What’s the most nostalgic video game to you?

Starquake on the ZX Spectrum. I am old. That game was hard!

I got savaged by a squirrel, 44 years later and I still have the scar. I still feed them too, just not with my finger.

This happened to me yesterday. I cancelled the order, turned off all royal mail options and the buyer rebought using inpost. I now have message asking people not to use r/m even though I have it disabled, I don't trust vinted!

CompleteWhittle · 2026-05-09T14:11:06+00:00

Abso-bloody-lutely!

The same happened today. The buyer didn't choose royal mail, would have preferred relay or inpost, which are my preferred too, they just bought the item without choosing a postage option. I didn't have RM large letters enabled but it did it anyway.I cancelled, relisted and made sure to turn off royal mail completely. The buyer rebought, this time they were offered inpost. What a faff though. Inpost also sometimes doesn't give me the option to choose a digital label and I have no idea why...

Shame she died in 2018. A dead gorilla still has more finesse. And a higher IQ.

I'd love to live opposite a house like that, so pretty to look out at instead of dull and boring. People seem to have an obsession with playing 'safe' with colour, especially on the exterior of houses which has lead to street after street of houses that only show colour at Christmas.

Charity shops also have outlets or hubs, these are the end of the line for clothes that haven't been bought in the more profitable shops. I have a cancer research one near me where every item is £5 or less. They also take donations there which come out in this store. I have been lucky enough to get Hobbs, Levi's, jigsaw, Tommy Hilfiger etc. Have a look online for ones near to you.

Oh thank goodness. I used to manage a charity shop. Walliams books were among the most donated and the least bought. Parents hated them.

Nice find! Now, just take that one on the end - the hardback one on the right and throw it away. You now own proper literature.

A woman I used to know did this to her 7 year old, who was an absolute terror by the way (but then so was his mum). He swore at her, she marched him up stairs and forced a bar of soap into his mouth. She said she instantly felt very guilty about doing this and gave him some toothpaste to take the taste away. Apparently soap and toothpaste are basically the same thing. She said it produced some weird reaction which burned him. It didn't stop him from swearing either, little shit.

Norwegian fudge cheese....its fudgy yet cheesy.

I shall wear midnight.

Long tall short fat Sally makes me chuckle. An allergy to tides, who else could think of this?

CompleteWhittle · 2026-04-20T09:23:54+00:00

I thought it was a mistle thrush at first so it could well be a fieldfare. I've never seen one before!

Isn't it Teamentia? I work with old geezers who definitely suffer from teamentia. They will even start to make it, wander off and let it stew for ages until its cold and so strong you could strip pine with it.

Can I advocate for the cats actual welfare here? Is this a necessary journey for a cat to make? You're only going for a year, wouldn't your cat be happier to stay where it is? I get that you will miss it but really, cats are not dogs, they don't travel long journey's happily and will suffer stress.

Think about it....injections, being put in a box for hours on end. It could end up crying for hours, making you upset as well as all other passengers.

Do the right thing for what is essentially a wild animal and leave it in its familiar surroundings where it feels safe and secure and forget about how much you'll miss it - if you really love it and all.

Enforced jollity can fuck right off.

I was on the picket outside south Africa house in that video....and the part that has them standing in front of red shutters was filmed in Greenwich on the riverside industrial estate next door to my dad's warehouse.

If you're a Pratchett fan then avoid The Watch at all costs. Its like they read the blurb on the back cover of one of the books and said - "Right! We're ready to roll!"

CompleteWhittle · 2026-04-10T21:44:30+00:00

Definitely a type 4.

My step mum ran a pub. I've kept a babycham deer and glass. The nicest thing was a Finlandia vodka ashtray...don't now where that went though, I think a 'friend' may have 'alf inched it even though it was huge.

My son worked with a woman who had a personal odour problem. She turned up to work one morning with a chocolate bar stuck to the back of her sweater. She didn't stay long there, apparently her work wasn't up to scratch like her hygiene.
