It’s a cold and it’s a broken “cowabunga”

cashier: can take your order?

me: [spent the entire time in line rehearsing for this moment] yes, one pleaseburger cheese :)

Would anybody be interested in reading my little reviews of museums, and touristy things?

She's correct. Those are EXCELLENT earrings

Not my usual thing on here, but I got cross and wrote something and I thought I should share it

"I want a president who doesn't make bizarre verbal gaffes all the time" well buddy I have some good news about how difficult your decision this November is going to be

BBC headline that says 'Should more British homes be built using straw?'

Did a... did a wolf write this?

It's an epidemic.

No word of a lie, I was on the players' coach on the way to a rugby match. We stopped at a services, next thing I know they're taking a group selfie in which ALL THIRTY OF THEM are adorned with paper crowns

In a different millennium, I worked in car insurance covering the Pennines, and one winter we suddenly had a huge spike of cars hitting sheep, and it turned out that one council switched from salt to a salt/molasses mix, which the sheep thought was delicious, so they crowded the roads to eat it.

News sites should ask what year you got your first job. Then all starter salaries mentioned should be followed, in brackets, by an inflation-adjusted equivalent in that year.

"Junior doctors start on £28,000 (roughly equivalent to £16,000 in 2001)"

People underestimate the impact of inflation.

Awkward looking up "The Traitors" on this app because it's full of Americans talking about attempted coups etc when actually I just want to talk about what a sneaky man that Paul off the telly is

I'm really looking forward to this!

Yes.

Not yet but 🙏🙏🙏

Collecting them like pokemon cards

Ahhhhhhhh, that makes sense!

Photo of me in full choir dress (when I get that far) as my main Bumble pic, y/n

It seems I mostly come on here to have feelings about church, and I'm not sorry about it

A little church highlight this week: getting aggressively enthusiastically recruited to the choir by what I can only describe as a gang of choristers, during coffee after midweek Eucharist

Wait, it means something other than that?

I initially read this as Golden Scrans and it's given me an idea for a very niche cafe north of the border

It's been a while since I read The Power, and I'd almost forgotten how good a writer @naomialderman.bsky.social is. But OOOOOFFF. The Future is painfully brilliant.

More strudel, Herr Dettweiler?

I'm also enjoying Sabbath as Resistance by Walter Brueggemann (admittedly I am about halfway through, so it might all unravel, but it is very good and very thought provoking so far)

Ooh yes! Thank you again!

EXCELLENT, I think this mightve been one someone else recommended to me a while back, but I couldn't remember the name of it!

Thank you! Will add them both to the list
