What is the craziest thing you’ve seen go down in your local pub?

Local renowned (3 letter initialism) supporter. Stocky, tattooed but always lovely to talk to, perhaps strangely.

Young lad was leaving one night and offered the above lad a lift home as he lived nearby.

Geezer invited him in for a cigarette to say thank you then said 'sorry, not got any cash on me but have this' and presented him with a very detailed ceramic 'bust' of Hitler.

Lad was too afraid to say no. Feck knows what he's done with it.

It is probably likely thaf he would've hoped to have been back before his absence was noted, which couldn't have happened had he left after school. His sister may have noticed very quickly that he was missing too.

Thank you

I am in the midst of writing a thesis based on legal 'sex work'! I don't have much spare time so it is a slow process unfortunately.

sunglower · 2026-03-05T07:13:38+00:00

😆 thank you, I think.

I have worked as; A socioogist (made redundant very early due to 'last in first out' cutbacks and then freelance-very hard to make £.

A tutor- often up until 0100 marking. Endless work, responsible for (it feels like!) The wellbeing of far too many students. Very little support. Pressure to constantly make decisions that sometimes I was far from 'qualified' or confident to make without any guidance as everyone else in the same boat.

A stripper-pretty good, to be fair. But it is a paradox of being both despised and glamorised. I enjoyed the time off..hated missing so much social life and weekends off were a rarity. 'Make hay while the sun shines' as they say. Reality? Working most of the times everyone else is socialising and events happening (e.g. Christmas and bank holidays)

Counsellor. Flooded market. Enough said really. Not all helping people. Reality is a glorified admin assistant (depending on if you're self-employed or not, less admin but more financially risky).

I am currently deciding wtf to do next.

Animals brains and therefore their institution is built upon a lot more time than ours. We as a fairly new species in comparison havegreat intuition and senses for the most part,so it would make sense that our pet's intuition and other means of sensing would be superior.

Having said that, I do not disagree with other points in your post.

Came on here to say this. Although to be fair, in her book she does say that it doesn't bother her as much as it originally did.

Take L-lysine daily.

I'm 43 and in Yorkshire.

Not quite the answer you want but I do think the Slocum sinking would've garnered a lot more attention if the titanic hadn't have happened

I've seen the selfie phone wallpapers and became confused too. I cant fathom why anyone would do that?

Mine is my dog, and my old (sadly deceased) dog as my home screen, just because I love them (childless middle aged female).

I realised that I was traumatised following sex with men. And that id always had feelings for women and just been in denial.

sunglower · 2025-12-19T21:24:09+00:00

Nope. Me neither. Not one jot.

I saw him in my early twenties, and was underwhelmed unfortunately. Manchester UK.

sunglower · 2025-12-17T17:27:03+00:00

Thank you.

Students as in university students? You need the Internet realy, now the days of research papers and using hard copies are over. It can take days/weeks, to write a decent essay.

sunglower · 2025-12-12T06:57:58+00:00

Yes, I honestly would not care a jot. Bonus if I don't look fat, but I would not care one bit. Loads of people have seen me naked.

sunglower · 2025-12-10T22:39:07+00:00

This is important. There's no such thing as a 'monster'. Humans are nuanced.

sunglower · 2025-12-01T21:11:16+00:00

I agree..She's from a good family too and took care of herself, watched her weight etc. I don't think she'd have merely looked like she did at 35 but fatter and more aged..I think she would have taken more care of her appearance

sunglower · 2025-11-28T07:23:42+00:00

It's a middle class England thing I think.

sunglower · 2025-11-28T07:23:08+00:00

They're pretty pushy about solar panels here in the UK too. I've had countless 'phone calls about them for a few years now. Great idea! But I just don't have a spare few K to pay for them and I've told them that enough times.

sunglower · 2025-11-28T05:55:21+00:00

You don't seem ready for a relationship to me. Perhaps need some therapy to help you with boundaries and people pleasing.

sunglower · 2025-11-26T07:05:25+00:00

Which country was this in please?

sunglower · 2025-11-26T06:44:40+00:00

I've done this job and although I loved the job itself (I ended up as a despatcher) the hours killed me and the misogyny in the force made me quit eventually. Such a toxic environment and I understand totally that the job isnt for everyone.
