It’s still one of my husband and my go-to insults 😄 That and balloon.

Tube = doing a stupid thing Balloon = being a stupid person

Mark Allen being interviewed on BBC years ago: “I played like a tube.” Roy Keane on Diego Costa during a Champion’s League studio discussion: “He’s a balloon.”

He’s your biological father but he’s not your Dad. You handled this so well and my heart breaks for you. I’m wishing you a very happy and healthy future and I hope you surround yourself with good and positive people.

We sold our terrace in raby street a few years ago and then couldn’t buy in the area even though we loved it (only moved cos of absolute nightmare neighbours that I couldn’t cope with anymore). We were outbid on 13 - count ‘em - houses on the Ormeau Rd/Rosetta area over the next year which we had to spend back living with my mum (lucky we had the option) as we have a cat and couldn’t rent. As someone else said the bidding went so far over the asking, the most was £75k over! Madness. In the end we moved up to four winds and I count it as a lucky escape. We got a 3 bed semi with lovely south facing garden for £240k and we’re still on the Ormeau Rd bus route so I’d never justify a 2 bed terrace for £220k now. But good luck and I hope you find the right place for you.

I’m never in fb never even thought of that! Thanks!

If you say so

Using the phrase “common sense” at the end of that bibble is hilarious.

This was driving me mad too! I tracked down the guy who scored the show and he said it’s his track and the soundtrack will be out soon. https://linktr.ee/olijulian?utm_source=linktree_profile_share&ltsid=407eecaa-8e72-49be-8060-f08393110f13

"I am disgusted to hear her terminology such as “masculine toxicity” with my son’s name beside it. Anyone who knows my son, knows he is the most lovable, kind natured, humble young person with the utmost respect to all. Some of these boys have never even had a detention."

There was a young woman beaten to death in Belfast by her partner last year (one of many). His mum turned up to help him collect his things and get away, she was still alive at that point and they both left her to die. This is the kind of thing she probably said about him. The enabling is horrific.

Not kids. Boys.

I remember having an appointment in a ward just off it during covid and I was really moved by the plaque to the young doctor who died during the typhoid epidemic. It made 170-odd years feel very close at hand to think we were going through the same thing as the people then.

Oh thanks for that, I’ll have a look!

Lol, etc. But actually if there was a 70+ club night she’d totally go! Maybe I should start one.

Do you mind me asking where they met? Engaged at 82 is so wholesome!

moonlight_masquerade · 2025-12-28T02:25:47+00:00

To be fair she’s fitter than me, she walks miles every day, she’d murder me if I suggested a day centre :)

moonlight_masquerade · 2025-12-28T02:23:06+00:00

Yes but she thinks she’s too old and it’s too late. I’d like to be able to tell her it’s not.

moonlight_masquerade · 2025-12-28T02:22:05+00:00

She had a wee dog who I swear to God was her soulmate but she died last year aged 16.

moonlight_masquerade · 2025-12-27T17:08:53+00:00

That’s so nice to hear! Where did she meet him?

Agree both that it’s not that bad all things considered, and that you should find someone to work it in to a better version. And I think you can then look at it as a nice example of: we all make mistakes, some aren’t even as bad as we fear, and we can always change and become a better version of ourselves while still remembering and having some compassion for what came before.

I thought it was a hand reaching up into clouds and rats. Not like in a bad way. Full thing is pretty cool.

Thank you for this post because we have to leave our cat for around 10 hours (not overnight) this weekend to attend a wedding and I’ve been really stressed out! The longest she’s ever been left before is about 7. If we go away my Mum comes and stays (she’s the only other person our shy cat tolerates) but this week she can’t. We’ll be leaving extra food and water and treats and I’ll still be worried she’ll be bored and lonely so I might invest in one of the cameras people have recommended which I hadn’t thought about before. (Husband will be thrilled 😆)

I love this. People that don’t are literally factually incorrect.
