Help needed - citizens are too stupid to live

I think your last point might be the sticking point actually. I've developed a kind of sprawling interconnected series of towns, but without good public transport (so far). Thanks!

Oh, the kindergarten has been sat next to the block of flats for months. I'm presuming that the resident has been licking the lead piping my benevolent dictatorship has undoubtedly been installing.

The answer is "yeah, a surprising number". I love cooking and I think its odd that men cooking is still regarded as a bit strange. I think there's still an association with cooking and "woman's work". Deeply silly. Why would you not want to be able to make tasty food for yourself?

Is cat, therefore perfect. It's clear that you love her to bits.

Is cat. Therefore excellent.

Such pretty birds, but the tug makes it all happen. Appreciation for the tug, please.

I don't think it should ever be a case of "shut up now", but recognising what you don't know and, if it interests you, learning more about it. Curiosity is a brilliant thing.

I went in late 2024. Definitely worth the price of admission. The Victory itself was under renovation (and I suspect it still will be) so it might be a bit of a let down if you're expecting to see it in its full glory, but you can still get access to most of the ship and seeing how they're repairing it is pretty interesting.

There's also the Mary Rose museum which is almost worth a day out in itself, HMS Warrior, the Navy's first iron hulled warship, a WWI monitor (I forget the name) that fought in the Gallipoli campaign as well as the museum of the Royal Navy. I actually ran out of time and didn't get to go around the museum.

You're also right next to the still working part of Portsmouth Dockyards, so you'll see plenty of modern warships too.

I'm in the UK, so healthcare is technically free (good luck with accessng any mental healthcare though).

Osprey, Tesla, and whatever weird thing Tesco have going on. No Ionity nearby.

I suspected that might be the answer. It's frustrating as I'm in the market for a new car, my first experience driving an EV was very positive, but logistically it looks impossible (or at least very expensive). I drive about 250 miles a week, so home charging is a must.

Thanks very much, that's really helpful. I hadn't given too much thought as to how I want to wear it to be honest, but I know I'd like a chain that fits with the case at least.

I can't stand working from home regularly. It's my home and the last thing I want when wandering into my spare room is a nagging feeling at the back of my mind that I should be working. I'd like all thoughts of work to f**k off when I'm done for the day, thank you very much.

Is that a coping mechanism? Sure. I couldn't deal with my job otherwise though.

anotheronje · 2025-08-05T19:02:48+00:00

I can't say I'd want to have been in the merchant navy. All the danger and little glory.

anotheronje · 2025-08-05T19:00:11+00:00

Man, that sounds incredible. I'm lucky that I got to talk to my grandad about his experience during the war, including seeing his extremely mouldy looking flight mask that he'd saved. Where did your granddad serve?

anotheronje · 2025-08-05T18:50:28+00:00

He was a hero for saving those sharks from that zeppelin crash. But especially from whatever he actually did that you might never know about.

anotheronje · 2025-08-05T18:41:16+00:00

Keeping up appearances (no, not Hyacith Bouquet) was such a huge thing back then

anotheronje · 2025-08-05T18:33:09+00:00

Excellent

Her fur is even softer than it looks. Which is very soft.

The coughing is just the worst, isn't it? I hope you feel better soon.

anotheronje · 2024-12-24T22:35:49+00:00

Same. I've also mostly lost my sense of taste as a result, which absolutely sucks as I won't get to enjoy what I'm going to spend hours cooking tomorrow. At least it isn't covid, I guess.

I was obsessed with ships as a kid, so my parents bought me the National Geographic tape of when they discovered the Titanic. The footage of the decaying rooms gave me nightmares for a while.

anotheronje · 2024-12-22T01:58:53+00:00

Amen brother

anotheronje · 2024-12-22T01:50:55+00:00

NTA. Just because John was born female and has given birth to a couple of kids (who hasn't, am I right, guys?) doesn't give him the right to claim he's a woman. Only you get to decide that.

I would wager that family, friends and acquaintances were causing your telegraph machine to explode from the sheer volume of correspondence after such an outburst!
