I went to Scarborough a few years ago with my ex who’s southern, he couldn’t understand a word anyone was saying.Once when I was walking away from a seafood stall, purchases in hands, a seagull dive bombed me and stole a load of my king prawns. I was not happy as they were ££ as well
Well, they haven't met Gullzilla yet, have they.
Those pancakes sound like they’d kill you but you’d die happyHave you been looking in my secret recipe notebook!?!
full disclosure- it wasn’t a banana bread recipe I subbed in yazoo for , it was banana pancakes. They tasted like a mildly chemical banana flavoured pancake. I ate them with foam bananas and marshmallow fluff because the recipe said to top with sliced bananas and a spoon of yogurt , and I didn’t have either of those . And yes, I still counted it as 1 of my 5 a day
For my tea tonight I had cucumber ribbons, chunks of watermelon, sweetcorn , diced peppers and baby mozzerella balls with a pesto dressing. With an ice cold peach tea topped up with lemonade . It was delicious and nutritious. My body has reacted to the sudden influx of veg after several beige carb days with heartburn and bloating
. We had to have our beautiful girl cat PTS on Christmas day a few years ago. I won't go into detail, I'm still not over it. I just hold on to the fact that I made the right decision and that, unfortunately, our pets rarely outlive us. So they know our love and complete comfort for the whole of their lives 
. And with the most adored rescues, they know that love too. Although we, as humans would like it to be longer, we shower them with love in their final years .omg
it actually happened!

You're right bubbly d. There is a weird vibe and it's making me feel uncomfortable. Despite my personal views I'm very much here for honest debate and reasoned argument but some of the stuff seems, I dunno, quite relentless but mainly unnecessary? There was always a respectful line that wasn't crossed but it now seems to be gone.
There was something a few weeks ago where someone pushed some really unnecessary strong opinions about who people can and cannot sleep with based on their binary views of (mostly female) sexual orientation. I haven’t seen that rear it’s ugly head again. That was rotten.
. Everyone’s so lovely and respectful, and Jack constantly says and does crappy things. I’ve been slightly ostracised on some other groups for questioning why we are taking offence at someone decorating their rented house nicely and calling it “home” (“they’re trying to make us think they own it!”), or being the ‘mum police’ re: every little parenting thing someone does. I was on the Lauren Goodger threads for a while and even though she’s pretty deplorable, the tone of the threads wasn’t my cup of tea. It’s a different world on the Jack threads That's what I love about being part of the cabal. If a poster goes too far or is inappropriate someone will respectfully point out that we don't do that on that thread. Yes, we take the piss out of her but we have boundaries. It's easy to get caught up in a mob mentality especially with someone as outrageous and provocative as Jack is.There was something a few weeks ago where someone pushed some really unnecessary strong opinions about who people can and cannot sleep with based on their binary views of (mostly female) sexual orientation.

I think sometimes new people come in with this misguided view that that’s what these threads are about, making judgey low blows and anonymous right wing hate comments. I think it helps if they lurk for a bit first and get the lay of the land before posting.
The Jack threads are such a nice place though, I think they ruined me for the rest of tattle
.
Morning! I would love to squish that floof
.
with a cup of tea . They've not been able to go up in the evenings as it's too hot so it was lovely to see it this morning .I lurk on the KP threads sometimes. Very different vibe. It seems better over there than it was, there was a lot of upsetting Gypsy hatred and racism at one point.
