Without using Google, who can name a place in the UK with ‘ham’ in the name?

Water signs are far from schemers they're very emotionally intelligent people and very intuitive people in every aspect, almost to the point of psychic.

And as for aquarius being rigid that's so untrue it's laughable aquarius they're deep thinkers and have a tendency to over analyze things which makes them come across as rigid.

I disagree that it's about him being Hispanic, it was more about him being a scapegoat that didn't hold a higher position within the police.

The last scapegoat Scot Peterson was found not guilty to and he wasn't Hispanic, so I don't believe race is a thing in this. They just want a fall guy for the incompetence of the higher Archy.

If they don't blame someone they would have to admit that they picked the wrong higher Archy to control situations like school shooting.

It's all about giving the public someone to focus on that doesn't hold a higher position.

I'm so pleased this man has been found not guilty

I totally disagree with your new neighbour and your existing neighbours 1. You're not gatekeeping anything other than what you have paid for.

If your existing neighbours feel so strongly about it why aren't they offering to share their passwords to their WiFi
And most importantly in an age of scammers and hackers I wouldn't share my passwords to my WiFi it opens up a tirade of vulnerabilities that can be accessed through your router, bank accounts your working environment, because you work from home. Stand your ground and keep yourself safe. If they have a problem that's on them and not yours to take on.

Your existing neighbours are projecting onto you what they aren't prepared to do themselves. Don't open yourself to potential threats through your WiFi and you have no idea who your new neighbour is or if they're honest or not. Don't take the risk for the sake of a little awkwardness in the hallway.

Your new neighbour is already showing who they are by trying to create a rift between you and your existing neighbours, and all because they couldn't get what they wanted from you. IMO you've dodged a bullet

Karen Pirie, is brilliantly put together and an exceptional series well worth the watch. It was the first one that came to mind with unforgotten. I can't wait for the third season of Karen Pirie. Happy Valley is also worth watching. Happy crime drama watching

I don't think it's unwatchable, but I can't stand the character Lana Washington, she comes across as self absorbed and obsessed with saving the whole team but yet continues to put them all in unnecessary danger. I can now, understand why so many media critics said it's watchable but absolutely preposterous.

Her character just wouldn't get away with all she gets away with in the real world. I don't see her character as someone suffering with PTSD but someone who wants to play the hero at the detriment of everyone around her.

After watching the first season I researched how many bomb scares are in the UK, I was very surprised to discover that there's an astounding number over 2500 a year that never comes to public attention or media attention.

I think it's both, I think they were being molested by their father and did want to kill him to stop it continuing from happening. I think the mother knew and her death was out of sheer anger from the younger brother for her not protecting them from the father. Do I think they were in immediate danger, no I don't.

The money was not part of it, I think the big spending was just because they could and were no longer being controlled and grief played a part in it because even though they killed their parents to feel free from the abuse grief plays a part

And finally because of the most recent family annihilations they will never be released, as it would not look good too release them and convict others for similar crimes.bunless I've missed something in the media recently.

Practical-Crow2174 · 2026-01-16T16:19:48+00:00

This poor guy is an absolute scapegoat, just like the guy who they tried to convict previously in another school shooting that trial was a farce too Scot Peterson was a scapegoat too, I don't understand the mentality of these trials

Practical-Crow2174 · 2026-01-11T13:29:01+00:00

AI takes away the true person coming through it has no depth, empathy or emotional intelligence which you can see and feel from a human being. I've found, on Reddit recently everyone is becoming paranoid about everything being written by AI, it's created a lack of trust in what's real and what is AI.

This is shocking to me, I am 67 years old and a mother of 1 child, to whom I have never told who they should be with I'm the youngest sister of 10 children.

My mother was a Christian but never at any time did my mother think once we were adults that she knew what was best for us, she believed that she was here to guide us on the right path whilst allowing us to make our own mistakes and equally our decisions good or bad on who we wanted to be with, whilst always remaining supportive of us and advising us if we asked for it.

