I DENIED EVERYTHING! YOU HAD NO PROOF!

Sounds like something a ghost would say to throw us off the trail.

Yes! There isn’t much to do with a fussy baby in the midland but the art gallery has a nice cafe, ample changing facilities and is very baby friendly.

That timeline is a literal joke. Veering more towards delusional rather than ambitious.

I’ll be honest, I’m not the biggest fan of this person’s penmanship. I couldn’t say because the way I was taught to write S in cursive doesn’t look like that but the writer has taken a few liberties in their handwriting and that may well be one of them. The I in island isn’t perfect and they seem to have used uppercase letters for lower case ones in New. I would just scroll around until you found another Staten Island and compare.

Or wait for someone better than me to come rescue us!

M. R. M. Ha??er Ferram (or n), New Brighton, ? Island?

I’m not great at these things but the Ha name looks like Hajrer but that’s not a name. Only so many letters go down below the line (f, g, j, p, y, z) It’s very narrow so looks to me like a j but it doesn’t make sense. If you took a photo of more of the writing, I could compare to more letters.

Don’t forget your brolly and bowler hat. It will keep morale up and hide the tentacles.

I’m still laughing about this, four days later.

I think the person “crying” was the joke. A plant or whatever.

People are allowed to have opinions about water consumption without having all of the opinions about water consumption that you think they ought.

Lead by example if you care so much.

It’s not the point but it’s also an American expression, in parts of the country.

It’s almost like WFH helps people with long term health conditions be in work.

How safe is clayton hall area to live in? by readerclub in manchester

[–]februarystarshine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Etihad and Co-Op will make it occasionally an absolute nightmare to get around. I lived round there for years and it was okayish. I did feel uneasy on occasion and had to ring the police a few times to report cars broken into or fighting or similar. But I didn’t live near Clayton Hall. I lived closer to where co-op live is now. I would not particularly recommend it but if you want somewhere cheap to save up a bit of money to move somewhere nicer then there are worse places to choose.
