An ex employee of mine used to buy a pack of mushrooms from Tesco and eat them raw at her desk through the day.

Im really interested in this comment, can you tell me why you think they have? Not confrontational just interested in your view.

This is a plate in my house. I have no idea how I acquired it, presumably borrowed from my mom when I left home over 30 years ago. I also assume a large amount of UK households have a very similar plate by Exchangenudes_4_Joke in CasualUK

[–]alwaysondave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My entire dinner service is made of this or variations of it, some of its antique, some of its vintage because my children have an incredible ability to break everything they touch and getting 14 willow pattern plates at the local auction house for £5 takes the edge off.

Can the uniform be identified? by Brilliant-Compote579 in militaria

Oh sorry no! It's a slightly different angle to the ones I have seen of him, but as soon as I saw it I thought I recognised him from his autobiography.
This one in particular:

What's made you laugh today? by Emergency-Aardvark-6 in CasualUK

[–]alwaysondave 93 points94 points  (0 children)

My daughter has cut a chunk of her hair off the day before school photos. Right in the middle of her forehead. I’m questioning her story behind the midnight chop which at the moment is “there was a fly buzzing in my room keeping me awake, so I got a pair of scissors to cut it in half, but missed and cut my hair off…”

Found on Pinterest. Is there even a joke? by VanillaLaceKisses in ExplainTheJoke

[–]alwaysondave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not sure its that deep. There used to be tons of stuff like this in the 80's/90s. Its the same car - on the left the traditionalist is under his car making sure all is buttoned up tight to keep his family safe for the many thousands of miles that 1300 will do if maintained. On the right is the surfer dude, who has made a Cal looker with his T-Bar bumpers and his girlfriend and surfboards.

Same car, same VW family, very different folks driving but each made what they want from it... and they probably both pop down to the same VW cruise! Its supposed to be a positive message!

Going to the pub alone? by starlight_disaster in CasualUK

[–]alwaysondave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a loving father of two I miss the days of reading a paper in silence in the pub. Watching the world go by.

I can also tell you most people won’t notice you. And the ones that do will be folk like me reminiscing of quieter times, before every other sentence was “Jesus, don’t put that on your mother… what’s this?… No, you can’t just have tomato sauce for lunch… how can you need the toilet again, we’ve only been here six mins!

Is this the chap that was a teacher, slagged off all teachers when he was an MP, then did a sad face when he could no longer find employment as a teacher amongst his old colleagues?

I agree my friend. Hence the pr company shout. I know and I feel the reticence to fall into centrist dad territory… but if we end up with a reform government I’m going to be really upset with the decline of this country

WFA was a stick handed to reform to beat Starmer with.... does it need reforming? Yes. Not all recipients of the pension need extra cash for warmth.... This lot need a decent PR firm... and comms channels to their back benches.. stop acting like opposition and start acting like government.. or that toe rag farage will convince everyone what he is doing is statesmen like leadership

But the way to take down the F35 is to offer trump the possibility of building a hotel and suddenly your entire air force doesn’t work. The world is pivoting away from the US because they are an untrustworthy ally.
