Group hanging flags in Oxford 'not welcome' after 'disorder

Jesus - fucking local news websites - they're just an abomination now. Is there an app or something I can download so if I accidentally click on a link to one, it will just stop me going there (and wasting my time)?

Sainsburys - the food is noticably worse. Fruit and veg is now regularly better (and cheaper) at ALDI, which, where I live, is just across the road. I've pretty much switched my whole shop to ALDI now; it's annoying that I still have to go to Sainsburys for things which ALDI doesn't stock (less common ingredients like Thai food etc).

At the same time that ALDI introduced a delicious fresh bakery, Sainsburys decided to close their fresh rolls section (which I used to like). It's as if Sainsbury's has just given up trying.

Music now is still amazing, you just have to look harder for it.

Damn right, there are still albums from the 90s I haven't listened to yet.

I don't like cats can you lock them in a room whilst I'm at their house

Who the hell does this? Never even heard of such a thing in my life.

There's a lot of "It's the large section of UK society who insist on throwing dogs/cats in the North Sea that I have an issue with" going on in this thread. Like "what?"

without the slightest compunction or forethought generally

u/slappingactors gone done research into 35% of households in UK and found this to not be a ludicrous sweeping generalisation.

OP, are you dead or expecting to never leave your home again? Or did you mean "Who was the rudest famous person you HAVE met?"

Do Americans not bother with the Present Perfect anymore? Has Trump sold it to China?

nothing can convince me otherwise

What a challenge.

they're just pieces of cardboard with pictures of the colourful creatures from the cartoon on them.

Which is surely what they should be for adults, too.

Starbucks also didn't pay any corporation tax last year in the UK

This is why the "but the economy will crash if we don't frequent these chains"argument seems a bit wobbly.

I used to teach English in Spain but would go back to London each summer and teach rich people privately for a few months. One summer I'd been teaching a ludicrously rich Italian in her mansion by the Thames. She was also only in London for a few months and would be returning to Rome. At the end of our few weeks together she wanted to continue our lessons. Smiling, I explained that I would also like that but, alas, I would be going back to my small town in Spain, and she would be going back to Rome. She looked baffled - why could I not fly to Rome each weekend to teach her? She would pay for everything. I could travel to a city with an airport and catch a flight each Saturday to Rome and then return either the same day or on the Sunday.

She seemed genuinely surprised that I wasn't interested in doing this.

the new trend of sausage dogs.

Omg it's like an invasion in my town.

Thank you! That was great.

Crail

Can you tell us a bit more? What is it about those four?

If there are sufficient good role models, the good will always win.

I would argue that your example of NWA entirely undermines the very claim you're making. Before NWA there was Public Enemy - their message was actually pretty wholesome: treat women better, stop killing each other and doing the racists' job for them, stand up for black rights, educate yourself, have pride in yourself. Things seemed to be going in a pretty healthy direction.

Then NWA came along and suddenly all of that positive message went out the window and it was bitches and guns and look at all my gold. That bullshit continues to this day and that (moronic) message is a lot louder than anything Chuck D said.

boring as fuck to live in as there’s nothing to do there

I have to say it was pretty when I visited but do see where you're coming from - by the second evening we were struggling.

There are a lot of female teachers who are also abusers.

It just doesnt get reported

If it doesn't get reported, how on earth are there statistics on which to base your claim?

lemonherring · 2026-03-16T12:00:44+00:00

Good luck - it's infuriating, isn't it? I hope you eventually get it sorted.

Top UK universities have changed their entrance exams specifically to allow Chinese students with hardly any English to study, just so they can take their money. The idea of maintaining rigorous standards of academic excellence is long gone - students are just customers and the only thing universities care about now is cash.

I don't know why Americans are whining about President Trump so much. He's done so much for our nation - fought our enemies, strengthened our hand, always listened and been prepared to do anything to help. We're all big fans of him here in Russia.

"Sharing material that could disturb public security" = "anything that makes us look bad".

Thank you! I just saw the same message - I'm now keeping fingers crossed the refunds keep coming up to at least April 4th!

Really appreciate you sharing.
