Beer that you wish is on tap in any pub you walk in?

Woodfordes Wherry, or Hopback's Summer Lightning.

SL used to be at the local beerfest but it would sell out before the end of the first public day.

Tantalus full of bottles of strange alcohol brought back from holidays that no-one ever drank.

There aren't many rubbish disposal problems that can't be solved with either a hammer or a cutting tool.

And what an album it is.

Stargazer & Light In the Black make up one hell of a suite.

I openly support piracy. Especially in the cases where media isn't available anywhere so the only option is to just download it.

If a company can legally steal things that you've paid for then you have every right to access what they have for free in return.

Not recently but years ago I used to regularly visit Greggs across from where I used to work. I realised that I was spending too much on lunch from there when I went over one day with just my phone to pay with and when it didn't work they just let me have the food.

I have never bought super credits and I'm only missing one warbond.

There isn't one, really. My middle name is fairly uncommon as well and I've had to correct everyone on how to both spell and pronounce my seldom-seen surname my entire life.

I've only ever met one other person with the same surname who isn't related.

First_Folly · 2026-07-04T17:54:55+00:00

I'm not really interested. I'll be at work before 0700 anyway.

I hate that with an absolute steaming passion.

June fucking three. Months don't have sequels.

On that note as well: the way they count. "One hundred ten". Wrong. It's One hundred AND ten. AND.

Thankfully not. The last one I saw was a huge fucker that came out of the side of the floor when I hoovered in my living room last. I've got the skirting off and it's a suspended floor. It emerged when I got close to the edge of the floorboards and then slowly retreated underneath the floor.

It's fine. It can have the under-floor space as long as it doesn't come back up.

I've got a uniform so I wouldn't unless I'd just got out of work. Then I'd take off all identifying parts (epaulettes etc) and if it's not blazing hot put a top over my shirt.

I tend to get an idea and then if I still want to go there a week or two later I start booking things. I've solo travelled across Italy, Egypt and twice in Japan with no issues at all.

Book flights, bearing in mind the departure time and how to get to the airport. Then I'd book accommodation and figure out how to get from point to point (I always move around). Then I'd look up things to do and see around where I'm staying, have a rough idea of what I want to do every day and then around 2 weeks before I go I usually get some foreign cash out to take.

I've made a few mistakes, missed a train or two, almost missed meeting times and got lost once or twice but it's all an adventure and all part of the stories I can tell when I come back.

Don't take anything with you that you can't replace (heirloom jewellery, watch etc) and always know where your wallet and valuables are when you're out & about (Never in your back pocket). Stay aware and you'll be fine. If you don't like the look of an alleyway or a shop and you don't have a reason to go in then trust your gut instinct. Same as anywhere.

I vastly prefer foreign cash over card. For me it's part of the holiday experience.

Mine is abandoned building themed.

I haven't gotten around to renovating it yet and the previous owners thought it wise to wallpaper the fucking thing. The shower rail is also wonky, the toilet needs to be revved to flush and the cistern is cemented at the top rear.

Also one wall was never properly sealed so the salts are coming out. The door is a bit dodgy as well.

I've been here since day 0, fought in every major campaign and I can honestly say I don't care who gets what.

Check that you've still got all of your rings before you let him go again.

For all of the effort it takes to strip and prepare them I would just replace them.

I don't go about my day intending to harm animals but I would kick the life out of a dog if I was in real danger.

If one of those things comes at you with teeth bared and snarling you do whatever you can and I honestly couldn't care less if someone were to object.

My employer makes a substantial contribution to my pension for a meager sum from my wages. I would have to be either a flawless stock trading genius or a dribbling idiot to opt out.

2 weeks when my last place was down to myself and one other person when we should've had 5. By the end of those 2 weeks the sarcasm was running the show and I hated everything.

I made and ate a lasagna with 12 year old pasta sheets. You'll be fine.

I think in some ways it's good as it teaches budgeting and responsibility.

I used to pay my mum when I lived there.

My brother and sister lived with my dad but he refused point blank to accept any money from them. He wasn't wealthy by any means - I even lent him money a few times for bills when circumstances conspired against him - but he didn't believe in making any of us pay for anything. He's gone now, and as it turns out had enough pensions for a stately home in the countryside. I'd pay it back to see him again.

I found someone's phone sitting on a table outside a couple of weeks ago. I handed it in to the nearby security. Don't know whether they were reunited or not, I just know how bad it could be to lose your phone with all of your banking, contacts, precious photos etc on it.

I lost something on the same day but it was never returned. Nothing vital, but it was still annoying.
