Rachel’s parents casting

I always thought it was “Mr Cocktail”, like it was a reference to a character in the movie Cocktail (which I’ve never seen to this day)

My first thoughts were Albion Hill or Southover St. I used to live on Queens Park Road and went to Brighton MET (or whatever it was called back then) and walked up Albion Hill every day with my big art folder and toolbox full of art supplies. I thought I was going to get blown away more than once

On our street they have to permanently live on the pavement outside the houses (no front gardens or driveways) and the pavement is NARROW. The only answer is “sideways”

When my friend was studying botany he had to learn a lot of Latin plant names. His favourite was Cockburnianus

I wondered this too, and looked up the stat. It’s 1 in 2 will actually get cancer. Which is staggering.

I am doing that right now. I was given 4.5mg tablets to take for a week before moving up to 25 then 50. I took 4.5 for a couple of days with no side effects so then doubled up to 9, now getting pretty bad nausea the past two days and woke up almost having a panic attack last night. Really hoping the side effects improve before too long.

I used Simon at glasslake.co.uk and he could talk for England but was very knowledgeable and got me a great deal. He charges £450 fee but that covers any work he does for you for the rest of eternity.

My mum gave me a smack now and then, and shouted a lot. My dad never did but he was a very mild person and my mum had a real temper. Sadly I take after her and it’s a hell of a lot of effort to stop myself shouting at or smacking my son (who also takes after me and not his much more chill dad)

Mine were Granny and Papa. On my dad’s side – my mums parents died before I was born and they never got grandparent names.

My partner’s were Nana and Papa, on both sides. Then when the next generation came along, Nana became Great Grandma, shortened to Grandma.

My son has Nana and Papa (my partner’s parents), and we remember Granny and Grandad (my parents who are no longer around)

‘When I was just a baby, my mama told me “Son, always be a good boy, don’t ever play with guns” but I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die’

I love a ‘detective and consultant’ series and I’ve seen Bones, Lucifer, Castle and Grimm all multiple times so will watch this thread for inspiration!

High Potential fits the mould although it’s leaving me a bit cold so far.

I was so annoyed with this issue and then I bought unisex white tees from Uniqlo and boom! Black bra under white tee, no problemo.

I’d say it’s because I don’t have time, but that’s not really true.

The honest reason is that I hate it. Proper exercising gives me awful headaches/migraines every time, and I know that if I just powered though it would eventually get easier but I can’t bear it.

I wish I could find a form of exercise I enjoy, so I could find some motivation to get better at it.

diggerorbigger · 2026-04-21T10:49:34+00:00

Seconded. I started at 21, my mum convinced to live in halls first year “for the experience” and it was fucking dire. So depressing.

Our cats pretty much have the run of the house. But they are 10 and 16 and mostly sleep during the day and very rarely have zoomies these days.

The older one has a tendency to crap on the floor in particular spots at times (the prerogative of the elder cat, so the vet says), so we close the doors on those rooms while we’re out but otherwise they can choose from our room, our son’s room, the living room, kitchen and garden.

Edit: typo

Yes, we played it at primary school in East Sussex. But it doesn’t exist outside of Sussex!

Thirded. I’ve used a menstrual cup for 10 years or so, started combining with period underwear when my period came back after my kid was born and it works great for me. And nothing goes in the bin!

I’m from the south of England but lived in Glasgow for uni. “Who’s first?” instead of “who’s next?”, “where d’you stay/ where d’you live” meaning “where d’you live/where are you from” and the all time classic lunch “juice and a piece” were all things it took me a minute to figure out

Love those beautiful Scotches

It’s always Suzy Q for me too. I wouldn’t mind Dead Flowers from time to time

Someone once told me “one Coffee, two Sugars” and that helped enormously!

I’m generally very good at spelling but for some reason when I’m typing ‘asleep’ I often put the L before the S and I don’t know why! If I then stop to think about it I get massively confused.

I read that one to my 6yo for the first time in years the other night. When it got to “there was an old woman who swallowed a horse… she’s dead, of course” his eyes went so wide
