Has anybody fallen into watching an 'odd' (for want of a better word) tv program? Something a bit niche or left of field, but kept on watching?

how odd are we talking ? I find myself going through stages of binge watching random stuff like extreme couponers , and going into a rabbit hole of googling their life stories/where are they now . Or watching car related stuff even though I have absolutely no interest in cars

I can’t find any ice cube bags but I did find a stash of mr freeze ice pops in a cupboard I had forgotten about. They are however 4 years past there best by date , so I’ve folded a bunch in half , jammed them in between the ice build up and mystery foods, and hoped for the best

LOVE extreme couponers, I don't know why, especially when all the stuff they buy is shit, like gatorade and crackers most of the time, and I also feel awful for the checkout staff I watch laods of random mukbang stuff, and then google the menus they got the food from to see what I would eat (usually nothing as it is junk food I don't like )
I also love this youtube channel about a mortician https://www.youtube.com/c/AskAMortician

I seemed to watching secrets of the underground, I have no idea how or why it started, but I do realise it is odd.

I am also partial to the bad skin clinic, but somehow feel that is less odd.

I’ve just read your message @moglits I’m truly sorry for your loss
I don’t know if this will be a comfort to you but I’ve seen this poem shared quite a few times

Secrets of the underground sounds right up my street! I’m fascinated with the history of train networks and underground trains and stations, but I’d never heard of this, so thank you for mentioning it.

Antipodean frauen can have a warm treat instead but my weather app is now saying it's going to be 37 degrees here on Monday and 36 on Tuesday so I'm definitely going for the frozen option. I'm really starting to worry about Sideboard Cat overheating as she can't take her fur coat off and refuses to let me help her. I also have an (or perhaps not) irrational fear about my lighter exploding in my pocket.

Abandoned Engineering is the one. I don't like how they try and make it dramatic though. There was one I watched about an American ship full of tanks that had sunk near Ireland and the narrator was like 'but what could a ship full of American tanks be doing off the coast of Ireland?!' as if the second world war is a thing nobody's ever heard of.

it's nearly always the war, isn't it? "what's this huge abandoned secret bunker doing in the Austrian forest?? it was the nazis what done it!" I love it though

forecast 38 now for tuesday here - hottest I'll ever have been in. I always worry about my lighter too. I keep it in an empty packet till there's space in the new packet, which at least keeps it out of sunlight

Pip pip, Cabal!

not posted for a while, as eldest is having MH issues which we’re dealing with together. Very thankful for our family unit right now. If nothing else, we can talk to each other openly and without judgment (unless anyone goes anywhere near my fucking spicy sausage that I’ve hidden in the veg compartment in the fridge. Honestly, it should be safe ).

@moglits I was so incredibly sorry and touched to hear about your loss. You gave your dog the best life and were there at the end, and they’ll be waiting over the rainbow bridge for you, along with my gorgeous old moggy x

PS I’m rather liking the weather, but I’m a tropical Herr - I’ve stood my site staff down for the next 3 days. Far too hot and I’ll still honour their pay. They’re way too valuable to lose and I’m in a reasonably fortunate position. Someone came good for me when I was apprenticing, so the least I can do is pay it forward, as cheesy as it sounds.

Ha! How random. I was just there this week. They were lovely and sent my pregnant self away with lots of blood thinning injections (eep). Which is scary but at least they are thorough and likely saving my life

BBC now saying this for me on Monday (and Tuesday):



I'm going to the shop tomorrow to get some sun cream for the first time in my adult life. I'm reasonably dark skinned for a white guy, but 39 is pushing it a bit.

Good to hear from you, Billy! This may come across a bit corny, but it's honestly great that your family are all working together to support your eldest. That can make all the difference.

Not corny at all, and I thank you so much for the sentiment. It’s very much appreciated x

Yep, I’m fine as I’m very very dark skinned, but my kids are mixed race (Mrs. B is a v fair redhead), so they get plastered in factor 50. Can recommend P20 factor 50 spray if you have kids who need one application. It’s no good for children with very sensitive skin tho
