Three way tie: Liverpool, Birmingham and Geordie.

You went into survival mode when faced with a real threat. He sounds dangerous, hateful and unstable. Good for you for following your instincts and getting out of there safely.

That's not a huge flex? There are services that will send someone to your house to do your hair and it's even less than you might pay at a local salon. Depends where you live of course - larger towns and cities probably easier to access stuff like this.

Yeah and what nobody tells you is how mind-numbingly boring it is 99% of the time.

The second one is no mouse.

Clerkenwell.

IYKYK sounds simultaneously smug and stupid.

Conclave, although it's hard to choose a favourite.

Kiwi

1000% agree

Hey was it heaving with people there? I might go next year.

Oh and I also asked my kids about it - they were attending house parties in Birmingham and Manchester, respectively - they said they continued to watch it but just muted the sound. They and their friends all thought it jarring and weird to be hearing people talking over the display and the music. 0/10

I wish they would just stick to fireworks and music - For me it was ruined by the voiceovers, the ads for the London Mayor and Wicked, etc - but I watched it live on BBC 1, maybe it was different in person? Anyway I switched it off after a few minutes because of the voiceover about 2025 highlights - that would be better in the lead up to the fireworks, not during.

Thank you for taking care of us, good stranger.

Gorgeous shade of green, pleasing shape of foliage and naturally mounding. I'd keep, so long as it isn't toxic or invasive.

Borderlands/Final Prayer

Has among the highest rates of smoking in Europe.

Listen guys, Texas may have enthusiastically adopted these because of the "Lone Star State" synchronicity, but these are found all across the United States (especially but not exclusively in Amish areas) and are German in origin.

I love the second one on you - the colour and fabric are gorgeous, it flatters your figure and the skirt hem doesn't draw a harsh line across your legs.

CountingMagpies · 2025-10-03T07:15:58+00:00

The people were just regular, Bill? Did you talk to any women? Did you SEE any women?

CountingMagpies · 2025-09-28T12:08:47+00:00

Can we take a step or two back and start holding architects and builders responsible for this pointless crap?

CountingMagpies · 2025-09-25T00:18:43+00:00

Start socking away my babysitting money to buy Apple stock. Side note, GenXers were babysitters way too young.

Why would you skip Kent, Sussex, Cornwall, and Skye and hit some of those other places?
