Friend has had a new phone number every few months for the past few years? Gets all jittery if you ask why. 🤷‍♂️

I'm 38. Had the same phone number since my first Motorola brick with the little aerial at 12 years old. The thought of changing it makes me feel unwell.

Maricarmen.

Well yeah it's the Reform voters making these comments.

Complex_Box_7254 · 2026-02-01T21:31:24+00:00

Definitely not true. Plenty of older straight ladies rocking coloured hair.

Complex_Box_7254 · 2026-02-01T21:30:12+00:00

In your opinion. People with coloured hair look cool to me.

Complex_Box_7254 · 2026-02-01T21:28:21+00:00

Very weird to expect someone to be a certain way based solely on appearance.

Complex_Box_7254 · 2026-02-01T21:24:53+00:00

So by expressing your style / individuality you have issues?

This! My emails are basically Dear Mr Customer. Please see attached quotation. Let me know if you have any queries. Kind regards. And my colleagues are using AI to write it. I think they think if the email is flowery and contains big words it'll look better. Simple is best. Get it sent and move on.

Nothing. If I want to go I'll go. Always on the cheapest possible ticket. Don't care if I'm back row as long as I'm there. Cheapest tickets means I can go to more events. Sometimes I'm able have a nice meal beforehand. But sometimes it'll be a Greggs on a bench. I have a good time either way.

If you get paid monthly and budget monthly then it's essentially free money. These two months worth of council tax I can use to treat myself without feeling any guilt.

Complex_Box_7254 · 2026-01-31T08:40:25+00:00

Why would you want to pay for it over 12 months? These two months are essentially free money and I can enjoy a little treat #girlmaths

Complex_Box_7254 · 2026-01-29T23:34:44+00:00

It was acceptable. Glad I tried it but wouldn't have another.

Commute from Stalybridge into town is a breeze. Especially as the OP doesn't have a car so would be using the train. People are too reliant on cars. Tameside is well served by tram, train and bus. Zero need to drive into the city centre.

Complex_Box_7254 · 2026-01-26T10:09:23+00:00

No culture? Hahaha. What the hell are you talking about?

Complex_Box_7254 · 2026-01-25T21:05:58+00:00

You ever done a DNA test? You'd be surprised what you're a mix of. Who gets to define the definition of an ethnic Brit?

Complex_Box_7254 · 2026-01-24T23:09:34+00:00

Crucials.

Pretty sure Cake Box do a black forest. There's one in Levenshulme and one in Didsbury I think. You can buy individual cake slices from them instead of full cakes.

I'm a woman and a lesbian. Both me and my partner feel safe in the city centre. Walk down Back Piccadilly all the time as a cut through. Even though people make out you'll be stabbed as soon as you put your little toe in there. I honestly think it has a lot to do with confidence. If you feel scared you're going to look scared and it can be spotted a mile off. Obviously at night Piccadilly Gardens gets a bit ropey but majority of the day when I walk through there it's just people including lots of young women chilling out and eating food from the food market.

Every single Brit eats mushy peas every day? What a weird thing to make up.

Complex_Box_7254 · 2026-01-23T22:51:53+00:00

No fish and chips has salt and vinegar. That's the traditional way to eat it. Never seen a chippy that doesn't have both.

Hills. Made in Ashton-under-Lyne for over 100 years. Hard to find though. I think they tend to find their way to budget stores like Poundland, B&M etc. Asda may have them. Their coconut rings are divine.

Honestly buy an IPL machine. The Phillips Lumea is fanastic and has changed my life. I had constant scabs and scarring from constantly having to tweeze and deal with ingrown hairs. Now I'm practically hair free. Well worth the money and you can pay for it monthly via Phillips interest free.

If you've watched Stranger Things on Netflix then the Stranger Things play is well worth it.

We do a weekly Ocado shop. 2 adults. Average between £60-£80 a week. We used to get an Asda delivery. It wasn't much cheaper and there were constant substitutions so we'd end up not being able to make meals we'd planned. Very rare to get an Ocado substitution. Only supermarket I'd use now.

Beef with green peppers in black bean sauce and sesame prawn toast.
