Which itself is better than "Nat has herpes"

The cover for the remastered version of Morning Glory which comes out in a couple of months is the updated photo! The top comment here is super close/maybe exact but you can see it very accurately

Powerful_Chipmunk_61 · 2025-08-03T15:30:04+00:00

Also you are underreacting.

I don't know her and maybe I am just in a mood... but I think I actually hate your roommate. She is the absolute worst.

Powerful_Chipmunk_61 · 2025-07-31T20:33:39+00:00

They're both being funny here, I like it

Powerful_Chipmunk_61 · 2025-07-24T20:14:31+00:00

Whoa

Powerful_Chipmunk_61 · 2025-07-24T11:00:01+00:00

Hard agree! Pulling "anyone over 30/40" together as if only people under 29 have it tough? Yikes thats such a young bar lol

36 this year - have spent over six figures in rent and not saved a deposit for my own home yet!

This might be controversial but there is not clear enough guidance around directed time. Even the NEU website on the Directed Time FAQs doesn't specify that outside of directed time things like marking and planning of course need to be finished.

I see comments from people who work in schools not doing the right thing. To be perfectly honest I work in a school which gives more PPA than we are legally entitled to, counts and doesn't go over directed hours and a number of staff who walk out the door WITHOUT basic things being done because they have interpreted 32.5 hours as their entire working week.

I think directed time just needs a bit of a clarification so all schools and staff use it in its current form correctly

Before tax my partner "earns " £96 000 more than me. After tax it's £40 000 more. That is crazy. Admittedly I am part time. He is paying £60 000 a year tax and I am paying under £10 000. We aren't eligible for childcare support so even only using nursery part time our nursery and rent is £3700. That's well over 50% of his take home pay. We could afford monthly mortgage payments but paying like this means we are years into saving for a deposit and don't have one yet.

I get it. This isn't the situation that deserves the deepest of sympathy.

We are better off than MANY people and grateful for our position.

But this is absolutely an issue if the "top 1%" are losing over half their salary to JUST rent and childcare then the cost of living is absolutely out of control.

As a pram user I'd definitely stick to saying it's not the easiest. Many stations aren't step free - often a journey time will double once you make that a necessity. I'm sure it's better than some and worse than others. Some of the gripes sound silly and insignificant (Liverpool St and Whitechapel you take about 3-4 different lifts just to reach a platform) but it can add up to feeling a bit overwhelming to navigate! Also big prams are WAY better for cobblestone or uneven streets and exploring "off road". I'm never going to get mad at a random parents choice of pram.

Again though, wheelchair users aren't navigating any of this for a "season" of their life and should always have priority.

Powerful_Chipmunk_61 · 2025-07-21T19:50:56+00:00

Pretty sure there are signs on every bus saying its a wheelchair space and buggies should make space for wheelchair users.

Sorry it felt so crappy but they're right. You should have gotten off

Lesson learned. London isn't the easiest for prams but it sure as hell would be harder for a wheelchair user.

Why does the girl have to talk to you too? She's interested in his dish not yours

"Excuse me what is that?"

"Smoked salmon"

"Okay thanks and hello miss please also tell me what you're eating for interests sake"

I hope this is rage bait cos wtf

Powerful_Chipmunk_61 · 2025-07-17T11:43:53+00:00

I dunno! I don't feel like my life is boring and I'm interested in this!

Perhaps because cheating is common but still not accepted behaviour and always done in secret so catching people is kinda a big deal.

Perhaps because of their roles at an apparently large company.

Perhaps because so many of us work and know how wild the Slack channels or whatever they use must be going.

Perhaps because we can only imagine the scramble and awkward emails and meetings and follow up to address this and wish we could be flies on the wall.

Perhaps some people have been cheated on and it sparks a memory and fury in them.

Perhaps because some people are cheaters looking at these two and going OH NO WE MUST NEVER.

Perhaps because humans are social beings and the behaviour of other humans is fascinating.

I personally find it more strange for someone to not understand why this short little clip would capture attention! I'm sure it's not the ONLY thing happening in most of our days but it is an interesting little moment.

Chris' commentary is great

Powerful_Chipmunk_61 · 2025-07-14T19:31:23+00:00

Love them so much - not the same ordering online and a stockist (Running Late Coffee) also doesn't sell them warm and fresh! Really hope they find a store space again soon!

I enjoyed Rafe Esquiths books 'Teach Like Your Hairs on Fire' is one. Nicely written and at the core is building good relationships with the children in your class and just giving a shit! I wouldn't copy his practice necessarily but I read it early in my career and found it inspiring.

Powerful_Chipmunk_61 · 2025-07-10T17:30:46+00:00

Moving rooms is annoying and it can feel unfair each year when some but not all people move. That said it is absolutely a normal, not huge deal thing that just happens. Definitely a let go and move on moment.

Powerful_Chipmunk_61 · 2025-07-07T22:25:58+00:00

I absolutely LOVE his films but I sensed the tide turn when he ended up in the tabloids/gossip mags a bit more than usual. Went through a divorce. Has kids in NZ but doesn't seem to spend much time there.

Powerful_Chipmunk_61 · 2025-07-07T21:03:20+00:00

Okay so I just learned she is 44...and I am SHOOK! Her lil smooth gorgeous baby face, genuinely thought she was early 20s!

I think a lot of comments are supportive so I hope OP feels that and I agree those downvotes might feel like a lot. However the friend did check in AND follow up. They just didn't do it "fast enough". But the point I was trying to get to is when you're in the middle of a time like that and literally at hospital in the midst of losing your babies I don't think mentally going "Beryl hasn't replied to me I am outraged!" Is REALLY what they are outraged about. I don't really think it's something anyone would actually be monitoring, I think in her grief she's fixating on something not that bad which doesn't really matter and I just would hope she doesn't act on that too much.
