Walking my dog on the seafront where there’s a slope often results in me chasing dog poo down a hill, like the saddest Easter egg roll of all time
Enjoying the new series of Fisk, especially this episode set in a co-working hub. I’ve been chortling at “crocs for dogs?” on the whiteboard for several minutes now
Hey it was a perfectly good song & it was just lying around okay
Oh God I forgot how Candle in the Wind was the only music for 4 months or something.
Hehehehehe
So that’s why the Going for Gold theme tune has been stuck in my head for 35 years. Apparently it was co-written by Hans Zimmer
Literally only found out a few months ago it wasn’t. I’d been so confused
I am your humble servant, &c.
That’s probably a touch dark for me but looks like a very solid cup of tea, top marks
Write your own The National song by looking at your last messages on WhatsApp. Mine goes: I’m where I last saw you Clothes fashioned from errant pages I’m in your hands Ah poor boy Did you look like you liked it too much A monster Delighted to be asked
*clears throat* that seems like a very good deal and would probably SAVE you money, right???
Awful. Also they have full fat milk so it’s like drinking a tub of cream
Gross. Disgusting
That’s very unpleasant
To be honest my parents make tea the same way so the real question is how was I able to independently develop the one true way to make tea
Always confused when my sister makes me a cup of tea because I’m like. What is this. Why is it 50% milk. Why did you just flash the teabag at the water. Were you raised by wolves? BUT I KNOW SHE WAS NOT RAISED BY WOLVES
Counterpoint: I scream and run from them, also never been stung & have never had to have one sitting on my hand
I’m so sorry. That’s so disappointing.
Absolutely standard bloody wasp behaviour, the dicks
As yet unseen but who knows? He contains multitudes
3. Straight chomp. An unusual option seldom employed - mainly reserved for when dog has abstained from food for a few hours, needing a proper audience and ambience (see above).
How eating now proceeds is down to a number of factors that I am uncertain on. Options include: 1. The parade. Individual units of food are paraded around the room and crunched ceremonially. 2. Compressed parade. Mouthfuls of food are chomped over the bowl with the occasional circuit.
This is how I know my dog is hungry. I enter the room. He is standing. He waits til I lie down on the couch. He waits til I take out my phone. He checks I’m using my phone. The eating may now commence.
SCHOLARS FINDING MY SEWING NOW IF I HAD BEEN BORN 300 YEARS AGO: and we think this might have been the embroidery of a very young child, maybe 2 or 3 years of age, attempting their name for the very first time ME (hurt): oi
It’s win-win when I mend something with a needle and thread. I’m good enough at sewing that whatever I’m fixing then more or less hangs together. I’m bad enough that my female ancestors can rejoice that instead of embroidery, somebody tried to teach me maths & physics instead.
Eek. Hope it passes quickly & you’re okay.
Oh goodness, had it a couple of weeks back… my sympathies
*slaps side of flat* for just five rooms, you can sure fit a load of moths in this thing
“Pleasantly” is my favourite bit
Cutting out 9/10ths of my boozing made me stare into the soul of the nation & we have had virtually no structures for fun that aren’t drink-related. So glad 0% options are on the up, both in terms of tastiness & also as a good option for people who want to (or have to) drink less or not at all.
Always impressed to see the method on a smoothie recipe that attempts to say something other than “put it all in and smoosh til smooth”
Yes it’s gone but the cough remains!
Where do you stand on ‘thinking about it so hard that you have done as much work as actually just making it but then getting really tired because of that and having a cup of tea’
I mean I am but it’s a different flavour of insanity soooo
I’m definitely more bad at knowing what is going on in both global and UK politics now I’m not on Twitter near permanently, but the plus side is I’m not on the verge of total insanity so it evens out
Talking about what time the play finishes: 😒 Talking about what time the show comes down: ✨😏😏😏😏😏😏💫
Somehow this scale of this makes it look like there’s a monster cat menacing you
Not we are sailing but surely everyone had a slightly deranged teacher who desperately forced children to do covers of pop classics
It’s more a momentary thought than a permanent life state
Not sure why autocorrect went there but okay I am doon them
Just doon’ ma nightly rounds, checkin’ my moth traps
yes YES
The things I would do to avoid Stansted.
Was just thinking about how MFing good Gatwick is. It’s got a great layout! The trains are every few mins! You can get anywhere in London very quickly without a trillion changes once you get to victoria!
