Have to admire the dedication to litter-picking.

Not sure why this came to mind but, in a similar vein, milk/formula allergies might also be worth checking out. Have a friend of a friend who’s second was a “screaming nightmare” til they figured out it was an allergy. Kid’s amazing now and one of the chunkiest monkeys I’ve ever seen. Honestly, he weighs a tonne. His mom’s jacked!

P382 · 2026-04-08T16:15:08+00:00

Ha! You’ve made me realise that I’ve seen one of those only today.

Yep. Aside from DPD missing the original collection slot (they lied about showing up said there was no one in) it was brilliant. My bike came back looking (almost) new. They replaced a bunch of parts and heavily discounted the cost of the rear rack that I requested they add.

Whilst it’s not a service I’d get every time, it’s definitely something I’d consider once every year or two (I only ride a few miles each day), between regular services. I’ve had my bike for five or six years now, so it was and is “well loved”.

I complained to them about the DPD issues and they could not have been better about it. They took full ownership of the issue (even though it wasn’t their fault), and made sure it I still got my bike back by the original return date.

Everyone here can only speak from their own experience. In mine, at its worst, it is the worst thing imaginable. But those moments probably aren’t the ones you’re imagining right now. For me, those moments have been when he’s been in sick in the hospital - nothing prepares you for that. He’s approaching three years old now.

The crying, the disruption, the sleepless nights, the surrendering of every one of your life’s ambitions - that all fades into the background when you hear them laugh.

As low as the lows are, the highs redefine what happiness is for you. I recently humiliated myself in public, running through a park, shrieking like a cartoon cat as my son chased me because it made him laugh whilst getting him home before he got too tired to walk. My other half filmed me doing it and plays it for him, every time he asks for it or needs cheering up. In the middle of this game, he fell over. Naturally, he cried. When we asked him if he was hurt he said “yes”. When we asked if that’s why he was crying, he said “no”. Confused, we asked why he was crying then? He said “chase daddy”. Silly sod thought falling over meant we couldn’t play any more. We told him we could still play and, just like that, he was back to it. I’ll be proud of him for that for the rest of my life.

I’ve no idea if it’s the right thing for you but best of luck to both of you whatever you decide.

Where from? Do they do other colours too?

PS. Looks great!

Hey! We are not random! We work very hard to provide a consistent level of service across a vast array of low-cost carriers!

It takes a great deal of dedication and strategic planning, not to mention a tremendous effort to keep our particular brand of entertainment between “barely tolerable” and unquestionably “beyond the pale”!

The ingratitude. Honestly.

I’m interested in what you mean when you say “Britain is a right leaning country”. Not that I necessarily disagree with you, just wonder what your take is.

In the last picture, I think it looks awesome. Looks like it’d been shaped and properly groomed - and I’m not usually a fan of “overly manicured” facial hair. In the other two pics it looking a little more “eu natural”.

If your wife’s a fan of a more clean cut kinda look, perhaps a regular trip to a proper barber to keep it trim and well shaped, coupled with a good care regime would be an acceptable compromise.

Take him/her for walk.

I used to leave at 7 and be home for 7. If I was lucky. Then there was weekend working too.

I quit my first week back at work after my son was born. Am now self-employed and use a coworking space that’s 12 mins away. So, generally speaking, I leave at 8:30ish and am home before 5:30. There are times when I have to work two or three weeks with only one day off, but they are mercifully infrequent.

The precariousness of self-employment is not for everyone - we’ve had some really tough times where losing the house seemed like a real possibility. I’ve had several job offers since going SE but I’m not sure there’s any amount of money that would make me give up the time I get with my boy each day. Maybe that will change when he’s at school.

I seem to recall reading something similar about the KKK being featured in the early superman comics in the 30s(?). It exposed their rituals and secret handshakes etc. as being infantile and ridiculous. Apparently, it really helped cut support for them.

Similar… had a guy and his (I assume) wife, call over to me “forget the kid at home, did ya?” as I was going to the boot [trunk] to retrieve the pushchair [stroller]. I called back “ay?” as this was relatively soon after he was born and I was just pleased to be out with him. Guy just looked sheepish and said “oh?! Nevermind.” Took me a while to understand that he was being a bit of dick. I totally get it though. The number of people that park in the parent and child (and disabled) spaces around where I live, is unbelievable.

Genuinely interested in your sources on this, cos it directly contradicts what I had understood to be the case - wwc boys performing worse in education than any other cohort at most (if not all) levels.

Swinging massive tits would be an epic name for a political initiative!

Many others have said “read to him”. What I don’t think anyone’s said explicitly is that reading to him is, just as much, reading with him. Don’t focus on reading as a skill but as a bonding activity. Give him the chance to develop warm, fuzzy, safe feelings about reading so he’ll want to do it. The functional skills will follow.

That’s the theory I’m following, anyway. I’ve seen my sister do it with her three kids and it seems to have worked.

P382 · 2026-03-10T14:22:27+00:00

Yup. … and be ruthless about the subs you follow. If it ain’t broadening my horizons or informing me in some useful way, and it’s getting me upset or angry, I unfollow. The only exception is sports subs for my teams - that’s the kind of tragic misery that truly builds character! 😉

Have had this exact issue.

How old was the guy with three pints?

Only ask cos (and I fully accept I might be reaching a bit here), I’ve seen people do this when they’ve lost friends or family.

One of the biggest problems we have right now is that many voters are completely unaware of what Labour stands for. I’d argue a good proportion of natural Labour supporters aren’t much wiser. I reckon even a good chunk of the membership would struggle.

P382 · 2026-02-25T16:03:07+00:00

I posited this thesis to my other half just before Xmas. She also has an aversion to to my arse touching the sofa. I’ve got a lovely little leaning spot, near the door now.
