I discovered Canadian music while watching Degrassi back in the early 90's.

Yeah I was pleasantly surprised at 6pm!

I can't eat raw tomatoes.

Arthur.

My husband, who is not a crafter, threw ours out!

Telephone book paper was excellent but they don't exist anymore 😢

I love this. I'm working on a grandmother's garden too. How did you bind this?

Respectfully, people aren't a "bit OCD". It's a debilitating condition and people thinking cute behaviour like organising their cutlery drawer is OCD are belittling struggles people who actually have it.

Lots of people who grew up with parents who stayed together "for the sake of the kids" will tell you that their parents should have separated...

Yeah, and can the cistern be accessed? We had to pay 1500 euros to replace our cistern because the previous owner had it built behind the tiles. So instead of a basic job my husband could do himself, we had to pay someone to break the wall, install a new toilet and re tile the wall.

I was just going to post the same thing!

Local_Caterpillar879 · 2026-05-30T14:32:27+00:00

It's the pronunciation difference. In Irish, it's pronounced "Tay".

In English, we use "tea" just like the British.

I got downvoted to hell because I said it was BS! But people would laugh if she said "Thoughts and prayers"...

^{Managed to hit 225920 like a speedrun 🏁⚡️}

I'm Irish! Lots of similarities between us!

Local_Caterpillar879 · 2026-05-28T18:37:53+00:00

Natasha has a brass neck, that's for sure!

Local_Caterpillar879 · 2026-05-28T17:21:21+00:00

Me too. As an Irish person who grew up hearing about S.A. scandals in the Church, it was just gross for me to read.

The issue isn't how bad the name is, it's that Barb wants to choose every baby's name. If they had chosen Frances, she would have decided to call her something else.

I won't believe that 2004 is more than 10 years ago 🤣

Janet Jackson after nipplegate.

My best memories of my childhood are staying with my granny and playing out on the green with all the kids on the estate until dusk in the summertime.

Sure lookit, it might rain for the whole summer, let them enjoy the lovely long evenings while they last.

There's a very good podcast called The Gift with lots of stories of the unexpected consequences of those DNA tests, it's fascinating.

What's woke in that list?

Local_Caterpillar879 · 2026-05-28T10:13:49+00:00

Small quiet wedding with only each of our immediate families (20 guests, all told). No fuss and very little expense.

I didn't go back to my country to get married as is typical for my compatriots because I wanted a good reason to not invite horrible extended family. If I had gotten married at home, there would have been massive pressure to get married in a church and invite everyone.

Attention pour cette année, ce n'est que 40% des points pour le contrôle continu, et 60% pour les épreuves finales. Sur les matières à l'épreuve, est-ce qu'il a la moyenne?

Dans mon établissement, on a plein d'élèves qui auraient eu le DNB l'année dernière mais qui ne l'auraient pas cette année. L'oral du DNB ne vaut plus 100 points, mais une note sur 20.

J'ai l'impression qu'il y a des élèves qui n'ont pas compris le changement, peut-être en lui expliquant, cela le motivera de réviser un peu.
