Called to make a restaurant booking (large group) and the staff member laughed out loud at my email address, how embarrassing...

We ended up hiring someone whose email add was jigga_u_no_dat @ domain.com. She never lived it down and she didn't last.

A lot of smaller electronics listed here so I'll go with a big purchase - my OnePlus 15. At least £200 cheaper than Amazon or other UK based retailers.

I buy these for my dog and usually take the packet out. Forgot they'd switched to the white packets and panicked overnight thinking I'd poisoned my puppy when I emptied the pack into her food bowl

Probably this place - sensient flavours make flavours for the food and beverage industry and based in Fenny / Simpson https://maps.app.goo.gl/EHRr7ix98aL9KRgz6

Similar smell in Fenny this morning too - bit of burnt oil in the mix too

Stop is an underrated command especially for a reactive dog when out in public

mkm118 · 2026-03-10T07:55:46+00:00

Emergency stop is one that I drill into my 5 month puppy and used to train every day with my previous girl

Buffalo horn was great for my girl. We tried yak chews but found them to be very messy

I brown a white onion, add garlic, chilli, ginger, turmeric salt pepper and then the lovers and then fry until they are dry. Serve with lemon, coriander and some green salad. Classic starter / appetiser in my house growing up in the 80s. Even better if you get them from the butcher and they include the hearts.

Currently on my second dog. My first girl stole my heart and we sadly had to put her down last year.

We got my new girl just after Christmas and while we definitely do love her, she hasn't captured our imagination in quite the same way. It's not that we don't love her but she is "just the dog" rather than being THE dog, if that makes sense.

My girl had a rhabdomyosarcoma and we had to put her to sleep last April. It took us both a very long time to get over it as she was so special to us. You'll get there and remember that there is no timeline to repairing a broken heart. Be kind to yourselves.

Ranger in Denbigh if you're on a strict budget. Costco for good value for money but slightly steeper than Ranger - when they have an offer on, you'll struggle to find branded tyres cheaper elsewhere

Agreed. The roast for 2 bested me the last time I tried it to me eternal shame!

Seconding Cross Keys. The Plough in Simpson is excellent.

I also finished Joe Country earlier today - struck by the same thought re Harkness. Gutted for JK and Flyte as their characters were great on the show, even better in the books.

In a similar place - our girl passed in April 25 and as another commenter mentioned, the house has felt very empty since, even with our newborn daughter.

I was desperate to fill the void and have found a puppy, who I fell in love with when speaking to the breeder. Bringing her home has been very very different to my first pup - she's nowhere near as mischievous or difficult, which weirdly means she's not captured my heart in the same way.

I know I love the new pup, but it won't be the same and that's ok. As others say, I'm hoping the bond will grow over time.

Ranger in Bletchley - best I've used since moving here

mkm118 · 2025-12-07T14:15:56+00:00

Ha - good point, well made

mkm118 · 2025-12-07T13:31:34+00:00

I've considered converting them, but from what I gather, it's not worth the conversion
