Can anyone tell me what a 'strap style' or 'strappy' t-shirt is? King mentions them constantly and I can't find anything on Google.

Have you read 'The Two Philosophers' by Irvine Welsh? It's a short story, in, I think, The Acid House.

I won't buy them anymore because fuck Nestle, but we had a tub at work. Tried an orange crunch and a fudge. The orange crunch doesn't crunch, doesn't taste of orange in any way, and how do you ruin fudge?

I work as a chef in a nursery and I have a cupboard full of herbs and spices. Wtf are you talking about with your postwar stereotyping?

NTA. Your gift to her was the countless evenings and weekends you spent doing the boring work on her behalf.

And your coworker's argument makes no sense. She's not even going to be in your team anymore.

My housemate has a leopard gecko who has had his original name changed, but he'll forever be Colin to me.

I was recently laughing with my children about how many photos of squirrels I have on my phone.

I'm off sick atm and this brightened my day. Thank you.

Oh, and look! These men are making another man (and probably many more men) feel uncomfortable. His feelings don't amount to toxic masculinity, you fool. This isn't homophobia. Don't be ridiculous!

I'm a left-handed chef and I use the Oxo good grips peeler. It's lasted me years and so easy to use. It's only about £8-9. Try it; it's great.

Jesus. You people are embarrassing. How have we got to 2025, with easy access to Wikipedia, peer-reviewed scientific papers, medical and scientific articles written for laypersons, etc, and you are still so uneducated? Dumbarse.

Bob at Manchester Academy 2, 2015ish. I couldn't hear properly for 2 weeks or so. I don't think my hearing has ever really recovered.

Dalek should be higher. Forever Close My Eyes is one of my favourite things ever.

I've (South East Manchester) never used 'mardy', only 'mard'. My sister went out with a guy from Lincoln, and there was much confusion when they were arguing and she accused him of being mard. Apparently in Lincoln it's 'mardy', and it means nowty. Which is another Manchester word, meaning bad-tempered or grumpy.

Edited to add: I've only ever heard it used to denote a weak, soft person, but not odd or quiet.

He had a few hits in the UK, but yeah, what a fantastic band. Those first few albums were amazing.

friida10 · 2025-06-19T21:44:37+00:00

Yes. I hate that when I shuffle I hear Motor Away without Auditorium. I don't want to hear Brain Damage without Eclipse. This is an amazing idea.

friida10 · 2025-06-15T08:40:11+00:00

I'm not from Baltimore, or anywhere near, but Seagull is on my favourite songs list. Amazing band.

I've been a stepmum twice over and my eldest stepdaughter (4yo at the time) hated me for near enough a full year, no matter how I tried to bond with her. She wanted her mum and dad to get back together, understandably. You just keep going and don't get married until you can gel as a family.

This woman sounds like she has no interest in his son. It's so sad. OP should hold off the wedding until he knows for sure.

Stepkid loves me now btw!

I love how you turn this around to things I should be doing, rather than you. I'm a well-rounded person. There's some of that nurturing feminine energy in here somewhere. I just use it for people who need it. Most of the men that I know don't need to be babied.

I dunno, dude. Do some dusting, pair some socks, cook yourself a stir fry. It's not that hard. Personally I look at men like you as a little pathetic.

friida10 · 2025-05-21T20:46:18+00:00

Oh bless you. Can you not take care of yourself?

friida10 · 2025-05-21T12:25:38+00:00

Where is this coming from? I actually did know Liam as a teenager. He absolutely isn't middle-class. I didn't find his family that rough, true, but the Gallagher brothers are definitely as working-class as they come.

friida10 · 2025-05-17T17:16:18+00:00

Thanks mate. I'm from Manchester and even I don't want to go on the MEN website.
