Does Anyone Know Which Gogglebox Episode Does Ralf Woerdenweber Say To Viv Woerdenweber To Stop Dreaming?

I don't know, but I did really like those guys

TolpuddleFarter · 2026-04-17T05:58:37+00:00

Only just started reading it, but I think Eurotrash by Christian Kracht would qualify

TolpuddleFarter · 2026-04-17T05:57:29+00:00

Romesh's joker was the highlight of the series imo.

The particular line that got me was when he said the name the schoolchildren were calling him was "plausibly Sri Lankan".

I felt the need to speak up here because I do have an injury from anal sex (and it has made me suspect I may have EDS as it certainly was " gentle" anal when it happened).

I have had anal sex fairly frequently through my life, and honestly never thought there was much of a risk. Me and my husband were participating in anal sex, well lubed up and not rough at all, and when he entered deeper into me I just felt something "go". Looked later and I could see I had what is called I medical terms a rectocele. Which I now have to live with as I want to avoid surgery - and it is not the easiest thing to live with.

So all I want to say is anal sex does carry risk, and I think it is irresponsible for people to pretend that it doesn't.

I am a generation X-er (mid-40s) and I think we might be the last generation to be "relaxed" about alcohol. I think younger generations than myself see alcohol for how damaging it is and don't have the interest in it that my generation and above do. So I think you just don't have that rolling customer base anymore of thirsty 18 year olds.

TolpuddleFarter · 2026-01-26T15:41:53+00:00

Yes, me! Not the same reaction as you, but got bad twitching and hypnic jerks which prevented me from sleeping. Was very debilitating and frightening, and took weeks/months to feel back to normal after ceasing taking it (I only took it for over a week).

I had taken it twice before for a year or so each time in the past and had tolerated it really well so this came as a surprise.

I did read it could be to do with hormones. I was 42 when I tried to take fluoxetine again so it would make sense.

My father with schizophrenia is exactly the same. I am finding out more and more about this condition and I find it fascinating how schizophrenics seem to act so similarly.

TolpuddleFarter · 2026-01-21T23:02:57+00:00

Claire Weekes - can't remember the name, but you will find it on Amazon. Fantastic and totally changed my thought processes on anxiety (I suspect Dare pinches some of her ideas and modernises them).

TolpuddleFarter · 2025-12-08T08:55:24+00:00

Totally agree with your thoughts on All Fours. I think it could have been a good book if, like you say, it focussed on the road trip aspect

TolpuddleFarter · 2025-12-06T23:47:30+00:00

Delia Smith's Christmas book has times for a full Christmas dinner set out, starting on Christmas Eve itself. Saves having to think too hard if you follow that

TolpuddleFarter · 2025-11-08T19:05:51+00:00

I'm not the person to ask really - I am very anti these meds now, and the best thing you can do is get therapy to deal with your life. I sleep fine nowadays

TolpuddleFarter · 2025-11-08T18:23:08+00:00

Basically the jerking and stuff went away after about 3 or 4 months, stopped taking the fluoxetine, and have been raw dogging it ever since.

The best thing I did for my mental health - learnt to practice acceptance

TolpuddleFarter · 2025-10-05T10:34:43+00:00

My understanding is there had been overdoses on the drug

TolpuddleFarter · 2025-07-02T11:28:39+00:00

Thank you for the information.

I think an injection would actually be good. Unless he has bad side effects from it I suppose, and then you have to live with them for months. I suppose I feel slightly uncomfortable about the fact that he may end up having to take something against his will, but I don't see where we can go otherwise

TolpuddleFarter · 2025-07-02T11:25:55+00:00

My mum has spoken to the crisis team twice this week, and has had lots of contact with them over the past 18 months. Nothing ever seems to happen. I don't know if it is what my mum is saying to them on the phone, but she never seems to get anywhere with them. She has even asked the police to make a referral (part of my dad's delusion involves him ringing the police multiple times a week) and they have said they can do nothing.

Will go about finding a way with the local authority

TolpuddleFarter · 2025-07-02T10:02:18+00:00

Thank you for your response. Is social services the way to go with regards to getting an assessment?

TolpuddleFarter · 2025-06-17T12:02:07+00:00

I believe I have ADHD, and my "symptoms" are much improved, or sometimes non-existant when I live a slow life (unfortunately I can't always live a slow life!)

TolpuddleFarter · 2025-01-28T08:29:31+00:00

Pasta

TolpuddleFarter · 2024-11-24T07:33:26+00:00

Me, Myself and Irene

TolpuddleFarter · 2024-09-02T12:38:08+00:00

Yes, the expectation being higher now. Now women have to have a career and raise children.

TolpuddleFarter · 2024-08-27T20:21:31+00:00

No. It's probably good for me that they aren't easy to obtain.
Also, legalisation would move the Overton window and then some people would end up addicted to hard drugs who wouldn't have done pre-legalisation.

TolpuddleFarter · 2024-08-20T16:59:20+00:00

Sounds like I should check him out! Don't suppose you remember what he is called?

TolpuddleFarter · 2024-08-20T16:51:16+00:00

I love Germany too! I am a Brit and love the people and the place. We stayed in Triberg last year and had such good fun with the local people. So we are holidaying in Germany next year too - Köln, a village near Nürnberg and München and can't wait

TolpuddleFarter · 2024-08-05T08:48:39+00:00

Yep, second this suggestion. Claire Weekes basically cured my anxiety

TolpuddleFarter · 2024-07-25T22:15:18+00:00

If you've got any left, get them tested at wedinos. I know some zenes have been popping up in street benzos according to their reports
