What do you assign to Mordor? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I sympathise, Esty.

Parents: Let's extend the house! Yay! The garage can be moved to the bottom of this big ole slope here.

Clever move.

I also assign those constant debt adverts on daytime TV. "Hey, you, do you wanna get into EVEN MORE debt? Yeah? Call this number!" And why are they always on kids' TV, anyway? Do kids have debt...?

Mold. Especially when it gets on cool books, like an old atlas, your only greek mythology book, and nature books with awsome pictures. *sob*

Clouds, cold and the possibility of rain when it's supposed to be summer! Come on weather, I know this is England but you don't have to prove the stereotype.

I'll take your clouds, cold, and rain any time. This summer in the American Great Lakes region it has been regularly dry and above 90. Until a very lovely wet/cold spell for a few days. It was nice to see green grass growing for a change. So.... to Mordor with climatically incorrect weather.

Aye, same where I live, Elempi. It's been miserably hot and miserably dry. Our pond is nearly empty.

Drought belongs in Mordor.

Hot, humid weather. It's supposed to be 94 Fahrenheit outside but it feels like 120 Fahrenheit.

No, but the parents watching with the nippers sure do once they've shelled out for expensive prams, cots, clothes, safety systems, gubbins with Winnie the Pooh on it, etc. etc. All on reduced wages.

I assign that ad where the mum berates her teenage son for not being interested in the fact that she's just changed her car insurance. I'm 36 and I'd also come over all sullen and uninterested if my mother started on about how excited she was that she was thinking of changing her car insurance.

I also assign Three for selling a deaf pensioner a mobile phone they did not want by exploiting the similarity of the word 'three' to 'free'. That's low.
