Isn't that Anne Hegerty* in the before picture of Bernadette?

One for UK quiz enthusiasts there.

"bet he doesn't have the guts to do that again"

My son told it to me, blame him!

As I grow older I've found that pleasing everyone is impossible but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.

My son's version was:

Q: What's the last thing tht goes through a fly's mind as it hits your windscreen (windshield for foreigners)?
A: Its a***hole (a**hole for foreigners).

He was preordered this way.

Can anyone tell me the difference between pre-ordering something and ordering it?

I think pre-order refers to ordering a product before it is launched in the market and generally available. More like reserving it.

There was a lengthy discussion about it on here some time ago when someone else objected to the term, but I can't find it at the moment.

Pre-order is when you order it before it's actually available for shipping. Most of the times you save some money, as pre-order price is lower than normal.
This approach used to increase sell...

I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

It annoys DD[^]

It is a marketing construct used to either drive up sales as you can market something that doesn't yet exist and let people place an order, if they cannot do that then the marketing is less effective. It is also used to get an idea for the size of initial runs of a product and to more accurately distribute stock when something first goes on sale.

It looks like DD assumed that pre-order refers to before the order. It doesn't. It's short for pre-release order.

It's where you are ordering something, but before that. Hope this helps.

Pre-order on Wikipedia[^].
Unfortunately I've made a few pre-orders that were not delivered on time and I had to cancel my pre-orders long after the product was released just to 'regular order' it and get it faster Sigh | :sigh:

In this case (I assume your question comes from my pre-order thread below) I pre-ordered for the discount and goodies though Big Grin | :-D

It's an OO world.

   public void DoWork()
   {
      throw new NotSupportedException();
   }
