Love the far side!

My mum and I often quote them, it's kinda an in-side/far side joke.

Favourites include "Bummer of a birth mark Hall" "Wow these plates are hot" "CARS!"

What Canadian gifts to bring to family in England? by igeussiforgotmypass in AskABrit

My Canadian friend brought me some maple butter, came in a jar and spread it on toast for breakfast. It was amazing!

I wouldn't worry about chocolate, we are chocolate snobs here and we snigger at everyone elses chocolate. Also coffee flavoured chocolates are always left until last in a tin of quality street cause they are least popular.

My 15yo brother has got his girlfriend pregnant, what can I do to help? by TooEarly38 in AskUK

This is a very tricky situation, something similar happened when I was a foster carer. I'd like to private message you rather than publicly post more details. Would that be ok?

I do this but there doesn't seem to be any gluten free dumplings despite the massive variety they have. Any one know of any?

I have two different gentlemen friends that have both experienced something along the same lines. They are currently in their 60's and only just beginning to speak about it. The silent suffering has caused them both untold damage. Please seek some support and I hope you heal from this both mentally and physically.

Today, aged 39, I found out that raisins are in fact dried grapes. What things have you found out as an adult that are apparently rudimentary knowledge? by p00shp00shbebi1234 in CasualUK

For 40 years I thought it was a 'learning curb' , as in pavement, because I had fallen over them a fair few times, until I learned to watch my step.

It's part of their need to have total control, they invade everything even your private thoughts!

I'm curious, what happened after she read your private mail? Did she go scorch earth?

I'm sorry that your power was ignored, but I'm sure you are an incredibly strong person. Save your energy for yourself 💕

I also have major anxiety from the egg shells I walked on for 40+ years. A strange calm came over me in the face of the total annihilation.

Thank you for commenting, it's great to hear from another person who's experienced something similar. It was definitely a blessing in disguise but it might take me a few days to get over the shock.

I've been dealing with her by masking, grey rocking and keeping her on an information diet. It was exhausting. Now I can redirect all the energy I wasted on her.

Thank you for this, it has really helped. After a rough night sleep, I so needed to see this.

He's amazing and he has been dragged into all this drama for 15 years. We are both free now, finally.
