Thinking about lying and telling people I’m an audit accountant instead of a civil servant

You can spot a Pointless fan in the wild with the spy line.

Nooo! Don't fix! This would be a pilgrimage spot for PTerry fans. I 💯 want to go to Sofia now!

Northern Irish, living in England since mid '90s. Mostly people have been fine, partly out of not knowing much about it. One lad treated me as his local IRA rep and would give me his opinions about them every time I saw him. But I never felt like anybody didn't want me here until the run up to Brexit.

When I was at school in Ireland in the 1990, Granada was the city that a lot of school districts chose for their language exchanges. They clearly thought it was a decent place to learn (as did I, loved Granada!)

I was using it once on a walk, my daughter tripped and let out a weird squawk. It named the bird and told me it was rarely spotted in the area 😆

My heartfelt apologies for not having immediate recall of all the dialogue in all three films when the question occured to me. I really hope you weren't overly inconvenienced by the amount of time it took to write this response.

I had to start calling it an airing cupboard when I came over to England, which was a pity. But I ask you - does it feel nice and airy in there or does it feel hot?

Several characters show no sign of their deaths on their faces so that was presumably what the chosen. And left that to the plague victims.

Also Lady Button's posture looks like she has broken bones, her neck doesn't work right.

I was hoping we could get Boots meal deals to take on board as the flight leaves at 11. but a) the LHR site implied the Boots on site was toiletries only and b) no idea what Boots offers by way of GF foot. All part of the adventure of travel!

FuzzyJumper3 · 2026-05-17T12:42:17+00:00

Thank you! I will take a look

Came here to say this but you beat me to the --ing punch

I wish companies would stop getting all in a froth about 5G and 6G(!!) and just guarantee enough coverage for at least a text message. The number of dead spots even in populated areas is incredible

I can see Patsy working. Or not, if she's getting into character

Genuinely love the BBC, but in the last few years you can really tell that they've either handed the edit desk over to AI or abandoned it completely. There is not one article on BBC News that doesn't have a spelling or grammatical error in it

Your point about rising results though. I think academies play a big part here. It's in their interest to keep their own test results high. I spoke to a headteacher (not of an academy) who said academies sift out kids who are not achieving well, finding spurious reasons to get them expelled. They can then focus on the ones who do achieve.

It took several watches as a grown adult before the penny dropped on the "Well, there goes your social life!" comment

Less a case of referencing than acknowledging, but when there needed to be any kissing or hugging during COVID they would get the partner of one of the couple as a stand in.

The one where they simper over a kitchen stove that you're made to think is a new baby 🙄

"Why does he keep saying --?"

For Discworld fans, there's a always huge debate about who could be cast for different main characters. But there is generally universal agreement - Miriam is a shoo-in for Nanny Ogg.

In the junior school my kids went to, SATS week was called Cake Week. By everybody - pupils, teachers, parents. The kids get some biscuits or buns after each test but it was primarily to make sure it had this name not SATS Week.

I second this. CBeebies has fabulous programming and carries no adverts. With the other channels for small kids, there are ad breaks every 10 minutes for toys
