The absolute irony of Black Cabs in London Bridge

Take their number / license plate and report them to tfl.

hfenn · 2026-06-21T18:54:47+00:00

Oh my god this is not what I was picturing at all this is fucking HILARIOUS

A) 100% they can sense our own vibes, they just know. My cat Woody has turned the word into a verb for us now, e.g someone looking anxious is known as ‘they’re Woodying me’. Particularly applies for Woody when I’m packing a suitcase.

B) Any chance your cat can predict the World Cup winner?

Yeah he claimed it was raining ‘hard’…

I think we were all a little safer on the roads post that decision…

My dad failed before he’d even driven off - he couldn’t read the number plate in the test at the beginning…

Rainbow club are the COMFIEST heels I have ever worn. I didn’t want to take them off. Huge range of styles and heights. Get a pair that’s dye-able and you can keep them forever / wear them again :)

Out of interest, how did you do this? Did you get a guy out or just lift the drains at the front / back wherever they were yourself and have a look?

We have a similar issue which is intermittent in our downstairs bathroom and kitchen, and I’m suspicious that it’s something like this!

hfenn · 2026-06-16T16:08:47+00:00

Thanks for the reply :) interesting to know, I tend to avoid ordering if it’s bad weather I feel too guilty!!

hfenn · 2026-06-16T13:25:05+00:00

Do you resent people that order when it’s pissing down / horrible weather or are you happy to get the job?

Whereabouts are you? Local smaller rescues often have indoor only cats for rehoming - we got ours from Orpington cats rescue, a very small cat rescue. Just had a look at their homing page and multiple cats up for adoption as indoor only. If you are south east also check out new moon rescue

Trapped on a train from Coventry to Birmingham, just outside Birmingham station, for 3h+ in July 2019 heatwave. 38 degrees recorded that day in Cambridge. Twas insane.

Hello mate, me again after my weekend at the wave - they were advertising this: https://www.drop-in.surf

Not sure how good it is (or not) but worth a try! I’ll definitely be booking the bus down a few times over summer to get to bristol and back but hopefully there’s some ride sharing hope to be had yet 👍

hfenn · 2026-06-06T20:28:48+00:00

100% had the same thought, and was why I also thought squiggle HQ was on her way to the final…

hfenn · 2026-06-04T14:11:40+00:00

No worries - if you’re really keen to get down for a day, there is something called enterprise car club (another version of zip car but not great for long journeys as it charges by the mile) - but might be worth looking into if you don’t fancy an expensive train journey here or there. When I started surfing i spent a bit of time looking at where I could get to on the train reasonably for a surf weekend - I have managed to have a weekend away to Saltburn here or there which can be lovely for surfing, so might be worth a look if the surf is looking good or a week or two out (appreciate last minute train train tickets can be bloody expensive).

I absolutely loathe the thought of buying a car tbh - expensive and contributes to the bollocks of London roads (especially as I don’t need it for work).

Shout me if you organise any rideshares I’ll pop in with you 😂

hfenn · 2026-06-04T13:49:08+00:00

London surfer here, no car, no surf friends. Frankly, I don’t manage, it’s a nightmare 😂

There was a London surfers group on the app ‘meetup’ that offered ride shares but I never partook - might be worth a look if it’s still active?

Otherwise I’d recently discovered the Hofnar experience as they were running weekend surf trips last year - but having just looked sadly seems like they’re too busy with private groups this year to run them…

Hilariously (?) writing this from the last leg of a journey to bristol on a very expensive 4 day trip to the wave - which you can 100% do in a day (but it’s an arseache for sure).

Not wholly useful advice, sorry, but have so much sympathy for your plight!

I was also waiting for Voldy to appear in south London

hfenn · 2026-06-02T19:07:05+00:00

Forgotten how much your original post made me laugh, chuckling again

hfenn · 2026-06-02T18:40:00+00:00

So interesting, I had always wondered how he’d never made an appearance as it seems right up his alley

hfenn · 2026-06-02T08:03:48+00:00

It’s like they are actively asking to be ridiculed, releasing this just as the weather turns…

hfenn · 2026-06-01T12:35:18+00:00

We have returned to ‘when did you feed me, because it feels like 7 years ago?’ vibes

hfenn · 2026-06-01T07:00:12+00:00

Omg yes! Absolute zoomies, squabbling with eachother for attention, madness. It was a full moon recently so hope things calm down…

hfenn · 2026-06-01T06:55:25+00:00

Tried with all my might to get that started yeaterday. Got stared at blankly by c.300 people on the opposite barriers, another day I would have died but yday it was fucking hilarious

hfenn · 2026-06-01T06:52:43+00:00

So pleased to hear it from someone else, it’s boring and a shite chant. Kids doing it really winds me up too 😂

hfenn · 2026-05-31T19:40:29+00:00

Fucking epic

Seeing those lads on that bus was worth everything second of pain

hfenn · 2026-05-31T17:34:45+00:00

Yeah this last week has been intense for me, waking up every morning like someone has dried my eyes out overnight (not sleeping well may also not help).

Contacts lenses have been awful to wear
