It's sounding like a throwback to the treasure hunt. Except this time you hopefully won't have a jigsaw piece left at the end.

You don't know he wasn't dancing. Maybe you just didn't stay and watch long enough.

I'd have said the fridge was one of the better places to eat cheese from.

Last year this was so good I joined from the deck of a boat to avoid missing out. This year I've scheduled my whole holiday around it. So none of your feeble excuses, just get your ticket now.

I'd have thought a telescopic tree would be easier to prune because you could jus- [gets booed off stage]

Ours is set so you can't delete a folder until it's empty. So if you copy something with a complicated nested folder structure in there, you're basically stuck with it until the end of days.

Yes I'd noticed the greys are much coarser, too. My existing hair is very fine, so the difference is really noticeable.

I can think of several people i could give those to...

I actually have to WORK with maps. You try finding a timesheet code for "But look, you can follow this Roman road all the way up to there..."

What scene makes you emotional no matter how many times you see it?

Oh he's adorable! I'd happily adopt him, if you have a pint glass and a piece of paper handy.

Ah, I see you're making the mistake of going to the gym while being [scandalised whisper] female. Did nobody tell you?!

When adding a cross-reference in MS Word, why is the default option to insert the whole figure caption, not just the figure number? Why would anyone ever want to do that?

If the baker is also quite podgy, then we can guess what happened there.

But yourself a bunch of lovely flowers, for no reason other than you deserve them.

And likewise - wading through a big pile of autumn leaves, or tightrope walking along a low wall.

These two reprobates. Wanton destruction of anything softer than cold steel, including (but not limited to) multiple sleeves, the legs of food platforms, cage ladders, a bra, several expensive nest boxes, innumerable cardboard tubes and egg boxes, and this wheel. They continue to show no remorse.

Two white gerbils curled up together asleep, in a nest of chewed paper and wood shavings.

For a second I caught myself staring to think "He's forgotten the back holiday, the first Monday of the month isn't until tomor- ...oh."

Having cycled Land's End to John O'Groats, can confirm the country is a very weird shape and bits of it are much further than you think. People starting asking just north of Birmingham whether I was half way yet, and were astounded when I said that was Carlisle.

Or is it going like the clappers on the meteorological stuff, but trying to smite an equal number of fascists and communists to ensure political balance?

crockpothatlady.bsky.social @crockpothatlady.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

But is that red labour, or green labour? (The latter not to be confused with the county of Green, of course, which is blue).

I hadn't realised it was possible to leave my autism with the pile of handbags in the middle. I might have enjoyed clubbing more, had I known.

Introduce yourself as what almost killed you. Hi, I’m a 90,000 word PhD thesis only three other people have probably ever read.

Someone who worked with me did this. They had an astrophysics degree.

To be fair they weren't intending to crash shite into the moon. It was just left-over space junk from a previous launch, and drifted over that way. You'd be justified asking questions about the Tesla currently orbiting the sun, though.

Yes, machine learning models are very capable when used properly for the right tasks, and don't have to be trained on stolen stuff.

Iron machinist, parlour maid, railway signalman, kitchen maid. And parents both did electronics apprenticeships, though ended up doing less manual work later.

I am choosing to interpret 'climbing machine'as a gadget that goes and scales a cliff for you, while you sit in the shade with a G&T. I will accept no other interpretation.

It has nine bedrooms, so if we can split that between nine people that's only... Oh. Damn.

I initially read this as HEADLINER HELL and was all ready to argue with you.

Will prospective partners accept my self-diagnosis as disaster-woman, though, or do I need to go on another waiting list?

"Verify you age" When I was at junior school, the PTA did a lot of fundraising to buy A Computer. It lived on a trolly so it could be wheeled in to whichever class had a turn with it that week. It was mostly for looking at in wonder, not for touching.

You may yet get upstaged by a little guy in a fur coat, though.
