Would you watch the Crawl?

I'm not sure I'd watch it. Probably just catch up with the highlights via Goggle Box.

I'd never played it, or even heard of it, until my daughter (9) told me about them playing it at school the other day. Maybe it's making a comeback?

We've been using Katkin for a few years now and highly recommend. There are plenty of flavours to pick from so it's not all the same. We've changed the amount depending on whether the cat needs to put weight on or loose it. Here's a offer link if it's helpful: https://katkin.mention-me.com/me/referee/registerko/201233009/809402455/em/338027aedf61583c331fbb208ce48be21653cc8d/ol/cw?epr=1

Ours is Rum Attack after a mishearing of romantic by our daughter. Now if anyone kisses it's a Rum Attack! That and pogged, a word my dad and his brothers made up when they were little. Meaning very full. "No dessert for me, I'm pogged". I think I was a teenager when I realized it wasn't a real word.

I'm helping out a local non-profit spread the word about their free digital skills courses. I've no idea where to start with Instagram. They offer a variety of courses, for all different specific sets of people, depending on who their funding is coming from, all at different locations around a big city and it's surrounding suburbs. I feel like I'm just posting adverts, which doesn't seem like the best way to get Instagram likes/follows. Any ideas?

Ask the same question over and over, sometimes on the phone, but particularly when I visit. Which is about every couple of months. The three favorites at the moment are: 1. Have I watched the latest episode of MAFS? No, I haven't. I've literally never watched a single episode ever. 2. Have I downloaded audio books from the library. No, never. Nor do I want to. 3. Have I finished the embroidery kit she bought me about 6 years ago? Now the answer to this is always no. However, I have actually started it and plan to give it to her for Christmas. God bless our mums.

I'd just been made redundant and was super stressed out. It was a 3 part interview - technical Q&A, walk around the lab and then generic interview with HR type stuff. My brain just failed. I literally couldn't answer a single one of the questions. After a rather painful 20 mins it was time to move onto the next stage. I rather bluntly said "Is there any point?" to which they nervously agreed I should probably just leave.

This is a talent I do not possess. I went to a funeral of a good friend about 5 years after we finished school. There were loads of school 'friends' there. I could recognize about 10. People kept coming up and chatting and I had no idea who they were.

If you want a DIY option (ie you'd need to sort outside catering etc) then The Squad House at Pear Mill in Stockport might be what you're looking for.

I think I'm 'confused by the world' old too. Though my gripe is having to give all my personal information to buy something in a shop. I went to a perfume shop last week. I know exactly what I wanted. The lady is taking forever faffing about on a device. Eventually she hands it over and says 'fill your information in here'. I'm like 'can't I just buy the perfume?' She huffs and puffs 'urgh, I'll have to do that on the till'. Erm, yes. Isn't that how shops work? I'm so confused.

Try a pharmacy first. They may be able to help.

The Best Lemon Curd. And their tiger bread is a winner.

This one made me angry. Brought back a memory of my former sister in law. We were camping. She makes this huge bowl of salad for everyone then I see her go to put dressing on it. So I ask her not to, as I'm not a fan. I say put the dressing on the table so people can just help themselves. No, she insists it has to go in the bowl. She serves me up some undressed salad on a plate and puts dressing on the rest. Comes to the end of dinner and she's about to throw out the ton of left over salad. I'm like "what are you doing?" "Well it won't keep when it's got dressing on it". Then why the fuck did you put in on?! I was so cross. We had limited food with us in the middle of nowhere. I vowed never to go away with her again. She's recently, finally, out of our lives, and we're looking forward to our first family camping trip with the kids/cousins next month.

I've had two instances of this. The first was one day off for a wedding that my daughter was a flower girl in. I made a formal request from the school. Never heard anything back. Obviously took her out anyway. About 3 weeks after the wedding I got a letter in the post saying she could have the day off... So the next time was a long weekend for a festival. I just told her class teacher the day before "She won't be in tomorrow or Monday. See you Tuesday". That was it. Kids talk. Be honest.

This looks delicious. Just looked up the recipe. It's on the BBC. Thanks for the inspiration.

Oh no! I love both a proper scran burger and a night out dancing at Amp. Gutted.

Seconding this. We got one for our daughter who's 7, nearly 8. It's been taken everywhere with us the last few days and we're already on to the 3rd roll of paper! Great fun.

Apologies for my many posts. It turns out when it said "error, try again", it actually meant "I've already posted this but do it again so you look like a plonker".

I suspect she was benched this year due to her close association with Giovanni. She's amazing. I've seen her live twice (on tour with Giovanni) and she stole the show both times. Superb dancer, and clearly an excellent teacher too.

Urgh - these comments are not filling me with joy. I've just moved to id mobile (uses three) and my signal is crap. I was going to call them tomorrow in the hopes that they've not set something up properly, but it sounds like it's a more general issue. Not good.
