When a clothes shop is having a sale and by the time you drop in looking for a pair of jeans the bargain vultures have picked the place clean. Only weird sizes like 45W-28L or 30W-40L are left.

Is there a difference?

TA overuse of CGI in films and also the quality of it seems to be getting worse rather than better as time goes on.
Look at the big budget superhero films for eg. The CGI looks really unconvincing, almost like you are watching an animated film at times.
Now look at Jurassic Park, nearly 30 years old and made back when CGI was in its infancy and it looks miles better.

Almost all of Jurassic Park was done using models. Probably why it still looks so good

Here's an interesting video that explains why the JP films got worse as they went on. Most of it was down to good old fashioned cinematography by Spielberg.

A gift from work has been delivered by an post to most of my colleagues who live in Dublin city, while mine has not, confirming my long lived suspicion that they hold post for rural areas and make minimal trips. And there I was going to tip the postman this year.

Also, the inside design on my orange peel has set off my trypophobia.

No..no it doesn't, I may need an encyclopedia to help my teeny tiny brain figure out exactly what you mean Aristotle, oh mighty one!

I was asked to pass on a message in person to my housemate, that they were all going to the cinema that evening.

I was asked three times did I understand and would I remember(a fair question as I have a memory disorder, but three times is insulting)

The housemate hadn't appeared by the time I left so I left a note, which she didn't get until the following day.

But hey at least I remembered :rolleyes:

She called in on her way to college.
Tho as a student-teacher I think it was a science experiment for her.

Had to look up trypophobia.
I'm fascinated by the variety of phobias which exist and my ignorance of the whole topic. I love to find patterns in nature so I do feel for you being phobic of them.

Good to learn something new every day.

I'm not phobic but some of that stuff does make me nauseous (speckled hens are fine, though)

I have boring old arachnaphobia, to the degree that even a picture or a shot on a screen can set it off. Its an extreme aversion, disgust reaction I have to spiders.

I knew a girl once who actually managed to scale a flat wall, such was her fright when she saw one (a spider, not a speckled hen lol)

At least you see far fewer speckled hens than spiders, unless you actually keep hens. Arachnaphobia must be a nightmare as there are spiders everywhere.

TA, we have a mouse. We also have six cats and a terrier, but somehow there is a mouse allowed to freeload off my Christmas box of tayto crisps, because the six cats and terrier didn't get the memo about natural prey.

My partner was driving us along one the insane motorways in England when I noticed he seemed very quiet and pre occupied. Without warning he turned into the nearest services, jumped out his side and came round to mine, opened the door and said, like The Terminator 'Get out. Now.' I complied because his tone suggested questioning would be futile and I thought the hours if driving had made him a bit mad. As soon as I got out, he leapt back in and started shuffling and banging around inside. He'd spotted a spider and knew if I saw it I'd probably instinctively try and jump out of the van so he was afraid to mention it. He said he was sh1tting himself for the 5 minutes it took from spotting it to pulling over somewhere safe and getting me out of the van so he could get rid of the thing.

Meet your sister. Years ago when I was a student I was in my accommodation for the first time. I was in my room sorting it out when I spied a...I can't even type the word....on me. Oh Jesus I nearly lost my life.

It ended up on my bed and then disappeared under a sheet. I couldn't bring myself to lift the sheet because that would mean seeing it but then how would I kill it. So I rang my "best friend" who lived a few doors away. She told me that there was no way she was coming over to get the yoke for me and that I needed to be an adult.

I slept in the sitting room that night.

Brilliant Thankfully he didn't do the "don't look" thing, which usually has the opposite effect.

And it's so weird, cos some kinds of spiders dont bother me at all. It's not a size thing, either, some of the small ones affect me really badly.. I think, for me, it's about legs being disproportionately long, especially the front ones. Shudder

And apparently "exposure therapy" has been very successful. I'm going to pass on that!

I'd have done the same and got someone to check the bed the next day and then washed the sheets.

Or when they're thick and velvety and make that soft phlump sound when they land.

That's right. Same for the spiders. I'll pass too and just never go to Australia
