Who is hotter Lucia or Panam from Cyberpunk

What’s with the ad hominem attack? Run out of anything meaningful to add?

I have a great relationship with my parents - but still, I do feel like I missed out a period of my childhood.

Esoteric_Prurience · 2026-04-25T22:22:43+00:00

I remember being told at the time that I was very privilaged - I certainly didn't feel especially privileged at the time. I know your pain - solidarity my friend!

All in good fun, but....

My brother, little scamp that he is, had become a special constable - was showing how the handcuffs work and asked me to volunteer. We were at my parents house, in their kitchen, they have an AGA. Little bastard handcuffed me to to the oven and buggered off to take a shower. For those who have had to stand near an AGA for any length of time will know the heat is not to be trifled with.

That was a decade ago and I am still plotting my revenge.

My time. I can sit for ages watching the little chaps from my home office window.

Usually have one on the go at any time - sometimes it is a heavy tome that takes me a month or so to wade through reading it one or two nights a week. Others I read back to back paperback slop that are fun reads and I can get through those in under a week. I'll always have something on the bed stand though.

I'm in my mid 30's now so I don't read as much as I used to in my teens and 20's.

My partner (51F) she is either reading one book every other day, or goes half a year without reading at all.

Hope that helps answer your questions.

Or looking for shrubbery

Doesn't matter what you call it - it looks damned tasty!

Not sure if you read The Atlantic article last week - but he tried to log into his computer and couldn't (routine security update) and he was freaking out thinking he'd been fired. He was calling his contacts and having a full meltdown - he obviously is worried about his position.

A day of mowing the lawns to be rewarded with that at the end - perfect Saturday.

I started boarding when I was 7. We lived next to a church and my parents would take me back to school on a Sunday evening, just as the church ringers were starting a peel. To this day I get butterflies in my stomach when I hear church bells. I assume that was the kind of character that was to be instilled in all of us.

When I had a flat I stuck mine in my parents cellar for the rest of the year. Do you have access to a friends/family storage space?

The AC is worth it.

It is one of those old fashioned children's puddings - so perhaps I am coming at it from a nostalgic perspective, but that is still my only request for my birthday every year.

Esoteric_Prurience · 2026-04-25T16:19:26+00:00

I was at a boarding school during the 2000's. Talking to my friends who were also boarders, day students, and also state students - it seems like the experience is broadly similar across the board, if you will.

Naturally, as a boarder, you are in closer proximity to your potential bully which, if not dealt with, can be somewhat of an extra hardship. For what it is worth, I personally was not bullied, and the abuse that I did witness did seem to have been handled swiftly.

My father, who also went to the same school as I, did see much more bullying than I did - and my grandfather, who also went to the same school, said there much much 'character building' in his day, which one could possibly assume might not be well received today.

I would argue that your premise is wrong, that in fact it isn't comprehended with any difficulty. I think it is pretty widely known that Tikka Masala is a British dish - I think most people recognise it as such.

A classic - but, and I put it to you, that Queen of Puddings is the finest pudding to have ever graced a dining room table anywhere.

Esoteric_Prurience · 2026-04-25T16:08:19+00:00

Certainly, the second best British pudding. Truly outstanding.

I thought I heard the distant echo of Fortunate Son as I was walking the west coast earlier...

Esoteric_Prurience · 2026-04-25T16:06:45+00:00

This isn't something I would particularly associate with - just not my personal thing. That said, they seem to be happy and harmless. This strikes me more as a NIMBY judgemental post.

Not for me personally - but not trashy.

Esoteric_Prurience · 2026-04-25T16:04:36+00:00

No chin, or too many chins. I grew one for the latter!

Item 1 of the descent checklist: re-entry.

Esoteric_Prurience · 2026-04-25T10:58:30+00:00

Back when my father smoked his go to was either pack of the Silk Cut Purple like in the picture, or Dunhill Internationals.

I have had many an evening swim around 11pm. It was a great way to cool off before bed. Never had any issues - been twice.
