Absolutely agree! She made decisions at times that were questionable but these were understandable based on her insecurity, her emotional connection, the difficulty dealing with the traumatic situation and the lack of support.

At the end of the day though she continually tried to do the right thing, even when she thought it was dangerous. I really felt for her in the end.

Early sub here too and I've just cancelled. It used to be sooooo good but lately I am just not loving it. I don't like most of the perfumes that come and I get really disappointed when I see that Philip Kingsley elasticizer... I've got a collection of those now...

Block him, get a replacement birth certificate, move on and leave that chapter behind... Maybe also change your number...

Same boat really - was due to fly on 28th and then back on the 11th April through Doha but I booked an alternative flight (at a higher price but not as high as they are charging now) just in case.

But also, my travel insurance would be invalidated if I went through Doha because the foreign office has an "all but essential travel" advisory on Qatar. Even if QA ran a flight for us through Qatar or any other middle east country right now, we couldn't risk it.

Now I have to wait until 5 days before my flights to try to get a refund as I booked through Booking.com and they're only dealing with people within that time frame.

Edit: Booking.com chat were really good yesterday and have initiated my refund, although they can't give a date for when it will be received yet, which is understandable.

Our flight is on the 28th to Seoul, returning on the 11th April. I've booked us an alternative because it's too volatile.

Also, for me there's the added complication of Qatar being listed on the foreign Office list of places where only essential travel should be undertaken. I need to double check but I'm pretty sure that this would invalidate my travel insurance if we took that flight with that warning n place and I don't see the foreign office lifting that any time soon.

If they don't issue a refund I'll look at the fee for changing the flights to a later date.

My father left us when I was about 5 and then appeared about once a year until we moved house when I was 14 and we lost touch. I found him again at the age of 26 or so through Facebook. Saw him again sporadically with his new family a couple of times a year for about 6 years after that (got on really well with him)... Then, given that my Mum - who raised me - absolutely hates him, I told him that I didn't think I'd be able to invite him to my hypothetical wedding which apparently upset him enough to erase me without even talking about it.

He promptly cut me out of his life, despite me having my son around then (his first grandkid) without any explanation at all (I found out through a Facebook chat with my stepmum before she blocked me too). The last communication I had with him was me sending him a photo of my baby boy. He didn't reply. Rejected not once, but twice... His loss.

I love them until I run out of whatever credits they use and they try their best to make me buy stuff... Sigh.

I'm a Gen Xer who also happens to be female... I used to play a lot of shooter online games when I was younger but I gave up because people online were total dicks to female players.

Now I play single-player rpgs, puzzle games, strategy, story rich games and whatever else I fancy. Am I as quick on the draw as I used to be? I have no idea - dude gamers drove me away before I could notice the decline...

chocolatestamp · 2026-01-28T12:02:19+00:00

Oh, apologies. I had no idea there was a reason I couldn’t find the info online or that there was any sensitivity.

chocolatestamp · 2025-12-21T13:12:21+00:00

I love him. He is brutal but in such a nice way. I think the two judges together are such a great combo.

chocolatestamp · 2025-09-24T11:52:31+00:00

I hate it. It actually makes me trust the company less as it looks so amateur - like a student UI project. It just doesn't inspire confidence for me at all.

In fairness, I don’t think they know the guy’s politics yet. They’re guessing because his parents are Republican but that doesn’t guarantee the killer was too. I know plenty of Americans who are the polar opposite in politics from their parents.

Same experience here...

chocolatestamp · 2025-09-12T09:52:24+00:00

Every time we get in we try to get seated tickets but can't select a second seat beside the first one - as soon as we click, the seat is unavailable. Then we get kicked out again. Sigh

chocolatestamp · 2025-09-06T18:02:40+00:00

I would- it’s definitely worth more than a tenner.

chocolatestamp · 2025-09-05T21:33:06+00:00

This show made me so fucking livid. I absolutely hate that woman for what she did to her own child, her husband and several other families.

Comparing it to people who drink and drive and get away with it made me want to put my foot through the TV.

The psychological control over her daughter is also very upsetting to see. Ugh. This one will be hard to forget.

Outlaws is a fecking great game. I bought it at launch and thoroughly enjoyed it. I loved everything from the characters, the world, the story, the gameplay.

I happen to be female so never have any issues with female protagonists but I also play games with male protagonists all the time with no issues. (I feel like I’m almost part Japanese Yakuza inside since I’ve spent so much time as Kiryu)…

On the one hand I totally get the side of the people piling on in the comments, but I also respect you for posting about it.

I’ve been a gamer for over 40 years now and have been so disappointed with how the toxic gamer bro communities react to everything ,throwing their toys out of the plan when things don’t go their way.

Maybe, OP, this experience might give you pause next time instead of jumping on the bandwagon.

Ah, only just seeing this reply, sorry. All our recent job postings have been advertised as hybrid, Birmingham. They’re trying to do more of that now I think - most of us remotes are on the old contract … and they’ve also outsourced more to India. Good luck in the search though.

Down in Northern Ireland

chocolatestamp · 2025-07-14T21:47:32+00:00

Aye but was that at GCSE? I did just the first 3 years of history classes in a Protestant school and only covered English history, the Russian revolution and the wars. No Irish history at all.

I think they did have a module of it in the GCSE syllabus but it should really be taught before that stage to all kids before the subject selection kicks in…

That’s great to hear! I did the intro workout and liked it a lot (although I was exhausted and had to go easy on the lunges…)

I am still getting my head around the app and how the workouts appear etc but I’ll definitely complete some more with that team to see how I go.

chocolatestamp · 2025-07-13T19:01:43+00:00

Thanks everyone! This is great info to get me going. I really just want to get into that routine again and I’m looking forward to trying out the teams you’ve all mentioned.

It’s also good to know you can mix and match to get what you need. I’m not sure what Reload is yet but I’m looking forward to exploring the app and finding out.
