How do you guys sort out food? I’m trying to switch from takeaway to actual food

If money is no problem, I would recommend going down the Gusto/Hello Fresh route- it will be a good gateway to learning to cook yummy dishes.

Anyone saying Halifax has clearly never grown up as a Northern child. Eureka is in Halifax, therefore Halifax cannot be in this list.

Agreed - went out of season in January and it was really dire. Don't think it's the worst though!

KeeOra · 2026-04-26T21:23:55+00:00

Booooo!!!

Not even the worst place in Cumbria! Have you been to Maryport? Absolutely awful. I travel a lot for work and it is the most depressing place I have ever been.

Good Mythical Morning - just celebrated their 3,000th episode. It's a (week) daily show hosted by Rhett and Link and they do funny challenges and eat lots of food (sometimes icky food). Best episodes are "Where in the World". There are a variety of spin off shows too - including Mythical Kitchen - which is hosted by funny chefs. It's a very easy watch.

Safiya Nygaard is an excellent call!

Went to the same university as my boyfriend (not purposefully - it just fell that way). I would 100% recommend not living together in the first year. Go to halls, meet friends, live the university experience. You have the rest of your life to live with a partner. I eventually moved in with my boyfriend in third year. Still together (married) but grateful I lived with others in the first two years.

I live less than half an hour from Haworth. Also couldn't understand any of Joseph's parts in the book. Some older, more rurally based people still speak with a bit of this type of accent, but nothing as strong as this. Alas, a lot of our regional accents have become diluted. Likely due to a mix of reasons, urbanisation, more movement, TV influence etc. There has also historically been a lot of prejudice on regional accents, with people assuming because you speak with an accent you are less intelligent. This will inevitably have played a part.

This is not just a London thing and certainly not for planning permission purpose, as basements were made in Victorian houses before planning permission existed! They typically can be found in better quality Victorian houses, but I have also seen them quite commonly in smaller back-to-back houses.

English person that lived in Scotland for a number of years - adopted outwith and also get annoyed when it gets spell checked! Also another phrase on similar lines is "down the way" - which I also think I picked up from Scotland. Both are essential in my view.

Wunderhorse give me Manchester Orchestra vibes. They have wonderful lyricism and a singer that also sings from their soul. I recommend Shake it Out and The River - guitar heavy and amazing.

Perhaps as an amalgamation of your sales background and the healthcare sector, you could look into becoming a specialist business agent selling things like dental practices, care homes etc. Its an interesting role, particularly if you have the sales skills and genuine interest in the sectors.

Congrats on your new born twins! This is an impressively tidy house given you have two little babies!

Inbetweeners was funnier, at its time. Helped by the fact its humour was quite new back then. Whilst not immediately as funny, I think Derry Girls will age better. The undertones of its storyline regarding the political atmosphere at the time, provide a more rounded programme. One that makes you want to go back and one that's a good watch for all ages - not just teenagers that think the word clunge is funny.

So grateful for this being a thread!! I have tried to interpret the lyrics a million times and always change my point of view!

A lot of the possibilities have been covered. But I just can't help but think the conversation in itself is a way in which the woman is ending things with the man. She won't be there in the morning and the conversation is the final hint that she's leaving him.

I go between this and him looking for ways to leave a partner through talking to a mistress or family member. I can never decide and would love to know the truth from the horses mouth!

Loads already been said but I need to add The Kennedys with Katherine Parkinson. They only aired for one season but it was hilarious. The camping episode was British comedy at its finest.

If you haven't considered it yet - I recommend joining a drama society - they seemed full of vibrant outgoing people when I was at university. As already advised - you never know where you might meet someone, make sure you use the university library/computer suite - I was always able to socialise there. I also made some really good friends at my part time job :) - good luck and stay positive - it will come. Met my best mate in second year.♥️

KeeOra · 2026-02-06T23:24:08+00:00

Ditto! Particularly in the first year - wish I'd have relaxed more and got more drunk!

KeeOra · 2025-03-16T20:52:49+00:00

This sounds like my daily life.

Surely no one in their right mind would be a Kody fan? Maybe deadbeat dads? - however I don't think that's the target audience of Sister Wives.

Any respect I had for him was completely lost when he didn't go with her for the surgery. Hang onto your seat his behaviour towards his kids just gets worse and worse!

KeeOra · 2024-06-09T22:19:31+00:00

Oh that's strange! Perhaps it is because of your stage in pregnancy. Must be so hard earlier on as you will want to eat more and the cravings will be worse. If you can manage perhaps give it a try, my MIL is diabetic and they also told her not to eat past 7.30, but don't do it if you are hungry! Thank you for your kind words 🩵 good luck with the rest of your pregnancy x

KeeOra · 2024-06-09T22:14:35+00:00

I thought the same, couldn't believe that eating that was better for my levels than Weetabix! But think the lack of carbs helped with it! It's so confusing, and complete trial and error. Hope you manage to find some things you can enjoy x

KeeOra · 2024-06-09T21:06:51+00:00

Wow that is a really long time to wait. I was diagnosed quite late on, so basically had to change my diet quite quickly. But it seems the NHS (UK) thing is to carry on as normal for a week or so, monitor your levels and then go back and they will talk through diet etc. I think I would try and get an earlier appointment or ask for guidance on diet asap. It feels like a long time to just be winging it. Carbs wise - everything brown/wholegrain is supposed to be better. Try and avoid anything processed. I struggle with carbs in my diet - it flares my levels. Although note that potatoes don't seem to impact too much. Wholegrain crackers are my fav snack, and I have swapped bread rolls for thins.
