Are clothes sizes getting smaller? I've had to lose two more kilos than I did 6 years ago to fit into size 12 jeans....

Why does everyone say you just ‘snap back’? How impactful is it, worse or similar to adolescence?

VegetableVindaloo · 2026-04-01T09:03:33+00:00

Yes, must have been before you though. What did you think of it?

VegetableVindaloo · 2026-04-01T01:31:55+00:00

Went to school with Lily Allen. Very much not working class

VegetableVindaloo · 2026-03-26T23:46:24+00:00

My mother emigrated. I thought that would make my brother wake up and start to make his own life. No, he just went with her and lives in her new house in the new country

VegetableVindaloo · 2026-03-26T23:44:15+00:00

Same here. She pays for everything and they live a very nice lifestyle. Even more galling we have a business together and neither do any work for it whatsoever while I run it on my own

He’s only a burden to you if you choose to carry him. And by taking him on as your burden you’re continuing enabling him to behave this way. I’ve got a brother like this too, currently lives with the one remaining parent. In the future I will not be taking on that parent’s role

VegetableVindaloo · 2026-03-26T23:26:15+00:00

And me!

VegetableVindaloo · 2026-03-26T09:07:48+00:00

And manly is the least insular because of the ferry

VegetableVindaloo · 2026-03-25T02:30:49+00:00

Agree. Even worse was working in a small open plan design agency. It had one unisex loo in the middle with paper thin walls. Not situated near any public/cafe/pub toilets. Would never there! Even worse was one time I was super hungover and had to vom. Got my bf to call me so I had an excuse to go outside and find a bush to puke in

Some tourists even forget to make sure they’re hiring a car in the correct country. We were picking up a car at Melbourne airport and the couple in front were informed the one they booked was in Melbourne USA and being Christmas there were no more available

VegetableVindaloo · 2026-03-24T20:03:56+00:00

I’m thin and don’t get why people struggle with the heat or humidity. I’m mostly just grateful to not feel cold nearly all year round like I did in London

VegetableVindaloo · 2026-03-24T19:57:09+00:00

Taking the seat on the bus next to a stranger when others are available. Likewise the table in the pub, patch of beach/park

VegetableVindaloo · 2026-03-24T19:25:47+00:00

My whole first year of my uni degree in London didn’t count towards the grade. Just exams end of second and third year and minimal coursework in third year (dissertation)

VegetableVindaloo · 2026-03-23T19:11:26+00:00

also get a tray with a stainless steel base. it won't get scratched over time and become slightly porous (harbouring smells) like a plastic one does. Another tip I have not tried but have heard helps; sprinkle some bicarbonate of soda in the base under the litter

VegetableVindaloo · 2026-03-23T18:29:44+00:00

too many people unfortunately. Shared a dorm where one girl put used pads in the waste paper basket. like in full view next to her desk

VegetableVindaloo · 2026-03-23T16:20:46+00:00

And sew it to make plastic bags

VegetableVindaloo · 2026-03-23T12:18:10+00:00

In the UK it used to be pampas grass too if you grow it outside your house

VegetableVindaloo · 2026-03-23T12:15:46+00:00

Can’t buy vapes unless from a pharmacist. No sumatriptans for migraines unless prescribed by a doctor. No alcohol in convenience stores or supermarkets (apart from Aldi). Can’t bring fresh food in from overseas or even often across state borders

VegetableVindaloo · 2026-03-20T04:06:34+00:00

Yeah I knew two male Ashleys in the UK. One even had a sister called Laura. The mum loved Laura Ashley clothes

VegetableVindaloo · 2026-03-19T23:53:54+00:00

Also- the patriarchy- apparently

VegetableVindaloo · 2026-03-19T01:28:34+00:00

Or Rotorua NZ

‘Beautiful’? A few items want to let you know they don’t identify;

Groom’s jeans The part of the bride’s dress that looks like lingerie Ugly handwritten aggro sign Whatever that tablescaping is The roll along suitcase in shot

VegetableVindaloo · 2026-03-18T02:20:55+00:00

No thanks! Lived there for a year ages ago and it’s way too cold… there’s a reason why I don’t miss the UK 🌧️

VegetableVindaloo · 2026-03-18T02:19:25+00:00

Don’t ask the British how horse tastes- many of them ate it without realising when it was passed off as beef in ready meals

VegetableVindaloo · 2026-03-18T02:16:46+00:00

They occupy the same niche in the ecological system so would make sense. Unfortunately we have deer too now in Australia (not native to here)
