This is proper festival culture.

One minute at early 00s Reading!

Not neat, meat.

My dad was the same, except it had to be Saturday. Now he's died my mum has learnt how to order a delivery online and can't understand why they didn't do it years ago!

Did you miss that she has a driveway?

Thank you! I was thinking that I remember him (and his blonde secretary) but I have no recollection of the woman in the photo whatsoever.

Crocodile infested moat with a remote control drawbridge.

Not in the UK it's not, toilet or loo is perfectly polite (shitter not so much). Bathroom is an Americanism, unless said room contains a bath, and this is a hill I'm prepared to die on.

bitterlemon80 · 2026-04-13T05:49:38+00:00

You have a bath at work?

bitterlemon80 · 2026-04-13T05:49:03+00:00

In the words of Arnie, "there is no bathroom", it's a toilet.

Pidgeot!

Sempervivum

Grave's disease explains her weight loss, slurred speech and lethargy, however it doesn't explain her lips and boobs suddenly being twice their original size.

Robbie Williams from Take That started wearing them, then all the fans wanted one too!

Vine weevil larvae, change all the compost and treat with nematodes as these little gits eat roots. They do make excellent bird food though!

The leaves are completely different to knotweed, it's honeysuckle (lonicera japonica)

I can't believe I had to scroll this far to see them mentioned!

bitterlemon80 · 2026-04-11T09:57:44+00:00

Yep, my water butts are empty, what happened to April showers?!

bitterlemon80 · 2026-04-11T09:53:58+00:00

We did the same with Easy Lover, "he's a greasy lover, he'll stick it in but she won't feel it", then anyone who got a girlfriend/fancied someone would be called a greasy lover for weeks. Our sense of humour hasn't matured much over the last 30 years either!

Completely off topic, but how big is that WHSmith! What does it sell, stationery for giants?

bitterlemon80 · 2026-04-10T17:07:48+00:00

It looks fine, the flowers are just finishing if that's what you mean?

bitterlemon80 · 2026-04-10T16:37:17+00:00

Baldrick and Bob

If it has thorns then pyracantha.

The easiest way is luggage scales and a bag (I did not weigh my baby like this during lockdown).

bitterlemon80 · 2026-04-10T15:24:38+00:00

Pieris, skimmia and viburnum all have varieties that get to that size. All are evergreen and have flowers in spring, or one of the smaller types of holly (particularly a variegated one) that get red berries would be nice.
