from one bottle... to another bottle. It doesn't even pour that well so you always end up using more than you intended to. I doubt anyone in the entire history of humankind has ever thought "washing up liquid in a glass bottle, nice." It's bright yellow and she also pours the cooking oil into a Kilner bottle, which she doesn't store too far away from it, so I can almost certainly guarantee at some point in the future she'll end up frying food in washing up liquid. The lid is also a faff. Just... why? Why, lads?

Can you lads please reassure me that your lasses do stupid shit like this?

I went to Aldi with my girlfriend for the first time in, I dunno, years probably and it really brought home that she has no situational awareness whatsoever. I already knew she was a bit clueless from when we've been to normal supermarkets together, but Aldi having much narrower aisles really amplified that she will stop in the most inconvenient spots she can find. She's also got this infuriating habit of stopping the trolley directly in front of what she wants to pick up, so she ends up pushing the trolley to a 45° angle and blocking the aisle so she can squeeze past it to grab what she wants. I guess this is why I usually go shopping alone.

In other news, Aldi jelly babies are decent.

I've always found going to the supermarket to be a weird couple activity to do together. It certainly doesn't require two people. It's even stranger when they bring the kids and make it into a family trip out.

Whenever I log into Facebook, if someone has posted about one, I'll try it too. I usually play Wordle, Quordle and Octordle. I hate Worldle and Heardle was too easy the one time I tried it.

Anyway, if she posts all her performances on Facebook, make her stop. If she plays but doesn't post about it, then she sounds like the ideal perfect woman.

I'm fairly ambivalent to smelling of cinnamon, but it strikes me of the kind of thing women would really like men to smell of. But I don't leave the house much and on Friday I almost had a panic attack while remebering what her face looked like the last time we spoke, so I could well be wrong.

Yankee Candles don't smell like the thing they're meant to smell of, though. They always smell like whatever the thing is if it was dissolved in a litre of toilet duck. One of my exes once bought some that stank exactly like fucking urinal cakes, I swear to god. It made the whole flat smell like the men's pisser at Wetherspoons.

That was an argument I didn't regret starting, frankly.

Anyway cinammon smells amazing, in fact all this talk of cinammon has made me want to drive down to the cinnabon at Snowhill. I was meant to be giving up junk food for a bit, you cunts.

I'm in bed with my girlfriend as she's on her phone scrolling through clips from QI that'll have been posted on something like Facebook. At the moment she's watching one about tapir's penises that we literally watched on the TV about two or three weeks ago that she has no recollection of whatsoever because she was busy stating at her phone at the time.

Was meant to go over and spend a couple of days at the girlfriend's this afternoon. I was planning to go a bit earlier on, but I had to stay to wait for a delivery, and she had already had a bad morning, so she started sulking and moaned that now I won't be there until later in the evening and so on and so forth.

Anyway it was only a brief exchange over a few texts but she ended up telling me more or less what amounted to "you might as well stay at home, because I'm just going to sulk all night." So I went, "Okay. I'll see you tomorrow instead, I hope you feel better in the morning (kiss emoji loveheart emoji)."

Now, those of you lads who are more experienced in the ways of women will immediately spot the foul there. But fuck her, frankly. Sometimes refusing to play along is the only winning move.

My girlfriend has bagged up our entire DVD/blu ray collection to give away to charity shops on the basis that "we don't watch them anymore". I've got about 30 DVDs I've whittled down to keeping. I'm not being irrational here, am I? I mean, I haven't watched City of God in years but I'd like to have the option to in the future if I suddenly fancy it.

You're not being irrational. People talk about streaming making physical media obsolete, but stuff on streaming services is transient - in 6 months time will the film you want to watch still be on Netflix or will it have passed on? I know with DVDs/Blu-Rays the disc can fail or the player can fail, but other than that you always have access to that particular show or film, without having to rely on the streaming sites not dropping it over the long term.

I did think about selling all my DVDs to Music Magpie when clearing out for moving house, and I would have got like 7p per DVD. Bollocks to that.

I find myself keeping a bunch of DVDs and old games and what have you, purely so there's something to fill up my shelves and make the place feel less spartan. But in reality, if I ever want to watch/play them, downloading (the illegal but vastly superior way, obviously, where you get to actually fucking keep it, and not pay a tenner a month for it to disappear next week) them from the internet would be less hassle, so I can't say I'd really miss them.

I wouldn't be going mad at her unless it was a CD/record collection though. Or books. Nobody every thinks it's weird to have a load of dusty old books you haven't read in years lying around, do they?

