I once got told I had "Famine survivor guilt" by an Irish American for disagreeing with him.

"He Did Say It Was Very Hard Work"

Omg they are fabulous!! What is brand of COW SHOES?

Yay! It is delightfully weird.

Eurghhh. I am long past my breastfeeding days, my only vaguely outré use of breast milk (my own, I hasten to add) was as emergency coffee milk in my room in a Travelodge.

The downstairs floor of this bus appears to be covered in ... mashed crisps? Entire thing has an unsettling oily sheen... 😬

The POWER SNORKER? Do report. I just have the manual Neilmed and love it, but am a great devotee of my power water flosser which is kind of like the power irrigator, but for teeth.

I await the results of your bold scientific experiment.

Like if the income from your property goes down (eg because you cannot evict a tenant), this is somehow our collective problem to fix for you?

The joy of living in a country where loads of people's savings/pensions are in the form of investment properties, combined with a deranged belief that property is the only investment where you cannot lose money.

"I am being forced to turn the key and leave it empty" OH ARE YOU NOW MR. LANDLORD

I am still somewhat indigestified.

Made a noodle stir fry with bacon for lunch and I put in TOO MUCH BACON and it was too bacony-oily and BACON, FIRST FRIEND THEN ENEMY, HOW COULD YOU TURN ON ME?

I am 53. *glowers at uterus*

GRRRRRRRR

Yeah, big gigs much more prone to what @ianmoore3000.bsky.social refers to as "event people" (though they can be found in smaller venues as well as I have learned to my cost)

(my hearing is actually impressively not bad for someone who went to a lot of gigs in the late 80s/90s, was also in a band, plus has, eg, heard SUNN O))) in a venue with no obvious limiters, presume in the absence of the above I would be able to hear bees farting from kilometres away)

DID I LEAVE A GOODLY CHUNK OF MY HEARING IN THE SFX IN VAIN?

Landlord firm that issued 36 eviction notices in one estate has been involved in multiple RTB disputes Dozens of tenants affected by Patchflow Ltd’s order ahead of new rent rules coming into effect

Huh, almost as if interacting with the RTB is no form of deterrent

(in the 80s, that is)

I think I was introduced to his genius via the Book of Heroic Failures.

I confess I once charity-shopped a raincoat after consistently getting compliments from pensioners about how "sensible" it looked (I thought it looked pleasingly oversized and flowy, it in fact made me look like a nun on an outing).

you are the antithesis of a leftwing party if you conflate how much someone earns with how much they contribute. This should be a hard line for every union that still links to Labour.

Also hang on, is one of those potatoes topped with fries, aka ... potato?

That is absolutely heartbreaking and infuriating.

I actually passed it the other day and went "oh, nice, everyone loves a baked spud" but did not realize they were made of solid gold.

SIXTEEN QUID FOR A BAKED POTATO. ON DORSET STREET. (no disrespect to Dorset St, I am a Drumcondra girlie, but WTF)
