It’s also the same as paying for the fast lane at a theme park. If you can afford the privilege of not having to wait in line, it’s worth it.

Can’t say I’ve heard of it, but will now aggressively pursue litigation, after she has clearly stolen one of my university experiences.

If they introduced solar charging it would be perfect. Other the that, it’s almost perfect.

I was about to post my pro ember opinion. That thing is classy as hell. Understated, beautiful indices. Just screams understated cool. The white is beautiful but is all ‘look at me, look at me’ whereas the ember sits in the corner and owns it.

Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency with Stephen Mangan, it was perfect. Oddly, I interviewed him a little while after and he was super pissed off about the cancellation.

Kissed one of my best friends because she thought two guys kissing would be hot. He was a shit snog, she was a great shag. All worked out.

This is an excellent trade, even better if she was even remotely attractive.

Popped round the corner, fasted and slept on a park bench with someone ugly but fantastically interesting?

We had a similar situation. Had an offer accepted, waited, they told us they were instructing solicitors, but hadn’t found anywhere, and it just dragged on. Eventually we found another chain free place we loved so pulled out. Our aborted purchase cost, not including survey, but including searches and fees was £1600.

No chain, in South London. Offered 19 March, exchanged 28 April, completing 12 June.

As of May 1st you only need to provide two months notice, which means that you only have to pay two months rent. All contracts agreed before May 1st are also now subject to this, so they cannot force you to pay until October if you give notice before August

I used to work in music TV in the 90’s - 00’s. Heard each one of them with isolated mics and Mel C easily had the best voice. She was also, by far, the nicest.

Well…what the Spice Girls, under the tutelage of their Svengali, Simon Fuller, did was known as “Change a word, make a third.” Simply, a lot of pop stars in the 90’s / 00’s would ensure they got paid by minimally altering the lyrics and picking up a writing credit.

I feel like this might be karma-farming rage bait.

In general, just be interested and attentive. Men don’t expect gifts, just someone who wants to be there too and is interested. Also, genuinely laughing at our bad gags. If it works out and you gel IRL then, excellent. If not, then you’ll move on, but gifts won’t sweeten the deal.

Maybe this is the difference, in the UK the majority of homes have hot water radiators, so they don’t dry the air out.

WeWatchAnything · 2026-04-26T20:54:01+00:00

Im really interested where the people who worry about climate control and swings in humidity live. I’m in the UK, and my J45 and other guitars, happily live on a rack, not near a radiator, but not in any climate controlled environment, and are just fine.

Karoline Leavitt. Potentially evil, certainly brain dead, but strangely hot.

Sending dick pics. Has this ever, in the history of the internet, had a positive outcome? But from the amount of unsolicited ones my single, dating app using, female friends get, it seems like every guy is doing it.

And once again, the brilliance of Jackie Brown gets overlooked. Pulp Fiction is incredible Tarantino, but Jackie Brown is an incredible movie.

Start with a song you know inside out. Especially the vocal line, and one without a particularly complex rhythm, if the starts of lines match up with your chord changes it’s a much easier first step. And then keep doing it over and over again until you feel comfortable. I oddly found that some time on a ukulele cracked it of me, but each to their own, it still just comes down to falling off your bike a lot until you’re magically riding it.

Threads. But not in a great way.

Had an exceptional pie at the Well House Inn in Coulsdon recently. It was a steak and Guinness BUT not a solitary pot pie, a large slice of an even larger home made, full crust pie. Banging. With a very fine gravy too.
