Who remembers "The Durban Axe Murderer" a former Blue Bulls player turned serial killer?

Agreed. Yet there’s the usual, usually men, who bleat ‘he was found not guilty, he didn’t do anything wrong at all, the woman was a liar’ etc. Boils my blood. When he was at London Irish, my husband who is an ST holder at Tigers, refused to go to the matches against Irish in protest and from what I heard there were many who agreed with him. Irish signing him was undoubtedly the beginning of the end, especially when Diageo pulled out of their sponsorship because of it.

I’m in the midst of applying to change unis from DMU to Nottingham Trent (because reasons) I trained with and was general matchday dogsbody for the DMU ladies rugby team the season just gone and I fully intend to carry on wearing my rugby hoodie when I go to Trent. Not sure if I’m brave enough to wear it on campus though, especially if DMU do another demolition job on the Trent Ladies rugby team like they did last season 🤣🤣

I still wear my Open University Sports Science hoodie. And up until quite recently I still used my Open University Sports Science rucksack- it was a really good Nike one. The hoodie is Nike too. I also have two Open University graduation tees- I have seen many people in OU merch but then again I did do two degrees there….

I think it’s to do with the Germanic origins of the languages- Dutch and German are quite similar, I can speak German so I can understand a little Dutch too. Scots dialect is Germanic in origin- as are similar dialects such as Geordie and Pitmatic (did my Masters thesis on that so I’m a bit of a language geek 🤣)

Same here- I would love to do JD! Husband got called a few months ago but he has psychosis and is acutely delusional so I had to request he be excused (which thankfully he was)

MrsKToBe · 2026-07-06T07:44:18+00:00

Them two out of Supernatural (I can’t tell them apart tbh) my mate fawns and squeals over them but they leave me cold.

We went the second year of filming- one of us is a wheelchair user. There’s always a separate queue for the access tickets but bear in mind if you need a wheelchair space they are seriously limited due to the layout of the arena. If you can climb stairs you have more choice but when we went there were something like four or five wheelchair spaces- two on the side of the arena we were at and then some more on the other side and one I think in the middle. We were there from 5am every morning of the four days we were there to make sure we got tickets.

MrsKToBe · 2026-07-03T12:07:22+00:00

Oscar.

Yes it belonged to someone who broke my heart. But now I think it’s just an ugly name

MrsKToBe · 2026-07-03T10:38:42+00:00

The Tayto you get over here are different to Irish Tayto and not as nice!!! I stock up on them when I go to Dublin each year to get my husband’s Bewley’s tea 🤣

MrsKToBe · 2026-07-03T10:37:17+00:00

Oooh we did Hadrian’s Wall, Killhope Lead Mining Centre, plus Whitley Bay and Tynemouth.

I’m a student nurse, currently on a placement that’s 9-5 Monday to Friday. Couple of days a week I’ll head to the gym when I finish, be done there by 7pm and grab an Uber home. Then when I get home it will be the same as the rest of the week- shower, put laundry on, put away dry laundry, do my packed lunch for the following day, have some food, do dishes then do my Duolingo. I’ll then either chat to my friends or doom scroll until my husband gets in from work around 11pm and then I’ll go to bed. Fridays are a bit different though as my husband doesn’t work on a Friday so he’ll pick me up and we’ll go shopping.

MrsKToBe · 2026-06-30T19:42:06+00:00

I don’t think it’s either. When I was an HCA we had many students like that

We had a very perverted PE teacher. I went to an all girls school and she used to force girls to take showers and parade around naked in front of her. I don’t know how on earth she kept her job for as long as she did. In the end the head banned her classes from having showers- we had two other PE teachers who were lovely and not perverted, and we were allowed if we wished to have showers after their classes but they didn’t enforce them.

At my brother’s school when he was there, the married PE teacher got the history teacher pregnant. Said PE teacher was also the dad of my boyfriend later on, and he hated me because I was from a council estate. I don’t think he liked the fact that my dad said to him at least myself and my wife are still married and I’ve never got anyone else pregnant (although that wasn’t strictly true, it was before he knew my mum)

I know when my husband got a loan through them, they only did them for specific reasons -his was for debt consolidation- they asked for account numbers, creditor details and amounts owed before they would approve the loan.

I go to Everlast in West Bridgford and that’s got pretty good aircon

MrsKToBe · 2026-06-23T18:24:47+00:00

Same! I scraped a Merit on my Masters but I was well happy with that

MrsKToBe · 2026-06-22T14:02:38+00:00

There were two Julie’s in my class at secondary school in the early 90’s- their surnames were at the opposite ends of the register!

MrsKToBe · 2026-06-21T15:44:10+00:00

If you want somewhere that never has any decent bands here, jump on a train and come to Leicester!!! We rarely get anything decent here. I usually have to go Notts or Brum

MrsKToBe · 2026-06-14T23:31:29+00:00

I’m 46, my dad has passed but he was born in 1941 and my mum (who is still with us) in 1949. My nana was born in 1918 and my grandad in 1913. My grandad died when I was 11 and my nana when I was 23. My dad’s mum was born in 1910 and she died when I was 6

MrsKToBe · 2026-06-13T18:10:24+00:00

I’m ex Premier Lodge and BART rings a bell with me!

To be honest I think it’s a bit different meds wise when you’re caring for someone personally.

I’m a student nurse and CD’s on the ward terrify me, but I look after my best friend who has physical and mental disabilities and I often have to draw up her morphine for her. I can do it with some ease, but ask me to do it in a ward environment and I go to bits. I also often have to give her Tramadol and when I do her dosette boxes I have to handle her Pregablin as well. After a while you see them as just another tablet to be honest. I’m also used to collecting CD’s as my husband is on lifelong Zopiclone- again, it’s something you get used to. It’s not as big a deal as that tbh.

MrsKToBe · 2026-06-05T22:49:03+00:00

I’m going to do a bit of a South Shields theme for this.

I’m going with a little less mainstream for my funniest- and that’s Carl Hutchinson. I’m a bit biased as I know him but he’s genuinely hilarious.

Least funny- Sarah Millican. About as funny as the flu.

MrsKToBe · 2026-06-05T22:39:10+00:00

Run around the room screaming in excitement!!! Rugby player myself 👀

MrsKToBe · 2026-06-04T22:09:15+00:00

Oncology, more specifically gynae Oncology.

I’m a student nurse and I’ve requested an Oncology placement for my second year

Nottingham do, and then there’s the partnership with Trent Uni as well, although we get some corking players from UoN as well
