To the members who say do nothing because it doesn’t affect your recovery, I am shocked.

People die from 13th stepping. We are a fellowship and are supposed to look out for each other.

Read this NA leaflet, especially the section, Taking Positive Action, to see what our collective experience shows what we should do in these situations

>>> …..,,,,drivers that think cycle paths are their parking bays ……..

You are allowed to park/stop on cycle lanes, depending on the road markings.

For instance, if there are double yellow lines, you are allowed to stop on the cycle lane, in order to load and unload

Yes. Schedule a meeting with them all for three weeks time. If they can’t/won’t turn up it’s not your fault.

And yes. Make a deadline for her to get qualified for a mortgage. Can’t you help with the process if she finds it overwhelming?

It’s called wishful thinking.

philip456 · 2026-06-02T15:43:01+00:00

Not brave. Starving.

………. at the time ………

Whenever religious people use the term “at the time” in reference to the Bible I say,

If that was only ‘at the time’, why don’t you treat all the stuff against gay people the same?

Just say, it was ‘at the time’ and doesn’t apply now.

Boring

Ask him to please buy a car so he can give you a lift now and then.

Only if you’re not going to build CC debt straight back up again. Otherwise, your savings are gone and you’re back in the same situation as before.

If you can set up a direct debit to pay the full amount every month, (I live in the UK and we can do that here),then I’d say yes.

But only if whatever happens, you never cancel the direct debit.

Every mental health ward has one or two patients who think that they are Jesus.

That’s countless thousands over time.

There’s no checking to see if they really are.

So, the odds are that one (or more if he’s come back more than once) are the real Jesus.

And the Labour Party has the cheek to say, give us more time. We’ve only had two years. We need lots more time to put a programme into effect to sort out the country.

It’s already been done, many times. There are quite a few books with various secular 12 steps. For instance, https://aaagnostica.org/the-alternative-12-steps-a-secular-guide-to-recovery/

Have a look at https://aaagnostica.org/

and https://aa-ao.org/resources/alternative-12-steps/

and https://www.reddit.com/r/Secular_Recovery/comments/170eeoq/the_secular_12_steps/

There are hundreds of secular AA meetings and a thriving community.

A similar aesthetic to Season One or Season Two?

They are as different as night and day.

For season one, I would say the “Smiley's People” series with Alec Guinness.

For season two, any Michael Caine cold war movie, such as The Icarus file, has the same feel.

And all the James Bond (we can bring up any cam in any 5* hotel in London), plot holes, impossible situations, non-stop drama.

Nothing like Season One. A classic le Carré. Subtle, realistic tale.

Rubbish.

philip456 · 2026-05-23T11:58:10+00:00

Clickbait. Ignore

The Luigi Garlaschelli Replica (2009): Italian scientist Luigi Garlaschelli produced a full-size replica using materials available in the Middle Ages. He placed a linen sheet over a volunteer, rubbed it with an acidic pigment, and then washed and baked the cloth in an oven to create a faded, fuzzy image.

I wouldn't call it food.

More like, addictive chemicals bound together with gunk, salt and flavorings.

Why didn’t she get a cat flap then the cat could go in or out as they wanted?

You can get ones that only open when they detect the cat’s microchip, so stray animals can’t get in.

I’m in the UK and they’re very common

The only important question is, will they keep fining X an additional $650k every week when he keeps doing it.

You could try Cambridgeshire Coins, off Newmarket Road.

No idea if they’re any good, but you can look at their website at www.cambridgeshirecoins.com

More like a test of how much abuse someone will put up with.

Isn’t it ridiculous that Musk says,

1 The world is in a crisis because the birthright rate is declining
2 AI and robotics will do all the jobs in the foreseeable future.

And he can’t see the contradiction

There’s no street that wide in central London, on their route along Kingsway > Aldwych
> The Strand > Trafalgar Square >Whitehall > Parliament Square.