Actually one thing to be said for physical collections is that you never quite had the option paralysis and mental fatigue you can get nowadays with digital everything. If I want to listen to one of my favourite albums or watch one of my favourite films, I just look at my collection and see what takes my fancy. I don't have to keep an absurd mental list of everything I like, decide from that, and then search it on the interweb to get at it.

Anyway, no, YANBU.

Thanks lads. Some of the ones I've kept are the likes of The League of Gentlemen box set because of streaming services taking down episodes thanks to Papa Lazarou and the ham-fisted response to BLM.

I think this is her way of decluttering, dealing with something that wasn't a pressing concern whilst ignoring the piles of shit she leaves all over the house.

It's got a card slot, so I'm 99.99% sure some spod out there has worked out a way to play roms on it nevertheless.

It does look really nice, but what puts me off is the aspect ratio of the screen. Perfect line doubling for original Gameboy, but awkward interger scaling for GBA and other 16 bit consoles. So the main gimmick is kind of... Pointless, for me at least, because original Gameboy games rarely have much more than novelty value when you actually get down to it.

Hacked 3DS and DSi are my portable handhelds of choice for now. That way you can run everything from Gameboy to PS1 and it still looks authentic on those displays. Pre-rendered stuff like Final Fantasy and Resident Evil look amazing on the 3DS display, because it's 1:1.

Indeed, but there's better options if I just want to emulate, I've been eyeing up an Ambernic which is an order of magnitude cheaper but doesn't look like cheap Chinese tat either.

I've counted the pile of clothes my girlfriend dumps at the end of the bed. Two bras, two sets of bed clothes, six pairs of trousers and jeans, three cardigans, two pairs of tights, five dresses and three tops. I can guarantee if I left one pair of jeans or a t-shirt she'd be immediately on my case to put them away if I was going to wear them again.

There's an Ottoman box at the end of the bed where most of this gets dumped. It's either clothes she's worn already and decided it's fresh enough to get another wear out of or from when she's taken a handful of dresses out of her wardrobe at once, chosen which one she wants to wear that day and then dumped the rest in a pile.

My other half has suddenly decided that the air fryer is unsightly and should be stored away in one of the cupboards when not in use, rather than on the worktop, bearing in mind it's fairly cumbersome as it's one of those dual-basket 9/10 litre models. She spent a good few hours yesterday rearranging all of the kitchen cupboards to make room for it, but once she'd tidied it away we had to get it out not that long after for tea. She tidied it away again afterwards and we had to get it out again for tea today. I'm not sure how long she's going to keep this up, but I might start storing things like the toaster or the microwave in there instead to fuck with her.

Missus said last night that she was probably going to be too tired from work to come over tonight and would come over Saturday, then about half an hour ago text me saying she's getting the train and coming over tonight. Fine, except I'd already got settled into the idea of spending all night on videogames and eating junk food by myself, so I'm kind of arsed.

Last week she did the opposite, of saying she'd be here Friday night, then bailed at the last minute to see one of her mates, which again is fine, but then she ended up hungover all day so I didn't end up seeing her til near 9pm on the Saturday. Not to mention I wasted the whole day waiting on her to let me know when she'd have her arse in gear, whereas if I'd known I might have at least been able to salvage the day a bit and make other plans.

I don't want to have a go or tell her to fuck off, because I feel like her heart is in the right place trying to make up for last week by making the effort to come tonight, because I did have a bit of a go at her about that (and I mean I am fairly sure I wasn't being unreasonable to do so there). But what she doesn't get is that it's not about her being here or not, as much as I do love spending time with her. That isn't my problem, it's about changing plans last minute and me having to accommodate it, which fucks me right off. Pretty petty issue in the grand scheme of things so I'm not going to make a scene about it, but I wish some people would understand how rude it is to mess people about like that.

Sage because I was in two minds if this is /emo/ or /101/ material, so in the end compromised to stick it here, because bloody women, am I right lads.

You're right, but it's not something I can be arsed fighting over, frankly. I've had words with her about respect over some other things before, and in fairness she sorted those issues out, but this one I can't be arsed kicking up a fuss over. It's not like she's made a running habit of it, she's just started a new job recently and she's been a bit all over the place because of it.

If she makes a habit of it in future I'll just say "sorry nah I've made other plans/not in the mood now" or whatever, and she'll likely get the picture pretty sharpish. In relationships you learn when to pick your battles don't you.
