    I often wonder what sort of person needs their room cleaning on a daily basis. I do my own every six months, or so.

    Along with a shower and haircut I believe.

    And another thing... There are a lot of petrol stations here with no shop or kiosk, so you have to use a self service machine. I stopped to fill up, and it's just like self service in a supermarket. I stopped at Ingo's petrol station in Copenhagen (kept that quiet @Ingo) and selected English. It kept switching back to Danish. I then tried tapping my credit card, but I think it didn't want to do contactless (not sure as it had switched back to Danish again), so I inserted the card and entered my PIN: card declined.

    I then tried my debit card, going straight for the slot this time before it had a chance to decide I didn't really mean it when I selected English. Card declined. Sort it out Ingo! Not good enough.

    Ingo doesn't need to skim my cards. His petrol station empire in Denmark must bring in more cash than a bit of card fraud. Given that petrol is already £2 a litre here, it must be a nice little earner.

    Found myself trying to explain that to someone yesterday. So many blank looks.

    I'm struggling to think of a situation where you would need to explain wolfbagging to someone other than the obvious one.

    At some point in history I’m pretty sure I was the one who explained it to you fuckers… and, hate to disappoint, but THAT very much was not the reason.

    As I recall, and recollections may be hazy as it was twenty-plus years ago, the subject of bizarre sexual practices came up on a thread and went through several pretty weird ones until wolfbagging trumped them all. So you're absolved. Can't say I've ever had it come up in conversation outside of TalkBack.

    I recall a grainy internet video doing the rounds when we were at uni (25 years ago-plus) where it was being discussed on some edgy, late-night American radio chat show.

    Both presenters were struggling to get their words out among tears of laughter at the mishap of the main protagonist of the story.
