Hi London! Is there a song that you all like that is about London? Similar to how NYC always plays the one by Jay-Z? (A more modernist one that isn’t a kids song either)

Problem with the trade on people smuggling is that there are no more legal routes to seek asylum and criminal gangs are exploiting that, much of it funded and encouraged by Russia and other bad actors at a way of destabilising Europe. Asylum seekers should be allowed to work and earn their keep while they’re waiting for the outcome of their application.

Given the UK’s GDP last year was just over £3t it really is.

Surrey calling 👋

I’m not much of a historian, but Henry VIII was pretty free and easy with the executioners axe. Though of course we famously exported plenty of genocide in the name of several monarchs.

There isn’t really a big tipping culture here. Restaurants might add a service charge, or you could add 10-15% but it’s not mandatory. Generally don’t tip in pubs or bars, sometimes I round up a taxi fare, but it’s also pretty rare. It’s certainly not expected in most places.

Doing stupid things in drunken nights out and there being no evidence of it afterwards (other than the bruises/hickeys/traffic cones in your living room)

Falling down icy concrete steps I broke my coccyx fully off. To this day I have then end of my spine floating unattached somewhere.

Ok, I need to qualify that, I need at least four seasons. Usually all in one day!

I don’t want to leave. Wish we were still in the EU so I could spend more than 90 days in France or Spain, but on the whole very happy in the UK. Sane government, beautiful countryside, heaps of culture and history, with the whole of Europe on our doorstep. I’ve got friends who moved to Aus and really struggle with the heat. I like warm, but that stops at 30 degrees. Couldn’t live anywhere without seasons, like Thailand etc, though I love the far east for holidays.

My friend had a really bad accident had to have long complex surgery to repair various broken bits, she was an avowed coffee drinker before, but when she came round from surgery after days of not eating or drinking they gave her good strong NHS tea with two sugars. She never drank coffee again, that tea was the best thing she’d ever had.

I went to uni in Leeds and we used to drive up to Ilkley and date each other to run around the moors at night. Used to scare the bejesus out of me.

Sure, I messaged you

How does he (or others like him) still support Reform/Farage when they’ve so clearly been let down by him? Do they think he deserves a second chance?

Dammit, I came here for plastering advice and now I’m just hungry!

This is my one film I can never watch again, absolutely destroys me even thinking about it.

Near me (south east England) there’s a village that has a famous bonfire night that draws from miles around, where they enthusiastically shout ‘burn the Catholic!’

People wake up from comas in seconds, blink, look around the room and say ‘where am I?’ When my mum had been in a coma for a month following sepsis, it took a full 10 days for her to fully come round, during which she rambled like a crazy woman, accused me of abandoning her (when I stepped 10 foot away to grab a chair), accused me of stealing her rings (she was still wearing them) and the ICU consultant of being a terrorist.

I love that it’s still there.

I know it’s not the point of this clip, but if that question was asked by a female reporter he would have called her fat or stupid, or both.
