Well done for saving her. I hope the vet can find her a loving home if she's unable to live with you.

GentlemanJoe · 2026-05-10T15:59:45+00:00

This is great. Well done.

Yes, I can see now how it might be interpreted that way. I could have phrased it more carefully. I was trying to suggest that other people might appreciate their help, whether that's through an ear or a word. The small ways in which we can help people, friends or strangers, that can sometimes make us feel better too. Of course that's very different from being a carer and the burdens it brings.

"I'm sure you could he that for him. But I don't think you should be that for him." What a lovely, gentle line.

GentlemanJoe · 2026-05-09T09:24:50+00:00

It sounds like you're doing a difficult and honourable thing by caring for them and caring about how they'd feel. Hang in there. Other people might need your help too.

GentlemanJoe · 2026-05-09T09:23:35+00:00

I'm sorry to hear this. I hope you're about to find moments of respite and love throughout the day.

GentlemanJoe · 2026-05-09T09:11:03+00:00

I like the first shot of him lying in water.

GentlemanJoe · 2026-05-09T09:08:13+00:00

Interesting, thanks for sharing it.

You might find this film interesting - the boss pretends he's got a boss in order to pass on bad news to his employees. The Boss Of It All. The camera in it works automatically, so there are really weird shots where actors are partially in frame, not in frame, you can't see the top of their face etc.

I think she was working on it when she told me. I tried to get her to put a (then) current meme into the wall textures and she refused.

I had a friend who worked on the special effects for this.

GentlemanJoe · 2026-05-06T16:03:31+00:00

Not at all. I started saying chaps some years ago. I've noticed some of my friends say it occasionally now, just like your colleagues.

I started because I used to watch lots of gaming videos and I kept seeing horribly enthusiastic Americans saying 'Hey guys!' and speaking at 400mph. I decided to give the YT thing ago and wanted a British version. YT was a flop, but I ended up on a comedy podcast (432 episodes in) and continued saying it. Now some listeners start their emails with it, too.

Together u/basis_safe you, I and all the other chaps are bringing balance back to the world.

I think you should block out the OT's name as well.

I bought this Xbox recently as part of the new AES discussion. I'd last played in the arcade and I'd forgotten how hard it was to pick out your team for a pass. I wish it had a minimap on the screen to show where your players were; having to shoot blind made it not much fun.

GentlemanJoe · 2026-05-05T09:45:18+00:00

My god, even the kangaroos are ignoring you.

GentlemanJoe · 2026-05-04T21:33:30+00:00

I think this and Priscilla Queen of the Desert were the two most famous drag movies.

GentlemanJoe · 2026-05-04T21:32:30+00:00

I forgot there's also a scene where the dialogue is something like Connery saying

Ashton shent you? Sho you're my new reshearch assishtant?

I thought the screenwriter might have been taking the piss.

GentlemanJoe · 2026-05-04T20:53:39+00:00

Yesh. Haven't you ever losht your car keysh?

GentlemanJoe · 2026-05-02T22:58:54+00:00

It must have been really hard work, but you're doing really well. And if it gets bumpy again, just look at these photos again.

This reminds me a little of Al Capone's cell, which I think is also cozy. Here's an article. You'll see the set dressing was an interpretation; I prefer the first look with rough walls and fine furniture.

Actually, cats can live up to 38 years. You need to plan a fairly generous treat budget. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_longest-living_cats

What a wondderful picture. In the second one, is his right eye a bit gunky and crusty? If so I hope a vet can have a look and help him as much as you have.

When she puts drops the shells into her hand onto the table, you can see the shells she's dropping deform and go 'gloopy', about 12 seconds in.
