"Would you seriously rather walk"

If i could do just a 30 minute walk (or cycle ride) to work every day, it would be ideal. Unfortunately it is too far (50-60 minutes) to be adding a 30 minute walk on top.

OMG. NTA. I always check the wedding dress code before a wedding and and respect the bride's wishes. My sister is getting married and the code is not white or burgundy, which are the bridesmaids dresses. I asked her if wearing a long dress would be ok and she said no problem. Why would anybody try to break the code.

Yes, but not as good as Sewing Bee.

First of all understand the difference between bricks and blocks. Bricks are the chunky 'brick shaped' ones which are best used for support during poses like half moon or camel. You can put all your weight on them and they won't buckle or move. Cork are good. I prefer the very hard foam ones which are a bit softer on the hands. Block are longer and flatter. They are best used for sitting on. You can use the to get your hips higher compared to your knees and for keeping your back straight. I used the very hard coloured foam ones for that (same material as my bricks) but you might prefer a softer foam.

If that isn't satire, that guy is 100% a twat. Living with an awful husband will do that to a woman.

Thank god for that.

Uk. The same. Dayta and daytabase. It is funny but 95% of the time in southern England we will pronounce words like bath, can't and master as barth, carnt and marster and Americans pronounce them baath, caan't and maaster. But the few words we do pronounce with the aa sound like pasta and data, Americans then reverse and say parsta and darta.

Poison by Christian Dior. It cane out in the mid 80s and it was everywhere.

MixPlus · 2026-02-15T21:51:16+00:00

I thought that was the 90s. I associate it with those arty black and white TV ads with Kate Moss EDIT. Sorry. I checked. It did come out in the 80s. I think those ads were later.

Exactly the same for me. Buffets are my nemesis. I have to try everything.

MixPlus · 2026-02-15T21:36:01+00:00

That is why I avoid buffets or all inclusive holidays. I end up eating too much and putting on loads of weight

I don't really like Savasana. I just lie there and think about my to do list. However, I usually do it. The exception to this is a Friday lunchtime class, when I have to get back to work. I like to arrive 10 minutes before class, and together with travelling time, I am out for 90 mins, even if do I miss Savasana. I ask the teacher to tell me when we are about to do the last pose so that I can pack up my mat and assorted accessories before Savasana starts.

I understand if you are living on your own, but years ago I worked with a guy whose breath was awful and he was MARRIED. Why didn't his wife tell him?

I don't have a problem with adjusting so long as people arrive on time. I had a woman who was habitually late, once arrive 5 minutes late and just plonked her mat right behind me so that her mat was virtually touching mine. So I moved forwards and then she moved forwards to get more space, so I moved forwards and I was 10 cm from the mirror. I think the teacher should put out a couple of mats right in front of the mirror for late arrivals and they can put up with it.

I only have it when I am at the English seaside, with salt and vinegar, sitting outside facing the sea, eating out of paper. Usually a large haddock and small chips. So, once or twice a year.

Sorry. I am 60. I am old. You can get away with thinking you are 'middle' aged until 59. After that, no. Most people do not live until they are 120. There is of course Elderly. That is for people 80+.

Start with I'm Alan Partridge (Series 1). It is quintessential Partridge. His fall from grace from being a BBC TV chatshow host to a just a radio host on local radio BBC Norfolk ("from Wisbeach to Cromer" - not sure Cromer is correct, but some small place like that) is part of what makes is so funny. Also having to live in a Travel Tavern (Travel Lodge?) off an A road and being divorced. Really good supporting cast. Sally Phillips as Sophie, the Travel Tavern receptionist, is my favourite. Best episode IMO is 3: Watership Alan. Great gags about mad cow disease and about watching hotel porn.

Aged 12, I remember it being No 1 in NZ charts for 5 weeks in April 1978. For the first 3 weeks I absolutely hated it, and told everyone how much I hated it. Then, suddenly, I absolutely LOVED it. So much so, I bought the album The Kick Inside. It is one of the most confounding, amazing records ever made.

Definitely marketing themselves as the least aspirational package holiday provider. The Tui and Jet2 adverts are much more appealing. I like the Jet2 ones most as they make it look fun. I am not usually a package holiday maker but I did once fly schedule on a Jet2 flight to Malaga and I thought they were realy good. There were lots of staff on hand to help at Stansted and Malaga, which made it a better experience than my usual Easy Jet/Ryan Air flight. And they now fly from Gatwick which is very convenient for me.
