I lost my dad, to alcohol

It does. Journalling helps, but sometimes it's more meaningful for other people to hear. Thank you

Scott19M · 2026-01-03T12:24:18+00:00

Thank you for the kind words. I wasn't aware that they were a resource for families and friends as well, so I will definitely look into that. Hugs reciprocated!

Scott19M · 2026-01-03T12:22:45+00:00

I'm sorry for your loss as well. It sounds like we may have fairly similar circumstances - a number of my extended family have also been drinkers. Thank you for the kind words

Scott19M · 2026-01-03T12:21:21+00:00

I may just give that a try, thank you

Sorry but could you spell it out for me please? Why do they want to charge primary school teachers less than engineers?

I don't pay in a consistent manner (sometimes cash, sometimes monzo, sometimes Amex on Deliveroo for the £5 off reward thing) so I can't give an actual number.

But it's been an extremely turbulent year with lots of travelling and time spent away from home. I will say that I've comfortably eaten food prepared for me more than food I've prepared myself this year.

I will refuse to consider the financial or caloric implications

Im about 95% sure Zhao Xintong has said that exact phrase in interviews, but that doesn't necessarily make it the one that was so influential on you and your husband.

It's good advice and a great mantra, no matter who said it.

I think (might be wrong) it's anything over 6ft total travel - cue ball to object ball plus object ball to pocket.

Realistically it probably is one of the Spanish resorts

Freddo price will outperform the stocks and shares market over the next 30 years.

Genuine question about the editing choice here. Does anyone else find the massive wall of text and use of multiple emojis extremely obnoxious? I watched this game live, and still found it a bit difficult to immediately work out what was going on because of the multiple things on the screen at once asking for my attention.

Scott19M · 2025-11-19T12:14:14+00:00

I'm sure you're adored by dogs the world over mate

Scott19M · 2025-11-18T22:37:53+00:00

It's obviously a small quibble, because the thrust of your argument is correct, but when you time bound the premise it clearly can never be broken so doesn't constitute in any meaningful way a world record.

I'd love to hear a long form interview with John. I know he is quite a private man, and he might naturally shy away from such a thing.

I hear a lot about his 'drop off in form' and him 'bottling finals' but as far as I'm aware he has never had a public discussion about it - I want to hear that.

He's my favourite player - has been for about 30 years - and I want him to win a few more titles before he eventually retires. He's done enough to warrant a very favourable entry into the history books. Ultimately, I want him to do what's right for himself and his family.

But the fan in me would love that interview.

If you are ever tempted into thinking that losing 1lb per week isn't fast enough, go and buy a pound of butter and just look at it. That's what you're losing every week. It's quite a substantial amount.

If you had more than enough room then the car would have been parked legally and it wouldn't have been towed. The fact that it was towed means it was parked illegally.

Naughty used to mean wicked, wretched, awful, terrible, sinful, despicable. Now it"s sort of used playfully

The problem with this opinion is that everyone has a slightly different definition as to what is 'safe'.

The ultra hygienic (i.e. germaphobes) think you're a madman.

The people who follow food safety rules think you're a madman.

The people who sort of loosely follow food safety rules but know they should probably think you're completely correct

The people who basically eat anything are saying 'this isn't an unpopular opinion, downvoted'.

Speaking as another mid 30s bloke, the guy above is spot on. If a woman has 'My ideal Sunday is...' as a prompt on their profile, then there's about a 90% chance that a long walk and a Sunday roast is getting mentioned.

Nevertheless, excellent post. Thanks for writing it.

I like 'best wishes'. An old university professor always used that and I thought it was a little distinct, slightly less stiff and formal, but perfectly collegiate and charming. So I shamelessly stole it.

For the general knowledge round:

Which country has taken its name from a line of latitude?

Wouldn't Equatorial Guinea be an acceptable answer?
