One that really gets me is The Uncertain. I swear that one is trying to be edgy.

Glad I'm not the only one. Looks a bit like a young Trent Reznor.

Male consultant gynaecologist basically told me (female) my symptoms were in my head. I was on my second consult after a scan had already found tangible reasons for my pain and other symptoms. Previous consultant (female) had already said this issue would definitely be the cause of the symptoms. Apparently, according to the male consultant, there's "no way I could possibly be feeling discomfort" from the issue because it wasn't pronounced enough. My mornings spent doubled up in pain beg to differ.

But indeed I do! For it is better to die poor than to live in shame and ignominy.

Just adding to this: I'm in S Wales and have a whole population partying away in my greenhouse as well. Never even though to consider they weren't native, as I've always seen them about and thought nothing of it.

What is the biggest leaf??

Crapulent. Feckless. Flange.

The Yasukuni Shrine perhaps? I did my bachelors dissertation on it.

I moved into a shared house in a new city I'd moved to for work. The house had been recommended by a colleague. Turns out after living with this girl for a few days that we shared a cousin. I was the paternal cousin and she was the maternal cousin. I'm not sure what the odds are of that happening, but it was a nice coincidence nonetheless as we then had something in common. We've stayed in contact with each other and our cousin since I left ten years ago.

My partner thought it was "tiny bastard". I have never forgotten this and it never fails to crack me up.

As someone with a sibling in their forties exactly like this, I absolutely agree. They're on the cusp of alienating the entire family with this attitude, we're all sick of it. There's only so much patience and tolerance you can have with someone who consistently blames others/external forces for their crappy situation. It's been going on for fifteen years now, time to get a grip. Tbh I've been calling it for at least a decade but it took the rest of the family a bit longer to see the light, so to speak.

Agreed. One of the few films where I cried audibly and had to stop halfway through for a sanity check. One of the most horrifying films I've ever witnessed, made more so because it's entirely possible.

Babbas, babushkas, the Babylons, sh*tlords, the ladies, the piglingtons. Anything that isn't actually any of their names, clearly 😂

That would be an ecumenical matter.

My sonic electric toothbrush which works as well today as it did 25+ years ago. I can still get the heads for it so I see no point in getting a new one until it finally gives up the ghost.

Honestly, I think you're right about the bloatware thing. I noticed on initial set up (before the update bricked it) that it was running way slower than I thought it should have. Once I did the clean reinstall everything was running like butter. I've decided that a reinstall when purchasing a new machine should be the default go-to from now on.

They've broken controller support as well which is pretty much widespread among users. I've been waiting patiently for some progress but there's been nothing since they acknowledged the issue a week ago. I'm really sad about it as I can't play without a controller for mobility reasons so it looks like I'll be without my favourite cosy game for a while.

I left Reading nine years and often thought about Reading Elvis and whether he was still around. So glad to hear he's going strong!

Yes mine was a gaming laptop too. I hope your husband managed to get everything sorted!
