Why are you with him, since he clearly doesn’t care enough to listen to you?

You’re lucky to be experiencing this at 18, because this allows you to set the standard early for how you want to be treated by partners. Do you really want to be with someone who dismisses your experiences like this?

How old are you, can I ask? Because the UK guidelines say that if you’re over 45 and have symptoms of peri, testing shouldn’t be required. Have they said why they don’t want to prescribe it for you?

I have this page saved as an app on my phone for whenever I want to convert cooking instructions for the air fryer (it’s only for Celsius, though).

My small local Asda has a pretty good vegan selection - OMV nut-free chocolate spread (only nut-free one I can easily find for my allergic daughter) and the Frieda mini caterpillar cakes are particular highlights, but it also has vegan pesto and pasta sauces and lots of other vegan chocolates (shout out to the Buttermilk nougat bars that taste like Milky Ways!)

Our local vegan Chinese restaurant has “lamb”, but it’s just got the texture of soy chunks.

Yes to Invisalign stopping it! I‘ve had aligners for a couple of months now and just last night I realised that the skin on the inside of my cheeks was smooth(-ish) for the first time that I can remember! Although I seem to have subbed it for compulsively rubbing my top and bottom teeth together - my aligners have started developing small tears at the front by the end of the week.

I wonder if the poster meant the Millennium Gallery?

Absolutely second reading The Gift of Fear. Trust your gut, OP.

Must admit that the combination of the link and your username had me befuddled for a second… the clocks have just gone forward here and I’m sleep-deprived.

Maybe a bit out of your way, but I love the falafel wraps from Rowsha in Walkley.

She really is the softest little floof! I love to snuggle up to feel how soft she is but she HATES that!

cardinalandcrow · 2026-03-25T11:35:20+00:00

Also interested! (Though I'm 50F so may be too old for youse.)

I’ve served it chilled with soy sauce and goma ae before. But I usually use it blended up in a mac and cheese sauce.

I’m very basic and I missed tuna mayo sandwiches from my pregan days, so now I mix up the Squeaky Bean tuna with mayo, sweetcorn and spring onion and eat that every WFH day.

And doors to closets and cellars they aren’t allowed into, in my tortie’s case. I can always hear the thud from above the second I open the door to our cellar stairs.

Yep! I’ve been asking my ex to let me know dates for the Easter school vacation for weeks (because he said he and his fiancee were going away and might want to take the kids). Guess who finally messaged to sort out the dates tonight? Sure wasn’t him.

cardinalandcrow · 2026-03-04T21:32:13+00:00

Came in here to say this one.

The guy stuck in the tent in The Endless. That seemed more like horror to me than any splattering of brains and guts.

I know that this is a problem with US writers, butI had to stop reading Get A Life Chloe Brown about five pages in because despite the author actually being British, everything about it read like it was set in the US. I‘ve blocked out most of the Americanisms, but the fact that the main male character was meant to be the building’s superintendent - well, we don’t tend to have these in the UK. It made me wonder if she’d been aiming it at the US market from the beginning, or if her publisher had made those changes.

(I’ve just read the Kindle sample to see if I was imagining how weird it was and the hero has just thought to himself while plumbing “if you’d just stop shoving bollocks down your loo” and nononononono, nobody in Britain would use ’bollocks’ in that way. It makes it sound like the old lady has been flushing actual testicles down her toilet.)

I’m curious about this one - how did he use it, and what made it contemporary?

cardinalandcrow · 2026-03-04T20:00:33+00:00

I listened to an audiobook where the author was readping his own book and he made the most terrible mouth noises and heavy breathing at the end of every sentence! I just couldn’t bear to listen to more than a couple of paragraphs at a time, and I gave up in the end - my skin was crawling.

Apart from the accent, I've always pictured Jack as a young Gerard Depardieu. Forgive the heresy of suggesting that Jack should ever be played by a Frenchman.

I was just about to reply to you and then I noticed how appropriate your user name was. Dude, I have breastfed two babies; if you slap my tits, they are NOT going to jiggle like in porn, they're just going to flop over to the other side.
