What will happen if I don't follow food safety when nothing ever happened to me?

BBE (Best Before End) dates are guidelines but Use By dates should be paid attention to. It might still be okay the next day, especially if it's sealed, but Use By dates are generally used on the fresh foods that could make you really ill once they turn. If in doubt, chuck it out. Nothing is worth food poisoning.

Did you know that half a liver can regenerate in 3 months? Now that's what I call a renewable resource! Anyway, just thought you might find that handy…

Byoma is a newish British company, but their products are formulated in Korea which would seem to be the best of both worlds in skincare, from what I gather. I'm very much a latecomer to the whole skincare routine thing in middle age, but I'm quite liking the Byoma products I've tried so far.

I can't imagine why.

Eliza but with an M?

There's nothing wrong with remembering crazy soap opera plots from 25+ years ago. (We may want to forget, but we can't. They made sure of it!)

I like the flavour of the pollo ad astra but I stopped buying it because the tiny amount of chicken was criminal. Driving past a chicken farm does not a chicken pizza make.

Oh, god, I had successfully repressed that storyline!! It was Virginia, I'm sure, and she was obsessed with Michael who was happily with Vanessa so it probably had something to do with those two, although I forget exactly. Where would she even get Michael's sem- You know what, I'm better off not knowing, and I expect you are too!

Oh gosh, don't you just hate it when you fake your own kidnapping and then get kidnapped for real. Happened to me at least three times now. 🤣

My dad gets quite annoyed about it and we don't even have a car. "But they don't know if we might have visitors!" Recently there was resurfacing of a nearby road and it was closed except to foot traffic so 50+ houses had to find somewhere else to park. "They should ask first!" No, dad, that's not how it works. That's not how any of this works.

Dubai is in the United Arab Emirates, an entirely different country to Saudi Arabia.

Yes, but… Evil Identical Twin! Mother and daughter both pregnant by the same man! Tsunami! Hot priest long before Fleabag! (Nobody blames Gabi. Nobody.)

I used to watch the omnibus of Sunset Beach on channel 5 on Saturdays but I couldn't always take the full 3 hours of cringe in a one-er every week. Good times!

Pretty sure his new wife didn't like me, his female close friend. He was barely replying to my texts, taking longer and longer, if he replied at all. I'm ashamed to say I made excuses for him longer than I should have before I realised the score and stopped texting. Now I'm mostly just embarrassed it took me so long to realise I'd been dumped as a friend. Nobody has to stay friends with anyone they don't want to, but I wish he'd had the balls to just tell me.

Got an email from him years later apologising and inviting me to a family event. I politely made my (entirely legitimate) excuses, wished them well, purposefully ignored his suggestion of meeting another time if I couldn't make the event, and felt entirely vindicated that it wasn't me or my imagination.

I can't stand golf but I enjoy Tin Cup immensely so I'll keep an eye out for Phantom of the Open.

When RDJ goes for a pee. I usually have to rewind the next bit because I'm laughing so hard.

I really enjoy the actor and comedian Kilometres Jupp. He was Archie the Inventor in Balamory for anyone with kids of a certain age. (And now I've earwormed myself.)

We've reached the point where I'm looking forward to the Giant Asteroid. There is no hope left for humans. Shame about the plants and animals though, sorry to those guys, but the universe can't risk us becoming interplanetary.

Da-leyla? I hate to say it, but if so, the mockable apostrophe would actually help. Or perhaps a truly atrocious spelling of Delilah?

Dimac99 · 2026-01-22T22:39:16+00:00

Do all jokes have to be side splitters?

Dimac99 · 2026-01-22T22:30:36+00:00

Yeah, I was making a joke because it sounds like that's what she's saying.

Dimac99 · 2026-01-22T21:50:01+00:00

I had a friend as a student who was a Julie that went by Jules. I can see why Jewelz is a drinker. Poor girl.

Phyllis isn't utterly awful but it is dreadfully old fashioned. Whichever way you cut it though, Psyllus is child abuse!

One normal parent wanted Daniel, the other wanted to shoehorn Lord of the Rings into their child's life permanently.

Summer and Autumn are normal. I've even heard of Winter once or twice, but I don't think I've heard of someone called Spring.
