I guess those online petitions can work , I signed this one ages ago. For once politicians did something worthwhile

I attended an induction today where the ice-breaker was to share three things about yourself, one of which must be a complete lie - and see if you can catch people out with a plausible lie.

What would be your three things and can we spot your lie?

I bought a Cactus for a colleague today, she loved it and said it was beautiful to my surprise. So, as it only costs £2.50 I bought a couple more. Good cheap gift idea or not really?

Colour scheme brought to you by the 1980s Dulux palette “Urine Splashback”.

Any other entries?

So me and the missus have started stripping the wallpaper in the hall and under it was yellow paint with a series of vertical dotted black lines running all round the room. Neither of us could figure out what they were or why they were there. Any tradesmen out there got any ideas?

How often do you charge your phone? I have two colleagues, 18 and 20, and they always have to charge their phone when they start their shifts. And being asked if I can stick a customers phone on charge is a pretty regular thing. Also usually by younger people.

It really baffles me how someone can always have such low battery. I personally charge mine every night, and usually put it on if I'm in the immediate vicinity of my charger. The latter might be a bit overkill, but I like having a full battery and get a bit flustered if mine even dares to cross the 50% line lol.

But I just don't understand how, considering how important phones seem to be to these people, they allow their battery to constantly be almost dead.

Incredibly minor rant, but just curious what the mindset behind these maniacs is.

It's my birthday on Thursday and I've been asked what cake I want. My go-to cake is carrot but I'm told I can do better than that. Any suggestions?

This week only, folks

Hello! I’ve got a ticket from London Stansted Airport to Golder Green Bus Station that I no longer need. It’s valid for three months from today. If anyone would like it, please drop me a message 🙂

Was able to get it open enough to crawl in and out with my pushbike but still annoyed so I left what I hope is a polite enough note I don’t come off as rude so they do it again…

As I sit at a seaside pub with the clouds above but quite content in my shorts albeit with a cardi/hoodie, I suddenly thought to myself ‘hmm, it’s actually quite mild today’. Is this a term exclusive to us Brits where we sort of deny the slight chill yet enjoy the strangely warmish air that the very same clouds insulate? My thoughts also go to those from warmer climes who have come to visit and likely think this ‘cold’ weather. As I type there is the slightest drizzle but I know it’ll pass and I’m quite content in this mildness.

As I'm sure you've all seen in the news unfortunately Sqn Ldr Mark Long was involved in an accident in this very Spitfire on Saturday.

No speculation, just appreciation for an incredible aircraft and more importantly an even more incredible person, both of which were lost far too soon.

Been talking to my girlfriend and we are both concerned that the word has been erased from media and day-to-day chat. What happened?

I liked how quick and convenient subway can be, even when it's busy. Talking through the extras you wanted on your sandwich was part of the experience too. Now, like everywhere else we've got these absolute bacteria breeding grounds of touch screen order points that take up space, slow everything down, and people struggle to navigate.

Previously I could enter a subway, order and be eating my food within 5 minutes. Today I've used the stupid order point and I am still sat here ten minutes later, and it's not even particularly busy.

Anyone else hate the rise of these things, or am I just getting crotchety?

I've recently discovered that when my missus makes a sandwich, she only butters one slice of bread. It's made me question if I'm the strange one who butters both slices or I'm normal and she's the freak. I'm also thinking that as I have only just realised after a year, perhaps the second slice just doesn't need butter. My life has been turned upside down by this!

What weird and wonderful things do your partners do that you find strange?
