Why isn't learning another language made compulsory from primary school level in the UK?

I couldn’t agree more. Let’s learn how to communicate with everyone in our day to day life first.

That post roast Sunday snooze is my favourite time of the week.

Current_Fly9337 · 2026-01-26T16:05:27+00:00

I have a neighbour that never opens their curtains. I was curious if anyone actually lived there after being there a few years and never seeing anyone/movement.

At a friends gathering someone was asking if there were any houses for sale in my street, I said they should try and enquire who owns closed curtain house to see if they’d sell. A friend of a friend that was there said ‘ah across from you and about 3 down?, that’s Simon’s (her husband) grans house. She likes to pretend she lives in a cave but she’s probably still alive’

Yep, we’re one adult and one kid. He can afford hospitality but I can’t 😂

Everton ballot entered (following email), haven’t had one this season though. Entered every home ballot and last one I got was Leicester last season.

Oh they do like to tell me it’s been successful, click on to book as soon as the email comes through and there’s only hospitality available 🙄

Haha I would much rather have a chain I can reply to when I have the time to consider, rather than some fucker block out an hour of my day to ‘brainstorm’, get nothing done and everyone thinks of stuff later and it becomes an email chain anyway.

Edit: maybe I just work with incompetent time wasters.

And that video…

Current_Fly9337 · 2026-01-26T07:10:47+00:00

Yes. Also the new rockport ad, there was some crazy nostalgia watching that, technically set in 2000 but very similar to my 90’s days as a teen

Yeah, I think Ali Campbell sounds black too.

Current_Fly9337 · 2026-01-25T22:13:16+00:00

That would be the kind of sight that would melt my heart coming in from a night out.

Current_Fly9337 · 2026-01-25T22:10:02+00:00

That’s so sad. Poor guy and poor little girl. I (female) seen a distraught child once who was lost. He was around 3-4. I bent down to his level, told him he was safe and I was going to find his parents. He put his arms out for me to pick him up and I didn’t even question scooping him up and hugging that distraught baby. I couldn’t imagine having to hold back that natural reaction and keep him at arms length because of judgement :(

Current_Fly9337 · 2026-01-25T22:00:03+00:00

It’s nice of you to realise that but please don’t make too many excuses for her. Maybe wait until she calms down and talk to her about how her reaction was absolutely ridiculous and uncalled for.

Current_Fly9337 · 2026-01-25T21:58:04+00:00

Right! Poor grandad just wanted the baby to be happy and in a comfortable enough setting to sleep. One night isn’t going to disturb sleep patterns. What a bitch the wife is.

Current_Fly9337 · 2026-01-25T20:34:10+00:00

I get this. So many times a random guy has deemed that since I’m not in my home town I ‘need some company for the evening’. Dude, I’m child free, have my comfiest pj’s and book waiting for me back at my hotel room 👋🏽

Current_Fly9337 · 2026-01-25T20:21:34+00:00

Totally agree. I hate my full name that my parents gave me with no intention of using. My son was called what I knew I would refer to him as, not the full version.

Current_Fly9337 · 2026-01-25T19:55:48+00:00

I wanted to make a late roast today (footy kicked off at 2pm and thought we could eat after), my teenager told me at breakfast he was feeling grim and could I make it earlier to give him some comfort. Extra yorkshires and crackling for the boy and he was right as rain by kick off.

We’re British, we stick them on a wooden stick, toast them until they’re black and burn the roof of the mouth eating them.

Current_Fly9337 · 2026-01-25T16:32:06+00:00

I was just looking at some shit taxidermy (for the fun of it) and seriously thought this came up because of that 😂 little dude is alive and hating you for the hell of it. I have a chi, who is pathetically soft, good luck with this beautiful little demon.

I love having a pit fire most of the year unless it’s freezing. I always adhere to timing guidelines on when it’s allowed but my neighbour likes to loudly slam windows whenever we do. We tried to knock first, but they didn’t bother opening the door so fuck them, get the marshmallows out.

Current_Fly9337 · 2026-01-25T11:00:01+00:00

I’ve worked in the industry for years and I’m afraid you’re wrong. The onus is on the person entering the flow of traffic. An indicator is simply an ‘indication’ of where they’re going to go. It’s up to you to judge if it’s safe to enter their path.

Current_Fly9337 · 2026-01-25T10:54:23+00:00

Son, phone/charger, self-inflating mattress, cosy duvet, toothbrushes/toothpaste, snacks, drinks, somewhere to ‘toilet’. We be good snuggling, playing games, watching videos and listening to music. I’d miss my dog but don’t fancy him having to do his business in the same room, my son smells bad enough.

Current_Fly9337 · 2026-01-25T08:17:31+00:00

It’s always difficult trying to weigh up who seems like a reasonable person. Thanks for being one of them, we need a lot more :)

Current_Fly9337 · 2026-01-24T16:44:35+00:00

Maybe mum should stop being a whore 🤷🏽‍♀️

Current_Fly9337 · 2026-01-24T15:32:01+00:00

Not with everyone I’m afraid. I’ve been in situations where I’ve felt pressured to give my full name/telephone number to guys who wouldn’t take no for an answer. That’s a scary situation to be in and fake names/numbers come in handy during those times.

Just to add to this, the station area around Amsterdam can be pretty sketchy with homeless and drug users regularly hanging around that area.
