Also changed the spelling of my name to Tymm for a short period for some reason.

I care not one jot that it’s been picked out multiple times already, I need to flag the awesomeness of this too.

I still write my lower case t’s as a

Write with a fountain pen at work.

I did this with brown ink

I read a good book about pretension once and how it shouldn’t be seen as a bad thing as it’s the bit that comes before transformation. Like it’s good to try out different personas and ideas, leads to self discovery, we shouldn’t be shackled to who we are. I thought it was a good book anyway.

Should be more pretentious - it’s good!

This is all well and good but it doesn’t excuse @safebruv being a prick and ordering things that aren’t on the menu

[safebruv]

They can say no, to be fair it’s much more often in cocktail places than restaurants,
Do like saying when someone else is struggling to decide “what would you have if you could have anything and we will find something similar” in a restaurant and then asking the staff if they can make what the person wants.
It’s a proper baller move but you’ve got to get the place right to use it

I don’t recommend having a cooking session with me because I’ll be talking like a YouTube chef within minutes.

btw when I refer to frying onions as ‘sweating to let the flavours flow’ I have no fucking clue what I’m talking about.

[chris-budget]

McDonald’s?

[Aggpass]

Cocktails is fair game imo as long as you’re asking for something relatively classic.

He?

I dunno, maybe that’s the joke.

[safebruv]

I ask for something classic but with the bartenders own twist on it

[rob.orch]

I still do this with purple ink. And not just cartridges, I bought a pot of ink

[ricardomotorbike]

Had a really old egg, so cracked it into a bowl, stuck it in the microwave and branded it ‘ouefs a la plage’

Always this

Embarrassing acts of "rebellion" you now cringe at

After reading “No Logo” by Naomi Klein, I tried to unpick the logo from my Nike rucksack. Made a right hash of it, though.

Only listen to Edith Piaf at parties

I reckon most DiSers must have had phases of being terrible hi-fi hijackers. My best effort was insulting everyone at a student party where they were having a laughing gas and dubstep session because they didn’t like it when I changed it to Nina Simone. Flounced out and everything

still back myself really

[rob.orch]

Wait - I can add in an extra layer of pretentious. The ink isn’t purple, it’s " Poussier de lune"

Oh god yes. But I always tried to read the room and work my taste in. Rarely worked.

I try to read the room and work in my goal to annoy absolutely everyone.

Hi-Fi hijacking classic:
