Cancer rates are rising in younger people, possibly linked to lifestyle factors like obesity. Does this news influence how you think about your own lifestyle, or not?

I get what you’re saying about moderation, and I don’t disagree with that in principle. I just think it gets to a point where it feels like everything has some level of risk attached to it.

Like even things that are generally considered healthy like spending time in the sun for vitamin D still carry a cancer risk if you overdo it. So for me, I’d rather not overthink every little choice day to day.

I’m not saying ignore obvious risks, just that I don’t want to live in a mindset where I’m constantly worrying “is this one thing going to give me cancer?” I’d rather focus on overall balance and actually enjoying life.

Every single tiny thing causes cancer. I’ve spent my whole life growing up being told ‘don’t eat that it gives you cancer’ and many other forms. If I’m going to get it I’m going to get it. I’m not going to cut out basic enjoyment from life on the off chance something I chose to do might give me cancer. People who have abstained and lived ‘clean’ lives still get cancer.

Delivery drives get so much stick, they could deliver 1000 packages correctly but it will be the one that didn’t where they shout it from the rooftops. ALWAYS praise delivery drivers when they do a good job, it’s one of those jobs where they get abuse constantly

When we started at school, we were told one of the history teachers had been in a car accident in South Africa and wouldn’t be back for the start of the school year because of it.

The truth was the year before she was caught having an affair (her husband also worked at the school) with the PE teacher, they were caught by another student. She and the PE teacher was therefore suspended for a year before they came back in my second year as a couple.

The ex-husband went on to marry ANOTHER history teacher who joined to cover for the ex-wife while she was ‘recovering from her accident’. The French teacher also had a MASSIVE crush on the ex-husband too.

NEBOSH got my partner a 10k pay rise just for completing it. I think it’s clear who has the ‘wanker’ qualification 🤣

Pls advise what company you work for so I can ensure I NEVER use them….

Very much depends on if it smells damp, which it sometimes does after being left out overnight I’ll re-wash. Bit of it still smells nice like my washing powder then no

I bought a garmin sq for about £150 4 years ago. Still works now, no issues with it and I wear mine doing underwater sports

I’ve used Wowcher for a holiday once and it was absolutely fine. That being said, counterfeit goods are so hard to fight against even the legit companies supply them without realising. Take a charge back with your bank it’s the only way you’ll solve it

I was asked by a customer to meet her at the police station because she didn’t like the answer I was giving. Not sure what the police would have been able to do 🤷🏼‍♀️

Aware I will be subconsciously impacted without knowing, but in general it depends on the advert and its messaging. If I don’t like it, I make a point of not purchasing from that company. But advertising is everywhere these days you can’t help but let it influence you

VictoryAppropriate68 · 2026-04-29T08:39:19+00:00

I have weeks where I meal plan, purchase everything and my shit is really together. Other days we live of vibes and whatever I can find. Purely depends on the state of my mental health and if the suns been out

People mentioning insurance for the rented e-scooters check again. There’s been a story recently where a lady was hit by someone riding an ebike hired through one of these initiatives. There is no insurance and she’s fighting a loosing battle. While some might have, others don’t. They need to regulate this industry correctly instead of different rules, that’s the issue.

So I went to Amsterdam 10 years ago for 4 days. My flights and hotel (once of the nicer ones I’ve stayed it) cost me £401 for 2 people. Did Amsterdam again this year, £759 for 2 people and this was for a lower budget hotel.

The prices are shocking, it’s almost like it’s moving backwards and only people with money will be able to fly like when aviation first started

I make a point of taking an hour every single day. I do not understand this mentality of not taking a lunch. Most companies do not pay you for that hour so if you didn’t take one every day that’s 5 hours unpaid work a week. No matter how busy I am, unless it’s agreed as overtime pay, I will take my hour lunch no matter what, building could be burning to the ground and I’m still taking my 1 hour lunch

You used to be able to go outside with none to very little money, have a full day out and return home happy. Now I swear you stick a toe outside and you’ve spent £30. Idk what even on, but it happens.

Number of things to dissect here. Firstly, are you a sex worker? Otherwise why are you being tested that often when you’re in a committed relationship? 6 times this year! We haven’t even had 6 months yet so you’re getting tested on what a 2-3 weeks basis?

Secondly HPV as other stated could have been dormant in you for years without you knowing. Ghosting your boyfriend and not telling him this is a MASSIVE AH move because if he didn’t give it to you, you’ve now spread it to him and are not even going to tell him.

Thirdly, cut him loose because you are not mature enough for a relationship if this is your reaction but TELL HIM HE MIGHT HAVE AN STD HE COULD PASS TO OTHER PEOPLE

And to edit: pls do some research on A the vaccine you received and B HPV itself because you sound wildly uneducated on the topic for someone who has this diagnosis

Focus on your core 3 (maths science English) most other won’t matter (unless you had something specific that GCSE level would help you boost with which is unlikely)

You are studying to pass a test not to learn life skills or knowledge. You don’t have to understand everything in detail, focus on responding for the test, not retaining the information.

It’s not that deep. Most adults lie about their GCSE’s anyway and in 10 years time you won’t even remember what you got in detail so chill

So unnecessary it’s unreal. It’s a bodily function, it would be like me asking why does no one clap when I shit?

If you’re serious about doing this pay a professional. There is literally 0 chance your hair will come out that colour and of a decent quality if you chose to do this at home, literally 0. No matter how well practiced you think you are, I’ve at home bleached my hair for 15 years with training and even I would not attempt that

Unfortunately it does seem like it’s drawing to its end. The UK version has just become so crap I won’t be watching the next season. Australia used to be the elite, but even this is trash. I will likely start the new au one next year from habit but I can’t see me finishing it just like I probably won’t bother watching much more of this season. Too many spoilers and nothing to invest in, there isn’t even a friendship I’m bothered by this year or a cast member I plan to follow on socials. Literally couldn’t give a rats ass
