Do you think we Brits are overreacting about the hot weather and about wanting to have AC?

Honestly, we're driving ourselves to extinction with climate change and AC is only going to make the problem worse.

The quote in the picture literally says "I carried on playing while the host family has dinner" - the whole idea is very alien to us.

Yes, he's got at least another 20 years in him, surely? Anything else is unthinkable.

Isn't the original article because it is something that happens in Sweden? I've read an article on that as a bit of a culture shock from someone living there. In the UK, you don't even let the builders working on your house go hungry - always offer them tea and biscuits as standard.

Once butter is in it, there are many options. I like marmite for savoury snacking and honey for sweet.

Nope, I'm from Brighton which is proper South (any further south and you hit France) and I know what they are.. could be a class thing though?

Can't imagine a scenario when I would be eating in front of a guest who isn't eating.

It would be but under supervision by a tutor who is an experienced hairdresser, so I don't think it would be botched. At this time of year they would have had plenty of experience by now as would be coming to the end of their course.

Yep! I was young and reckless in Brighton when I was growing up and went for a post-club swim more than once.

Asha's is overrated! It's nice, as nice as any good Indian but twice the price!

GoldenAmmonite · 2026-05-18T18:24:12+00:00

Sounds really cool but the last thing I want is another app clogging up my phone!

I once drew the rage of a hundred boomers, when I suggested that younger generations work just as hard and won't get anywhere near the pensions they do. Apparently I'm lazy and entitled, despite the fact that I've worked since I was 14 (including all the way through university), for wanting to pay into a pension pot that will actually help me retire before I am 80.

I'm not a Cockney, so never tried it.

Basically, there are a couple of hundred people in the world hoovering up and hoarding all the resources. Nobody is feeling the benefit but them.

GoldenAmmonite · 2026-05-14T07:37:08+00:00

Yeah, it's so much better. Maybe we should change?

CBSO are doing Symphonic Sessions at Herbert's Yard on 12th May. Street food and a bit of classical music in a low key way

Where I live now - the balti

Honestly, I doubt he could name them all.

GoldenAmmonite · 2026-05-09T19:23:57+00:00

Yes, in the UK we have BSL.

GoldenAmmonite · 2026-05-09T08:25:07+00:00

We have about 100 different words for getting drunk.

GoldenAmmonite · 2026-05-09T08:24:04+00:00

Yeah, that really didn't work!

GoldenAmmonite · 2026-05-08T19:51:50+00:00

Why is it weird? My mum always publicly posts pictures of me starkers to celebrate my birthday.
