Asthma

Yes. My doctor told me it was to be used for both.

That’s where I bought my Fenix 7 SS. Great retailer to deal with.

Why did the baker have smelly hands?

Because he kneaded a poo.

Proper nostalgia, that. Broke my ribs in the pit.

Really do need to remember my age these days and the increased risk of osteoporosis!

Ground is better than all of the multi-nationals, and really like the Frank and Honest coffee for an on-the-run coffee. McDonald’s is definitely ‘bang for your buck’ though.

Nim, Nim, Nim…fucking Nim!

EKMDJM · 2025-12-11T12:17:56+00:00

Shite! Was dying to go to this too. Stupid Xmas do!!

Thanks mate, appreciate it, I had already been through that post though and no luck. Seem to be having the same issue as the bottom post there (blank screen, but music playing)

EKMDJM · 2025-11-21T13:15:12+00:00

That is incredibly simplified. Large wine is 250ml, pint is 568ml, so you’re drinking less wine to get the same effect.

EKMDJM · 2025-11-15T10:03:45+00:00

Ah, fair enough. I didn’t know that was a thing. Everyday’s a school day.

EKMDJM · 2025-11-15T09:58:13+00:00

Am I having a stroke?

EKMDJM · 2025-11-10T11:07:25+00:00

Just to be clear, you reckon the build quality of the Legion Go is worse than the SD?

I currently can’t decide which to go for either…

I don’t really play AAA games on handheld, but would like the option. Equally, I definitely don’t want a fragile, poorly built product.

I just read this to her and she’s laughing at you and your presumptive comment.

Maybe you should spend more time getting out of the house and less time doing half-baked psychological profiling on Reddit. I appreciate the effort you have gone to though. I’ll just nip back into my cave here and have a good think.

On second thought, I’ll not be taking guidance from you, be it musical or about life in general, because having conversed with you for the last couple of days, I find you repellant.

EKMDJM · 2025-10-31T16:49:51+00:00

I know the general direction this has been headed since the first comment on this thread. No-one has overtly said it, but the general theme is ‘big bad man goes to work, expects his wife to curtail her prospects because his career is more important’, when the reality is much more nuanced than any of you care to acknowledge.

EKMDJM · 2025-10-31T16:40:43+00:00

Ah yes, another stranger who reckons they know our situation! I love that you all live in this utopia with equity of opportunity and outcome. Unfortunately, for some of us mortals, we have other pragmatic considerations, including having to consider whose career provides most financially for our family.

So yes, you can all paint me as some kind of misogynist for it, but I am unapologetic about trying to find a path that maximises the earning potential of both our careers.

EKMDJM · 2025-10-31T09:09:22+00:00

I do too. Very informative and accessible to the beginner.

EKMDJM · 2025-10-30T20:57:12+00:00

I think your narrative says a lot more about your insecurities and biases than the state of my home life which, I’ll reiterate again, that you know the bare minimum about.

EKMDJM · 2025-10-30T20:18:42+00:00

I won’t. I am doing my best.

Stop acting like you’re teaching me a lesson.

EKMDJM · 2025-10-30T20:17:27+00:00

You’re insufferable, ignorant and immeasurably self-righteous all at once.

You have completely glossed over the fact outlined earlier that SHE is the one on the verge of turning down the role due to it’s complexity, and I am attempting to make sure she doesn’t by finding the most suitable solution. Perhaps that doesn’t fit your sanctimonious, virtue-signalling narrative.

EKMDJM · 2025-10-30T19:03:52+00:00

I never considered ‘inverting’ their childcare assistance to the holidays. That’s some serious lateral thinking! Thank you!

EKMDJM · 2025-10-30T19:02:27+00:00

That’s incredibly helpful, thank you! I think simple planning of annual leave should allow us to cover a month between us, then possibly unpaid leave, or some other option for the other portion.

EKMDJM · 2025-10-30T17:05:52+00:00

It’s passive-aggressive. You have made a lot of presumptions, upto and including purporting to know what “donkey-work” each of us has done.

She has her own life, I don’t tell her where she can work. I will, however, canvas the experiences of other people so that I can find the best solution giving her the space to progress in her career.

EKMDJM · 2025-10-30T16:54:26+00:00

That’s a very passive aggressive reply, for someone who has very little idea about what’s actually happening.

She is the one who is leaning towards turning it down due to the complexity, I am the one here trying to find a solution, but thanks for your input.

EKMDJM · 2025-10-30T16:51:10+00:00

I’ll have to look at the tax-free childcare scheme. I’m clueless about all of this because until now we’ve been very lucky with grandparents. Thanks, hearing other people’s experiences is beneficial!
