"I don't understand why on one of my bodysuits I can only do up the outer two poppers if I fasten the middle one first. I like to do them in a linear fashion and this fact irks me."
That would bother me too. It's just wrong to have to start in the middle.

"Russian.
I was challenged to learn the Russian alphabet last year. I still recognise some words.  "
Why were you challenged to learn the Russian Alphabet?
Most of the challenges I get given are things like how many marshmallows can I fit in my mouth.
And I don't even want to talk about the cinnamon challenge. |

I knew you'd understand! I shall have to live with it; it's the perfect under pinafore body apart from the popper issue. |

"The volume on HD programmes on the magic telly box is quieter than ordinary telly.
What don't you understand?
"
It's all to do with dynamic range! HD TV generally has a better soundtrack too, so the difference between the quiet bits and the loud bits is much greater. Similar to the 'loudness wars' in music. |

I just want to hear David Attenborough without having a volume that goes up to 11.

"Is it a bit like how the adverts on channel 4 are REALLY REALLY LOUD? "
Adverts are normally louder because back in the days before recordable tv people would get up to make a cuppa tea or go for a pee meaning they leave the room the tellys in, the adverts still want to be heard!
(May or may not be true, my theory!) |

"Isn't there there sleeping bag you can walk in, or something? Slankie?"
The Slanket is a blanket thing that you wear like a backwards cardi and tuck your feet in. It has 'evolved' and now has foot pockets.

Is that because teenagers slouch so much, that's the most convenient height for them? |

Check the current avatar. From the neck down the outfit is blouse, corset, skort (shorts with a wrap over skirt bit at the front), socks.
Oh, and a bodysuit is like a leotard but with poppers on the gusset. |

ahh, to me a bodysuit is a longsleeved vest with poppers that my grandsons wear.
I cant remember what we used to call what you describe they where all the rage to go out in in the early 90s |

Bodies. I still call them that. But according to Amazon it is now a bodysuit. Probably an Internet search for bodies is a bad idea so they added the suit. |

I can't wear bodysuits... I think I have a long torso so I just end up looking like a fat Jane Fonda when she used to do her 80's workout vids! |

I heard it's so you can still hear them from the kitchen when you get up to make a cuppa during the break. True story!"
It has nothing to do with that.
Adverts are typically recorded with poor sound quality, lets face it they are only adverts after all so no point spending money on high quality audio.
During this recording the sound files are compressed so much and with such poor quality audio, that when played back are louder than the normal programme you're watching which was recorded using decent audio recording tech.
It has or ever had anything to do with people nipping off to make a cuppa during ad breaks.  |