Some very fine airports I have sampled: Gibraltar (it’s cool because of the road, the angle of takeoff & the big rock) Cork (don’t know why, it’s just nice & compact really) Louis Armstrong New Orleans International (beignets)
I just wish it was monkey tank and world museum
Absolutely terrifying that all of us are hurtling through life with as little idea as the next person of what we’re meant to be doing or what comes after the end, and millions of people have just been doing that for hundreds of thousands of years. In case you forgot.
Hope you feel better soon!
Thanks! These are some good tips!
Seems to be tbh
Yep I read through that already. Thanks for trying to help!
But also yes I’m hideously afraid of this so doing my best
No tangle #3
I’d definitely like not to do this, I guess what I’m asking is how long nowadays to give it, what precautions to take for how long? Obviously few people seem to be taking any and I don’t want to be amongst them.
It’s the perfect time for a nice rest in the theatre industry
What’s the etiquette around Covid nowadays? Stay home if you can and mask up til you’re testing negative I’m presuming, but anyone got anything helpful to say? (NB HELPFUL) And yes I know not everyone can be doing this or I probably wouldn’t have got it, but I’d like to be a decent human being…
Or the dogs are there but too small and we just assume they’re vases or mice
That’s it!
Kids, if your parents ever warn you that a degree in Classics will get you nowhere, you just show em that messsge eh
Pinnacle of human engineering though. I bet the Ancient Egyptians had them. Probably the Etruscans as well. Launching their dogs’ balls into their cippi and whatnot
I wonder how many times in the course of history this thing has been invented (the ball thrower, not the dog)
Omg the depeche mode grandad
Yet to see an episode where the children encounter an enormous spider
Deep into series 1 of Bluey now. Feels good to be learning the lore
Relentlessly innovating
Back to the Future Part III! My template for romantic love was set by this film, unfortunately. So far there has been very little being saved from a coach pulled by runaway horses or being Victorian
I now live 29 miles from my workplace so none of that
It’s also weird because I passed that test in the year 2000 and it’s now 2006. Oh well, best not worry about it too much
So twenty five years ago today I passed by driving test, which is so weird because I am but a young woman of 29
Misread this as brasserie
Okay I worked out where the moths were coming from and suffice to say, it was Not Good
I love those phrases though where they go hand in hand. We’re hardly ever lulled into anything else nowadays
That tracks. I think a lot of traffic to & from the races
My friend lived in Blessington at the time and she said the levels of helicopter and small plane traffic to and from Kildare was off the charts, which was illustrative to me
The safety and comfort I just felt seeing that
Ahahahaha!
I don’t see the lie
I thought the whole thing was pretty sweet. He has a new toy! Then she got the ick.
I’m always in awe of people with pink or blue hair because they are not afraid of the thing I fear the most: maintenance
Is it just me or does Vernon Kay barely conceal his disdain in their crossover moments
I say in theory because who with experience will be able to afford to do them?
In my industry I think they’ve actually gone backwards in some part of the country. A more senior job (in theory ) to one I did 8 years ago was just advertised for the same salary. More responsibility & less money, plus cost of living is astronomical.
I remember watching this very episode and laughing like a drain
Go big or go home
Of course!!!
This made me lol. Where is that from again?
100%
Would definitely be improved by a like, whooooooooo bedoom
This is the time of night when Classic FM moves to that style of singing when it’s just very long notes being sung in a cathedral, but as I was a teenager in the 90s I always expect a beat & a synth to kick in at some stage
Miss my lil bud though. I still see cats throughout the world that look like her & text them to her human fans. They need to know.
Just feels like you’re reminding my my cat’s dead and trying to make me get a more alive one
I think they look artfully distressed. £5 is good
*sobbing* truly no-one else can speak the words on my lips
As the river wears the mighty boulder down to a pebble, so after twenty years of resistance, I find myself unironically enjoying Unwritten by Natasha Bedingfield
I’m not, hear me out on this, sure it’s necessary to have twelve different apps on my phone so that I can charge my car
They’ve evolveeedddd
Them and ticks are my natural enemies. Locked in eternal combat
I feel like the path for me is going to be taking the carpet up & burning it because there’s thousands of the fuckers.
They ate the whole of the carpet in my spare room once (it was the size of a postage stamp) & when we moved out, the landlords were like “we need to charge you for the moth damage” & we were like “the damage from the moths we told you about EVERY WEEK?”
Pedro Pascal probably feels like a middle aged woman in Scotland setting moth traps? Yeah that tracks *send*
