“Burning The Queen”

I had to double take on what you’ve written…

Past it's best, the sequels aren't shaping up any better though.

Not to the same person I assume? If not its a different mistake made similarly.

Judging by the frequency with which I find myself trudging round the house, looking for my wallet and swearing under my breath, a pretty much infinite amount of times

I do that with keys usually. Far too often I find them already in my pocket.

"Past it’s best"

How many times have you mistakenly used it's when you should have used its?

"If not its a different mistake"

And how many times have you mistakenly used its when you should have used it's?

Plenty.

"just one last go"  always ends in pain but we all still do it

"I'll put my this in a safe place"  never seen again

"where are my reading glasses"  On the top of your head as usual you clown

"I've forgotten my wallet"  Always goes down well in the pub

Today? Probably about 50 time's 😉

“I’ve forgotten my wallet” Always goes down well in the pub

As a Yorkshire man I'm well aware this isn't a mistake.

Mrs dB & I were getting some culture at a museum this afternoon, after some deliberation Mrs dB decided she'd have to go back to the car to get her reading glasses - neither of us realised they were on her head until we couldn't actually find them in the car 🫣

Does “one too many pints” count?

If so, 😬

Serious real life mistake?  Once is enough.

Looking back I wish it was fatal because my head became very light and the world slowly turned dark but very pleasant.

With fire, before chucking it in the bin.

🎩🤣🤣🤣 As typography was a major part of my job for three decades, that’s something I can relate to!

Judging by the frequency with which I find myself trudging round the house, looking for my wallet and swearing under my breath, a pretty much infinite amount of times

Thank God for small tracking devices, that’s all I can say!

You let the grass get too long and then after a dry spell it’s a real possibility.

Before or after their parts?
