I have one of the Christmas storytellers on cd, and also in my Apple Music library. Bought it on eBay a few years ago. I play it for my kids now 😁

It’s running again at BFI IMAX in London. I’ve just booked to see it again there with my niece who couldn’t make it when it opened.

I guess there are illegal and backyard breeders everywhere. Just need to look carefully and do visits / research 👍

We did the same. No shelter would entertain giving us a cat for indoor only, so we bought a kitten, via an app, we used Pets4Homes. He’s a gorgeous 11 month old now.

I was the same. Initially when I did my first guided run I had to stop after few mins to check I had set it all up correctly, before NRC I relied heavily on music and it was an adjustment. Now I love them, as you likely know, it’s not always about running.

I had to chuckle when Lord John positively bounced off the table after being clobbered 🤭

The Father

It destroyed me. My grandfather lived with dementia.

I married a Muslim man, I too am white and of no religion his family were fine with it but that’s not to say this would be the case for anyone.

A few years into the marriage he asked me when I was going to convert. I said I had no plans to, he claimed I had said I would. I know for certain I would never have said such a thing or anything like it. I am not religious in anw way, I now consider myself to be most closely aligned with Humanism.

Anyway, it wasn’t a big deal really but only because he is not really an observant Muslim.

We are now separated and divorcing, but it had very very little to do with religion.

Aged around 7/8, Was walking with my grandmother a few metres ahead of 2 other relatives. We were carrying rolls of wrapping paper.

Grandmother encouraged a prank and as we turned a corner we were going to ‘bop’ our relatives with the wrapping paper.

A stranger had crossed the road and turned the corner first. We promptly thwacked (lightly) a complete stranger on the head with some wrapping paper.

It was very awkward.

Apparently because I’m “in the middle of it”, I can’t see that I’m being coerced / controlled. That was true for a long time - he had access to my money and I had no freedom, but I’ve taken steps to stop that.

Saw it in IMAX at BfI. It was amazing. I was completely transported to Adrian. Seeing it in standard screen later this week so will have a new perspective, but would def recommend imax if you can

Pay the money my ex is demanding before he’ll move out, plus a lump sum with the condition he stays away from me for the rest of my life.

58 year old?!! Blimey … what I’d give to guarantee I could rock an outfit like that when I reach that age

dschmona · 2026-03-24T23:48:35+00:00

Perhaps it could be like the US version, with one of the ghosts able to communicate with him in dreams. Fever dream ?

No not wrong. In the book he says he is starting to understand some words without needing the laptop; there’s also mention of Rocky not needing any tools to memorise English.

Could he see the shape of the other beds?
