My 16 year old girl has started doing this outside the bedroom door at about 7am when she thinks we should be awake. She’s always been a totally silent miaower but now sounds like she’s being strangled. Not at 3am thankfully though!

Not that nice though!

So funny. My two boys are grown up and I’d forgotten all about the bag fruit

I think people are confusing systems available and widely used now with then. And I was working in financial services at that time

I’m irritated by the way he’s framing it as defence when it’s clearly attack

I love that he’s bringing the glamour. The other men are very bland this year

To me, he comes across as authentic, well intentioned and genuinely interested in people and other views. But also very pleased with himself and out of touch with how most people live.

I’ve done that before and my case was delivered straight to left luggage and I went back and got it. Try calling them or going back 🤞

So sorry for you. Hope it all works out

Slow cookers are very good for that

I was just saying the same. And Johnson has clearly never been near an oven

Not a Secret Santa but a friend regifted me the present I'd given her the year before together with a half used up No 7 lipstick (which I hope was in the present by mistake but I've never dared to ask)

And making cats wear Christmas outfits once a year

My tomcat was always a bit offended to have to eat cat food, turned his nose up at cat treats and would have lived exclusively on people food if he could. My little female cat would live on Dreamies if she could and treats all real food offerings like poison.

I was in the US for Thanksgiving once and had to explain to more than one American why we don’t celebrate Thanksgiving in the UK

Goa is great if they mainly want beaches. Kerala for more variety

I said exactly that earlier today. Every year I think I'm getting away with it and then I start feeling inexplicably tired and sad. Should be OK by March...

View from the very apolitical mid-thirties guys in my office today - I guess you need to have controls, but you can’t help feeling sorry for the migrants and don’t we need some of them anyway?

Me too!! You’ve resurfaced some very unwelcome memories 😂

I bought a flat in Islington in the 1980s when my partner and I were both in entry level professional-type jobs in not well paid industries. Sadly I sold it and moved out of London before houses became cash cows rather than homes.

Totally agree with Lewis and great to hear that view put forward in the media

Why would you even post this?

I went to the very posh wedding of distant relative recently and got chatting to nice young woman who worked at a whisky distillery. I found out after that her family owned the distillery and the island it was on

How typical. When I'm swimming laps I expend more energy defending my territory against men who act as if I'm invisible than I do actually swimming 😂

As someone aged 60, it’s comforting to know I will still manage to get some enjoyment out of life when I reach the great age of 61 🙄

Mine would have given it a taste first

My very working class dad used to say this all the time as an expletive. Quite odd now that I think about it

I know someone whose daughter got a scholarship to the sixth form at Marlborough College (not boarding) and even that cost a fortune in extras. When she felt unwell, rather than call her parents to see if they could collect her, they sent her home in a taxi and charged the parents over £40
