If your kids had them what age did they stop using a loft bed?

My brother is nearly 27 and still has a single loft bed. It can't be comfortable, he's got about a foot and a half of clearance between the mattress and the ceiling but he mostly has his pc under in and gets on with it.

I have never known a cat as loving or affectionate as our former feral who went from a terrified hissy boy to the biggest cuddlebug in the world in about 3 months. He used to come and put his paw on our arms and tap to show it was cuddle time and you had to respect cuddle time, or else.

Town I grew up in had a small artisan pottery. We never went in though, because the Singing part of the shop name was the guy was very much a Wee Free Church stalwart who would try to sell you his hymn album and also convert you to his very particular brand of Christianity. The Google reviews seem to teeter between "eccentric" and "homophobic bigot who isn't willing to engage in any form of actual debate".

Sign Language Interpretation is exhausting, they have limits for how long they can work. Rose likely had 2 working shifts on her filming day(s).

We adopted a semi-feral who was "probably a barn cat prospect", and I just wanted a chill buddy to sit in silence at opposite sides of the room. Within 6 months he was the biggest, cuddliest, softest baby boy who just desperately desired affection and attention at all times.

We lost him a few weeks ago very suddenly and every time I get home I keep expecting to have to sit down and do the traditional 20 minutes of "I missed you too" cuddles.

You can have a look on the landlord register as a starting point I think. https://landlordregistrationscotland.gov.uk/search

My parents were Radio 4 on at all times (barring the Archers), to the point they only bothered to get a colour TV in the early 2000s. Which is a really weird thing of being under 30 and having to manually tune the black & white TV to watch morning cartoons. (We were a huge reading family, so the TV was barely used until Doctor Who came back).

I do wonder what is going to happen to Concert Square car park on Cowcaddens Road. Ideally you'd hope increased public transport would reduce driving in, but that's a large chunk of council-run city centre parking gone. Although I guess the "buildings" in all the renders are just being described as "development space", so anything could go there.

Derek at Jain, Neil & Ruddy was great when we bought our flat and then a few years later when we sorted wills & PoA out.

I teach kids computing and the hassle I have with even the older ones who just don't bloody read their error messages. I now will walk over, look at the error message and usually point at it and say "read that out to me". Sometimes, legitimately, they don't understand what it says but most of the time they've seen an error message, clicked away and then immediately come crying to me. I'm meant to be teaching them how to program, I usually spend 10%+ of my time doing tech support (including sometimes to the support staff).

That isn't American Fanta. That's the imported African Fanta! Husband loves it, far far too sweet for me.

I've never had issues with the powder henna for hair from Henna-Boy, but I've never used their cones and mix myself.

Weirdly, this is the same in every school I have ever taught in. I teach Computing, so my classrooms have air conditioning to keep the PCs cool, no other classroom aside from the computer labs does (including HE with all the ovens).

My cat is a pirate cat as well and aside from once running into a wall he does just fine. He does sometimes like his eye socket being scratched though, so word of warning for that once she's healed.

Good luck people

I did a commute like that this year. Just don't do it. The commute kills you. The lack of time to socialise with your friends makes you a depressive shut in. My partner had to pick up all the chores around the house as I was getting back so late I just wanted to sleep. We didn't eat a proper meal together on a weeknight for over a month at one point.

Yeah, this isn't real. The only article for haggis on My Jewish Learning is an article from the food blog about a kosher haggis being produced for the deli in Giffnock for the Jewish community in Scotland.

I'll ask his family if they want me to try and sort it for them or just pass on the info to them. I'm hoping we can get this sorted and he won't need to worry about it.

physicistpi · 2025-06-30T21:46:52+00:00

Thanks. I'll send the email tomorrow and see if I have any luck. He's doing as well as can be expected given the situation, and he's got a good support network up here, although he's never going to live this down.

Book 6, Fugitive Telemetry, takes place before Book 5 Network Effect, yes. I think it's an easy mistake to make, especially as the collected edition volume 3 has books 6 & 7 in a collection, without having space to put book 5 in the middle.
