I left Twitter because a nazi bought it so I don't really give a shit about "where the action is."

Aha, that would be a new experience for me. Definitely agree with shorter nails though, never like talons!

I LOVE this ☺️ It’s tricky though - 50 years of doing it and I still botch my right hand every time. Guess there are videos on the internet to help, maybe I should watch!

If you’re still undecided - please do it. It’s nice just for 45 minutes of feeling pampered, as well as the look of a manicure (And I’d love to see what colour/style you went for. )

We discuss this a lot. I’d be applying my HRT spray. My son tells me he will be reading a book, a prop he’s going to make that says “Boly Hible”. He is an unusual lad.

The last week is always gripping! Definitely recommend you watch a few old series. Alan Cumming hosts the US ones, he’s great too.

Wow, think I’m in double figures by now - have seen the American, New Zealand and Australian versions too! You sit through a load of crap, but it really pulls you in towards the end. Just sorry your first experience has included the worst traitor ever! 🤦🏻‍♀️🤪

Totally agree. Always imagined we’d be sat on crates, surrounded by chaos, but opening the champagne and happily toasting each other. Instead we were exhausted, broke, trying to suss out the boiler, dealing with all the post-move admin…It’s such a painful process.

America right now is the maddest place on earth. Like watching a David Lynch film.

We’ve just watched Barchester Towers - TV series from the 80s - and he was utterly superb.

Son is on a long layover in China and we are helping him pass the time by discussing Chinese toilets, Kvistgaarden’s non-appearance in the Wales v Denmark game, and Layton’s hat in the pottery throwdown. A man of parts.

Oh god I realise it’s a treat in comparison. And actually today the diversion was down my road so I texted my husband to wave out the window as I passed. Absolute limbs!

Big fan of the way London buses sound a “bong of doom” at the last stop before going on diversion.

Football in general was only just emerging from the 80s doldrums - largely due to Italia 90. Never any problem getting a ticket for Arsenal or Spurs around that time either! Personally I’ve always had a thing for centre-backs, I even married one ☺️

Ha! I liked Ruud - and Vialli 😢 When I saw us beat you 3-2 away in 92, there was a crowd of under 17k - incredible how much football has changed since then. Crowds, ticket prices, wages!

Well now we go full circle as I worked for the YMCA for several years - and did a fair bit of research into how basketball originated with the Y!

Yes, have been there several times - horrific 7-0 stuffing last time but some FA Cup fun in 2018, and further back in the glory days have seen us put 3 past you on at least 2 occasions! ☺️

I keep reading about the importance of doing “heel drops” - for bone density, circulation as well as strength - there’s a machine at my gym that recreates that movement, you have the balls of your toes on it and push away and down - imagine that’s no help whatsoever 🤪

You’re absolutely not alone. I’ve booked a swim and the gym tomorrow to try to help - but also know sometimes the anxiety paralyses me so have no idea whether I’ll actually attend. For me it’s a combination of having a lot on, family responsibilities, dread of the global situation weighing on me.

A school friend has had a very successful career in the fashion industry, now MD of a successful and very cool clothing company. Every time I see any of her promptional posts I think about her eating a Double Decker like that (to the end of 6th form).

Totally agree (and my son always watches, so that’s one youth at least). And congratulations on your first week success!

Less than ten years ago, a waiter on holiday mistook my husband for Daniel Craig. At football this weekend, someone said he thought he was Michael Rosen (classy references at our non-league club). Gutted for the lad.

Been supporting them since 1985 when I went along with a nice lad from my halls at uni - reader, I married him (and we made two more Norwich fans). A fine city, a good club. Add them to your list - don’t think we’ll be in the Prem again for a while!

How many more examples do we need? Putting critical national infrastructure in private hands was always going to shaft taxpayers at the expense of a comparatively tiny cohort of shareholders. We knew this and we have decades of receipts to prove it. Enough.

Good man. We always do that - but am then ravaged with guilt for any cat that hasn’t been fed so it ends up bankrupting us.
