Just applied to an evening part-time course for Carpentry and Joinery. They asked for my GCSEs which was a struggle to remember. Hopefully the degree will be sufficient. Fingers crossed I get accepted🤞

A friend starts a social group and I reply saying "sounds great!" and everyone else in the group just emoji reacts to the only message posted by the founder, and I suddenly realise... am I a loser? Should I just have emoji reacted?

My best craft advice is "Put a giant worm in it." You can never go wrong with a giant worm. Sci-fi: Giant worm on an alien planet Fantasy: Giant worm in mountain sitting on a pile of gold Horror: Giant worm (eats people) Romance: Giant worm causes third-act breakup Mystery: Giant worm investigates

When I think of a "royal gala" it should summon my imagination in an explosion of splendor, not remind me of a distinctly average apple

my friend very kindly sent me a chocolate egg, but I believe the real motivation was sending the cat a box of Mon Petit Intense

This weekend I played football for 2 hours Saturday morning, put up a shelf, went to my neighbour's party at the local pub and met other locals, had my first night at Revenge, swung back into the local pub to randomly meet the guy who sold his house to me...

Can anyone recommend an office chair that has a little "sidecar" for a cat? because she hates it when she can't sit next to me when I'm working at my desk

This is completely insane, lads. It’s not her that’s obsessed with anything, it the tiny gaggle of absolute headbangers who have not stopped screaming at her about it for five years. *You* are the wackos here, not her.

When people ask me how I am, I always say "I'm good, thank you" but because of how I say it, they normally respond "I'm good thanks", even though I never asked (at least it makes me seem polite)

Invention idea: a small butter fridge with a timer that automatically turns off early in the morning which allows my butter to become spreadable, and then turns back on around midday. Let me know if this already exists

I've watched only the first two episodes of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms but have already derived more pleasure from those two episodes than I did from two seasons of House of the Dragon. A little whimsy makes a tale.

I think we can say there’s definitely Noticing Things going on now, at the BBC. You might have got this stuff piecemeal here and there but now they’re just laying it out in blunt terms.
One question many in Westminster are now pondering is: what sort of politician will Sir Keir be without the man many say was his political brain?
Because unlike almost all relationships between prime minister and adviser, Sir Keir did not choose McSweeney - it was arguably the other way around.
In the Corbyn years when control of Labour had been lost to the left, McSweeney polled party members and decided that the lawyer and shadow Brexit secretary was his best chance for wrestling back control of his party.
In what some claim was an elaborate and perfectly-executed deception, McSweeney managed to persuade pro-Corbyn party members that Sir Keir was one of them.
And after winning the leadership, Sir Keir purged many Corbynites - including the former leader himself - and pivoted to a more centrist general election pitch.

Had a good chat with my next door neighbour who is a tradesman, who can "do everything", and who has already offered to pop by over the weekend to drill out a rusted screw I'm having issues with. Amazing.

I just had a really in-depth chat with an engineer from Southern Water about my external stopcock, the external stopcock replacement scheme in my area, the faulty part that was installed in these stopcocks, why they were faulty, why they were recalled, the process for calling engineers out...
