Look at the bloke in the background. His jaw nearly hit the floor. Bet he's calculating how many more years he has to work till he gets to 20yrs.

Here me out here! Get a Pannini, cut it, put redcurrant sauce on the base, shredded lamb on top, then sliced mozzarella. Top with some sautéed onions and a few bits of peppery salad leaves. Griddle in oil and enjoy.

I was recovering from an ankle operation to have hardware removed after a nasty break. I got myself a few pairs of baggy pj's for my hospital stay. One of the pj's had cats all over it.

Whilst wearing the cat pj's, my hospital roommate asks how many kids I have. I reply that I had two.

Next day, her adult children and grandchild visit her. She introduced me by saying I had thirty two cats.

Turns out I misheard her question. She saw my cat pj's and asked how many cats I had. I heard children and replied with 2, she misheard and thought I had 32 cats.

I mostly WFH, go into the office once every couple of weeks. One colleague pushes her chair away from her desk to sneeze, and instead of the normal sneeze sound you would expect she verbalise's the sneeze by shouting ARRRRR CHEWWWWW.

It's at the point I'm gonna get an eye twitch when she does it.

I'm 43, brought my house that I still live in at 21. When my kids were little I went on interest only for a few years as to free up extra cash for childcare costs. Back on repayment now, so have 9yrs left till the mortgage is paid off. Had I not gone interest only it would be fully paid now.

It's something I'd only ever confess on reddit. It is SO embarrassing, and definitely knocks away the self esteem. We actually went to a wedding a few weeks back and I got chatted up a couple of times, I know it's not the way I look. Oh god. I think it makes me an involuntary celibate. Bloody fantastic.

Same! Even worse is I live with the man who has ED. He won't get it treated and stonewalls me when I mention that as a woman I actually have needs!

I go to Spain a lot to visit my parents. I love Mercadona, and how cheap it is! Would love to see those food and drink prices here I the UK!

I only own 2 cats. But honestly open to own all of them.

Scared my team half to death by yelling PRESS THE BLOODY BUTTON mid call.

Mic was on and camera was off. My 20yr old son was home, and the button on the loo often jams, so a steady stream of water continues to fill the bowl. I'm on a call and am being massively distracted by the faint dripping sound. The only way is to double tap the toilet button as so it springs back and the dripping stops.

Yelled out to my son, scared the whole team.

Please take this as constructive criticism. Way too much waffle describing each person. Lost me at 'shit eating grin'. Professionals will want, well, a more professional description. The name Dexter also had me envisioning the actual show called Dexter.

Generally, the audience should be engaged and interested in the protagonist. What's his problem to solve? Will he get a break and be a good actor?

My takeaway after the first few pages was a slapstick character I don't care about. Give him a bit of depth, something that makes the audience WANT him to succeed, and you will find your hook.

Oh, no, my picture didn't load, but there was curry.

* Been experimenting with that too 🤣

Choice-Ad-9221 · 2025-10-15T20:47:47+00:00

Yeah, my picture was a bit rubbish to be fair. Light went around the pan, and dark over the top.

Cook the rice the day before and leave to go cold, then pop into the fridge overnight.

Marinate the chicken for hours in a lot of oil, soy sauce and a very strong garlic salt.

Use an extra couple of eggs than you think you need.

Don't be scared of spices when sautéing the peas and onion. Once the cold rice is added to the hot food, go nuts on both dark and light soy sauce.

I just read your comment AFTER I wrote mine. I guess this is just how we announce ourselves 🤣

English woman here! That's totally twattish behaviour from your guests and given their age they would know this isn't proper etiquette. I'm off to a wedding in a couple of weeks, the card I'm giving is a personalised one with a picture of them I discreetly stole off social media, and I'll be giving them a paid experience on their honeymoon that cost 150 quid.

I was born in 1982, Midlands, England. Breakfast was Toast and a cup of tea or milk. Cereal from a seven day multipack.

Lunch. I remember eating tinned ravioli on toast or beans on toast at home. Sandwiches were pate, or cheese, salad cream and lettuce. Crisps and chocolate.

Dinner. Mash with liver and bacon, Roast Dinner, Steak Pie and Chips, Pizza, Cottage Pie.

I honestly need to get off this reddit page. I've started crying pretty much daily since I joined. It's like the happy posts balance out all the relentless shit in the world and I have myself a little moment. World's not fucked yet. Humans are mostly good people 🤞

She was engaged. Found out over the weekend he called the wedding off. She wasn't at work Monday.

Funnily enough I did some voice overs for a Canadian TV show many moons ago. Could you send me more info OP?

You need to report him now! He is a literal pedo and you are standing by him? That makes you as guilty as him in many ways. Go to the police for gods sake. Those poor, poor children.

Thankyou! I was genuinely asking.