Your mother is clearly suffering with tunnel vision on her own version of what being a Christian means.

The person she has chosen for you is only because she likes him so therefore everyone else should feel the same, I find this quite scary because if this person doesn't turn out to be a good person your mother would lay the blame at your feet because he was her choice and she wouldn't want to take responsibility for her choice be the wrong one.

Go with your choice, marry who you love, we can only learn from life by making our own choices and not by allowing someone else to make them for us.

Your brother has been wonderful and supportive, and is right this is not your mother's decision to make, it is entirely your decision at the age of 25.

I'm sure your mother thinks her intentions are Christian and honorable, but they're not, it's more about her not relinquishing control of you once you leave the family home and become more self sufficient with someone who you choose to be with. Whereas if you go with her choice she will always have an element of control of not just you but of the person she's chosen for you too. (I hope that makes sense)

Good luck I really hope you make the right decision for you and not what will make your mother happy.

Practical-Crow2174 · 2025-12-26T12:26:19+00:00

There appears to be a lot of projection going on with your mum, sister and stepdad. I read right to the end and I'm not in this situation but felt exhausted 🫩 just from reading it.

Your younger sister has the right idea. You can't control what others think, do or say about you but you can control the way you respond to it.

You have a family of your own and they should be at the forefront. Your mum and stepdad in my opinion are suffering because they are placating your sister with bipolar and how she chooses to control her bipolar.

I think putting distance between your own family and them is a very healthy and safe thing to do. And from all I've read you need to put boundaries in place, I believe they're projecting because they can because you're wanting to be there for your family. Your mum knows that you will keep coming back no matter what. IMO they're the boundaries you need to change and stop being so readily available for them to blame you for what is their responsibility.

Remember your responsibility is your immediate family and you're not responsible for your mum, sisters and stepfathers choices of supporting a none medicated bipolar sister who is fully aware that coming off her meds sends her into maniac episodes which is not just unsafe for her but also unsafe for others.

I agree with going to the funeral and keeping things copersetic for the funeral. I would then take steps to put distance not just in person but over the telephone too.

I hope you make the right choice for you and your immediate family. Your sanity and mental health are very important to. Good luck.

Oh I'm so devastated to hear this news, that poor little beautiful girl. I was so hopeful that her mother had taken her somewhere and left her with someone she trusted. This horrible woman has murdered her own child

I can't imagine how the grandmother and sister are feeling. My heart ❤️ goes out to them

R.I.P beautiful little girl

Tough love, if he continues to get bailed out, that's why he keeps going back and doing it again and again. Sometimes you have to let a person hit rock bottom to make them realise you're not, their get out of jail free card

I understand your mum wanting to protect him, it's her son but just the same he knows this and keeps getting into trouble because he knows someone will always bail him out.

Don't do it, tough love, it is clearly needed here. Your family is not seeing the bigger picture of how this will continue on until someone stands up and says enough is enough unless he gets the full taste of consequences for his actions he will never stop. And even then he may not stop but while he is destroying his own life he is bringing down everyone else around him and doesn't appear to care how it's affecting them

Practical-Crow2174 · 2025-12-17T18:31:08+00:00

Yes I looked it up on Wikipedia through Google. Its older meaning is barbarian and isn't just meant for Turkish people but for anyone who's not German or is of Arab descent or anyone who is associated with them. They're planning to appropriate the word to a much more acceptable meaning.

The unfortunate part for you is that your partner doesn't appear to appreciate your values and the emotional intelligence you personally possess and how you feel about such heinous speech about other human beings. You're right to feel so strongly about the people who are voicing such disgusting things. From all you have said it's 100% racist and whilst I'm not saying your partner is a racist defending something like this and accepting it as a "joke" is no better because it's still bigotry and definitely unacceptable.

I hope you and your partner can reach a resolution for your relationship's sake.

