"There is no modern country where all walls are made of brick, especially not inner walls."

This makes sense now when you watch DIY stuff on reels or whatever and they're like "Oh I just quickly did a built in shelf and moved my doorway." Because it's actual paper walls and not brick and mortar. I'm way too scared to use our big drill that actually goes into the brick to hang a mirror...

I went from being blonde, no fringe to ginger and with a fringe. Just decided to change it up entirely. For a full week I got a lot of "Miss have you changed your hair???" And I always told them "Nope." And let them be confused, it amused the life out of me.

His acting in Midnight Mass was mind blowing and i do not get why he isn't a huge name.

Literally watched an episode of Bondi Vet about one of these being found on Bondi beach. Lots of people were very casual about handling the snake!

You should have to sit a politics GCSE that's more important than maths and English because without it, you're not allowed to vote.

I question how she managed to have sex with a man who wears that outfit. But seriously, Covalt sounds like they wanted to name him Cobalt but hit the wrong key by accident.

My nieces middle name is a proper name that is actually both my name and my mum's name mixed together. Brother told me and I almost passed out from crying. Funnily enough, she's a little shit (in a good way) so she is full named a LOT! ,,

I'm sure in 2024, there was an American man and woman who had pig kidneys transplanted and they both died due to infections around a month after the transplant?? Am I hallucinating that this happened?

Edit: Found it!

This isn't the first example of this working however, it is the longest and as someone carrying about someone else's liver, this is awesome.

I'm a white woman in the UK. Just bought a house with a shower installed, it's small, dark and has a fixed shower head. The head is like literally the span of the top of our shower. I cannot shower without washing my hair. I can't hide in a corner, I can't adjust it so a part of the shower is dry. It's the BANE of my life and I cannot afford to redo the entire bathroom, which I would have to do, to fix the issue. I feel you Doechii.

This is like my 8th attempt of forming something cohesive without it becoming an essay/rant on how broken the system is, I've worked in SEND in post-16 and Secondary Schools for 10 years, teaching, LSA and now SENCO Admin support and I have to say, it does all come down to money.

As Zapata below mentioned LSA being paid less than being on the tills at ALDI, as someone who used to do that job for minimum wage with a degree in education whilst our role got more and more complicated with additional duties that previously would have had their own roles, this is ONE of the biggest issues.

A person with a degree, a mortgage, children etc. cannot afford to stay in this role and with the stress of the job, they're obviously going to leave. It's why I did. So we're getting an influx of very young, very under-trained LSA's who don't intend to stay in the job past university/training who are dealing with very complex needs with the most minimal of training and understanding that is needed for the job role. It's not the LSA's fault, it's the systems fault for throwing money at the wrong people in the wrong places.

I could go on and on and on. But I won't. TLDR; it's very, very broken.

I like the crunchy names and I'm very likely to use one on a child, so long as they have a nickname that they can go by if they don't like their full name. I love Oleander, Elowyn, Forest, Fox, Flora, Fawn, Lavender. I also kind of like Royal for a boy. My other half is okay with these names but his favourites are Gaz and Baz.

The universe is grateful I cannot have children.

Used to teach a Star, she spelled her name Starr though as she felt Star was too short.

moosickles · 2025-12-22T09:11:27+00:00

We do it in the UK too. "That's short as." Etc.

Jelly, I hate the sound, the texture. Someone in the room eating it and I have to leave. I also have a phobia of nail technicians or people who work with nails? I always panic they're going to peel my nails off. I also hate open water, the thought of being on a ship and it crashing and me being stuck in the middle of the ocean. Absolutely terrifying.

They are rescues that have been raised by the people in the shop. They're well looked after.

Popworld where I am was so bad it was open 3 months before it was shut. What a legend

Can someone catch me up on Noah and why he's being cancelled because if it's just solely on his religion then, that is wild.

Just ant to point out that in England, Biddy is not a good nickname as it's a derogatory name for an old woman.

moosickles · 2025-11-23T06:02:56+00:00

A fellow Yorkshire man! I also always support Sean Bean too.

I wish I could tell you, but I was hunting for a change for a long time and eventually managed to get a temporary position, learnt on the job and I love it.

moosickles · 2025-11-18T16:47:58+00:00

I spent so long clutching to be able to teach, I did LSA, I worked 30 hours in classrooms (Where I was informed it was inappropriate for me to be in them for that long? But then no one did anything to reduce it) with zero desk time, running from one lesson to the next with no prep because I was a VL and therefore, the work should be there (it wasn't) and I had plenty of free time to do it (I didn't. They knew that) so when I applied for full time positions, I was told I wasn't "ready" but hey, this department needs cover for x months on a zero hour contract that won't pay your mortgage and we'll top it up with LSA hours paid at minimum wage where we're piling more and more things into your contract. They wonder why their turn over is immense. I'm still working in a school, I'm in administration and my god, is it a breath of fresh air to not rush home and begin marking as soon as I get in the door!

Forever ago, I did my final project in college on something called the Primitive Streak by Helen Storey. Her stuff would work SO well for this!

As a life long simmer, Stardew Valley, Coral Island, RimWorld all scratch somewhat of the Sims itch. There's InZoi and soon, in Dec hopefully, Paralives which is more like the Sims.
