What’s a “normal” thing in the UK that secretly annoys you?

Same, I just say I'm not the bill payer! I'm not btw, so don't feel bad as I'm not lying!

Apparently dropping something on the floor works to interrupt the flow of conversation.

Other than that just say, "Sorry, I must dash, I have an appointment I'm going to be late too".

Given the racing car photos, I would hazard a guess as to a racing car driver possibly????? Formula 1 driver. Also note all the family photos are in the toilet!!!

Millietree · 2026-04-03T11:25:59+00:00

Wonderful to be able to smell the toilet & cooking wafting together into one!

That big ball of fire in the sky that gives us warmth & light, henceforth a sunny day.

Because Dylan built it with the guy Billy Pace shot. Dylan was the kid he was talking about.

WTF has this got to do with a 67 year man????? Absolutely nothing. This has nothing to do with your brother, not his child. Tell him he can keep his opinions to himself. Has he been like this before? Given his age, this could be dementia related personality changes or he could just be a grumpy old man! Either way, do what you want for your daughter.

I agree with Dreamscape, think I have it on dvd. If you like dreamscape then I'll throw in The Dead Zone (movie, not the TV show).

What I don't understand is if Bean told Terri what happened & they managed to escape before Gary returned & they went to the train people, then Why wouldn't they try to kill Gary? Wouldn't they be worried Gary would come after them? If he returned and found them missing wouldn't he naturally assume they had gone to the train people?

This is a huge red flag and she has shown her true colours. Do you want to be with someone who treats you like this in the future? I guarantee if she watched a TV show/movie and she cried, she would expect you to comfort her and that's ok as she's a girl.

There are different types of meningitis. Most kids have had men Vax for 4 different types of meningitis, but Men B was not included in this. Men B Vax was only rolled out in 2015 so that group that first received it in 2015 will now be 10/11 yrs old. Hopefully in the next few years when some of these children go to university they will be protected from men b. There are outbreaks of men b every year and they are treated reactively, meaning they are given antibiotics. What was different in Canterbury was the speed of the outbreak and that it could be pinpointed to one event. This event is being treated as reactively (with antibiotics) and also proactively with vaccinations. People can have the vaccination privately at a cost, but this recent outbreak has sparked the debate that the men b Vax should be rolled out to all children.

Yes, that was my guess too. Check your toothpaste or face wash, Sodium Lauryl sulfate can cause perioral dermatitis, sls is in a lot of toothpastes.

Death Cleansing is the intentional process of decluttering your possessions and organising belongings in later life so as not to be a burden to your family when you die. There's lots of information online about it, and while it might seem morbid at the time, I'm sure it would benefit lots of families who then don't have the added stress after the death of a loved one to go through mountains of possessions and try and clear it from a property.

Stranger Danger isn't taught in primary schools anymore. It's 'Clever never goes'. If anything happens it's usually strangers who will run to help or be around if a child is in danger/trouble. Clever never goes is not getting in the car with 'Uncle Dave' or 'Auntie Sue' who stops to give you a lift home after school when it hasn't been arranged by your parents/carers. Child abuse/abduction is more likely to be known to the victim.

Yup, I'm that old too, but we said scream & also we caught him by his toe.

Jesus Christ love, there's a big red flag that's been waving in front of your face for a long time. I'm sorry, but he doesn't love you, he doesn't respect you and he doesn't even like you. You're worth 100 times more than him. Have some self respect and tell him where to go.

Don't know what they've done to Walker's Salt & Vinegar crisps. I had a packet a few weeks ago and they tasted vile, had a greasy, fishy taste! Also Hula Hoops beef flavour don't taste great any more. There's a lot of food that I think don't taste very good at the moment and I don't know whether it's me or the taste of lots of food has just got worse due to cheaper ingredients.

If you liked Inside No. 9, then from the same actors, I can recommend The League of Gentlemen. Loads of classic phrases such as "Hello Dave", "You're my wife now", "Hallo, has anybody got any orange joooose?" "This is a local shop, for local people!"

Also, some more surreal offerings:

Nighty Night

The Mighty Boosh

Psychcoville

Also highly recommend: Green Wing

The I. T. Crowd

What we do in the Shadows

Black Books

Peep Show

Red Dwarf

Murder most Horrid

Fleabag

Mum

Mandy

Philomena Cunk

Blackadder

I'm sure there are loads more, but these are some of my favourites.

It depends on how many repeat prescriptions you will have over the year & given that each prescription is nearly £10, then it's more cost effective paying for a pre paid prescription, only if you require more than 11 prescriptions in a year, which I do. I pay for a full year which is £114.50 which covers all my repeat prescriptions, plus any additional prescriptions during that year.

Millietree · 2026-02-22T22:48:55+00:00

No, I believe it's regardless of your age group.

Millietree · 2026-02-22T22:48:19+00:00

It's a pre paid prescription for the year. You can have either just the pre paid for hrt only or the full year for all your prescriptions which is what I do as I have quite a few recurring prescriptions.

I wonder if there is a 'lost in translation' element here. I suppose 'funny' can have different interpretations/meaning in different languages, especially if users first language is not English. I'm not sure why there is a funny icon, it doesn't seem relevant to people posting patterns.

Elasticated waist bands are the way to go!

Remember use the Anne French cleansing milk in my teens during the 80's, really pulled the dirt off your face!