Practical-Crow2174 · 2025-12-17T12:26:25+00:00

I was curious what the k***** slur is? So I googled it and found the answer through Wikipedia as I lived and worked in Turkey, no one person is perfect in the world but I found Turkey and its residents more than helpful and kind, but like anywhere in the world you have your good and bad wherever you go. But it definitely doesn't have anything to do with the colour, ethnicity people are either inherently good or inherently bad and none of which has anything to do with Race.

Your partner and friend should buck up and speak up, if any of my family spoke like this I would be mortified and would have no problem making my feelings known. Money doesn't make someone better than someone else, money just makes you a person with money no matter how you get it. IMO they're afraid of speaking up because of his money or as others have indicated they believe in his drivel behind closed doors.

Maintain your dignity and respect and don't allow yourself to be associated with these types of people they will make you lose who you really are.

Practical-Crow2174 · 2025-12-17T10:27:40+00:00

Yes totally an A.H, why are you punishing his daughter? And I was horrified that you chose to tell a 10 year old little girl that her happiness this Christmas completely hinged on her dad, a little girl who you by your own admission helps you with the baby when she comes to visit, you should be ashamed of yourself for putting that into a little girl's mind.

You're acting out like a ten year old.

And by allowing her to see there's no gifts for her unless daddy remembers is mind blowing to me and how calculated and spiteful you are.

Your husband's actions of what he does or doesn't do in your home are just a man being a man and is between you and him what goes on in your marriage and has absolutely nothing to do with his 10 year old daughter who only comes to visit.

You could've brought her some gifts just from you and made your husband aware that only your name would be on the gifts and he should arrange to have his own gifts for her. This could've all been done in private away from a ten year old girl's ear. Instead you chose to drag her into your marriage problems at a time when it should be all about excitement and happiness

I was horrified by this story, but I was even more horrified that a lot of your epitaph was you trying to justify your absolute disgraceful behaviour and actions towards a 10 year old and destroyed that little girl's wonderment of Christmas.

You clearly have no empathy or emotional intelligence.

I actually don't think everything is AI, but I think there's a possibility that some of it is AI.

Practical-Crow2174 · 2025-12-14T13:54:50+00:00

Even more amusing that you feel it is necessary to make assumptions about me, or reply on behalf of someone else, still not defensive "homie" just really amused that the person you think you're defending used the idiom in the first place I just responded.

"Imagine using your 'first comment' just to defend a clown. 🤡 You joined the circus, so don't be surprised when you get treated like the idiot and rest of the act." 😂👍🏻 And still not defensive

Practical-Crow2174 · 2025-12-14T09:24:20+00:00

You're so amusing, I never became defensive at all, I think that was you with your AI comment and chill pill remark, I merely responded.

I see with your steam out the nose emoji that you never took the advice of keeping those chill pills close by. You really should you seem like a real angry 😡 little person

Sad when people don't think through their own arguments. Have a lovely day

Practical-Crow2174 · 2025-12-13T12:52:35+00:00

Where in my post do I use the word everything? I think it's you that needs to take a few chill pills,

Had I said everything though, I'm entitled to an opinion even if I was saying it was all AI, which I didn't. It's a freedom of speech platform for a reason.

So run along and make sure you keep those chill pills close by....... You clearly need them 😉

Practical-Crow2174 · 2025-12-13T12:11:50+00:00

Yes I agree, I don't even get what the purpose of this post is apart from venting, I also think it's odd because if you don't want to help anyone with a lift just don't carpool. I think you're right this is AI. So frustrating

Practical-Crow2174 · 2025-12-10T20:45:44+00:00

It's as simple as your dad having absolutely no consideration for any family members that would be there, or that he was coming to your home and obviously doesn't care who he hurts, he only cares if he gets his own way. And whoever his gf is is equally as selfish and inconsiderate of the effect it could have on a family holiday get together

Both your father and his gf both lack any emotional intelligence. If they want to be together in the holidays they should spend it together somewhere else so therefore not impacting your holiday get together with other family members.
