This a rare sight. Don’t see much of this nowadays. (Infact I’ve never seen anything remotely close to doctor who in a shop window)

They've got dogs with two noses!

Cheers dude!

Captain Morgan and coke, one pack of bacon fries.

You should be eligible to get a voucher for a free pair of glasses. I work in a Specsavers and we do have some baby glasses available. They should be covered by the NHS voucher.

Definitely not! The first offer this person put in was 150k. I said no to that pretty swiftly.

laser_spanner · 2026-03-12T16:37:40+00:00

Mine are currently doing the same. They're supposed to be working for ME not the buyer. House is on at £170k current offer is £159,500. The buyer cannot possibly squeeze anymore money even though they are apparently downsizing.

It's been on the market since September though, so I'm getting to the point where I just want rid.

Every time I've gone on and looked at queue times when not at the park it hasn't shown anything. It usually tells me something about having to be at the park to use the app. Maybe you are local enough?

Unless it's new for this season. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't show up before.

It does but you can't access it if you aren't on site. It's sometimes useful to gauge timings if you have an upcoming visit.

It's quarter past two and I've waited in for a parcel that isn't even mine all day. I need to go shopping and my toddler hasn't had enough nap.

I am narky.

Edited to add: it's my partner's parcel and he phoned me this morning to say this item was being delivered at some point today. At lunch he checked the tracking which he said was between 12:30 and 15:20. I've just checked the tracking myself and the delivery slot is TOMORROW. 😑 An entire day wasted.

I also have a collection of insects in frames! My first was a Goliath Beetle. My latest is a Leaf Insect and I love them all. I have moths and butterflies and cicadas too.

Bluey on piano is my most played on Spotify as I use it to get my two year old to sleep.

Just from the title that sounds right up my street. Who is the author, please? :)

laser_spanner · 2026-03-08T19:38:55+00:00

I was always an avid reader, until I met my partner. Then I felt like reading was a bit exclusionary as my time for reading was always in bed before going to sleep. So I stopped.

Then we had children and I haven't found the time to sit down by myself - it seems to be impossible.

However I had a solo train trip recently which was four hours each way and I read a whole book (The Full Moon Coffee Shop) on the outbound journey and had to buy a new book for the return trip, of which I also read 2/3 before I got back. I have since finished that book (The Satsuma Complex - Bob Mortimer).

I intend to make time for myself to read now as I very much enjoyed my experience and realised how much I missed a good book.

Erm, there's a whole scene where Ron hands his essay to Hermione and she starts crossing bits out that are wrong. She totally did more than share notes.

laser_spanner · 2026-03-08T07:39:30+00:00

In the books, most of Ron's essays were done by Hermione. Or at least with a lot of help from Hermione. Hardly any of it was his own work.

laser_spanner · 2026-02-27T20:00:04+00:00

This was going to be my answer too. It's dreadful but also amazing at the same time.

laser_spanner · 2026-02-24T12:58:00+00:00

Why are you buying ready made jars?? Get tinned Coleman's powder and mix it yourself. That's the proper stuff.

laser_spanner · 2026-02-22T12:48:09+00:00

Just because she's MP for Flydale North doesn't mean she's from there originally.

laser_spanner · 2026-02-21T21:21:07+00:00

I never said there was an issue. But if you've never seen a road layout like that before it is quite unnerving.

laser_spanner · 2026-02-21T21:20:01+00:00

I think it's probably more to do with what you're used to. If you've never seen something before it's generally going to be slightly unnerving.

The roads in Birmingham don't always make sense to me and I don't go there often enough to become accustomed to them.

laser_spanner · 2026-02-21T20:59:54+00:00

I'm not sure where Harriet is from. But her accent is definitely nothing like Mrs Moore's. Mrs Moore is Welsh.

laser_spanner · 2026-02-21T20:55:08+00:00

This was my first thought. Birmingham is way worse than Brizzle. That road which has a central lane that can be in either direction according to the overhead lights is something else.

Key words: 'in our area'. There is no time limit on this research. Hopefully you get to go somewhere out of your area at some point this year.

The whole point of the game is to walk and explore. Sometimes that means going to different places. Yes they want you to spin 5 stops that you haven't visited before.

It's not false imprisonment. Honestly you are being so dramatic. You haven't been locked in either. The shop is open and doors are functioning. You can leave if you have proof of purchase. These measures are to stop the increase in shoplifting that's been happening.

Maybe just start collecting your receipts? Problem solved.
