This reminds me of that era where women were getting randomly attacked by other women in Shoreditch, does anyone else remember that? I used to go there for food with friends but stopped cos cba. I donāt think they were even robbing them just attacking? Gonna Google if they ever found out who they were and why!Isn't it so funny how we all have ideas about each other that are sometimes totally wrong?
Off topic totally (but this is the thread for jt I guess) I remember watching fight club at about 14 and really wanting to get in a fight (never have and realistically now I don't think j want to) has anyone been in one?

Iāve had two times where Iāve been worried Iād have someone hurt me I guess and started to think omg what am I gonna do but thankfully both were fine. Once I was 99.9% sure a woman on the tube was gonna try and rob me and the other time was a truly terrifying Uber who was saying the weirdest tit where I thought Iād have to kick him if he stopped the car. The latter was aaawful I didnāt get Ubers for years after.
Only just catching up now but @EllaEm87 what a wretched thing, I'm sending you all my love. You're not unloveable, and what's for you'll not go past you 
I think it's better now, but in the early days of Uber, there were some right weirdos kicking about Edinburgh as drivers. Used to really creep me out, I dread to think what they were like with the students.
Omg in the pandemic (or possibly even before? What is time anymore) we got into watching Hollyoaks loool it really draws you in with just how insanely dramatic it is? Like I know eastenders and Corrie have had their murderers but none of them were meeting in coffee shops in the middle of the day to have a blazing row about their crimes, or conducting so many affairs. I think it was a cyber crime storyline that got us hooked it was so ridiculous lol.
It being just before ch4 news was the gateway drug as weād end up catching the last 5 and thinking wtaf is going on here and before you know it youāre catching the whole episodecouldnāt have it on now LO is in a repeating everything she hears era imagine what an ott villain sheād become
i don't even watch hollyoaks, its just the greatest clip ever! i actually have beef with hollyoaks cos an ex of mine went out with sarah dunn (mandy) before me, so i stopped watching in about 2001 out of spite
Tonight I'll be attempting to get down a delicious beef curry that Mr Beacon has made. Am still feeling awful though managed to get some paxlovid because I am clinically vulnerable. Yay for the NHS!
Iām a fighter, not a loverIsn't it so funny how we all have ideas about each other that are sometimes totally wrong?

I think I stopped fighting when I got my arse kicked, but I had a bit of a phase!
I used to get into fights a lot as a young teen but generally only if I couldnāt talk my way out of it. That said, my smart mouth probably got me in as many fights as it let me avoid so swings and roundabouts
my sliders are a bit disappointing.I should have smashed them flatter , and maybe seasoned them better ( or at all, I might have forgotten) because the ratio of meat to bread to toppings is off. I do have a can of American style easy cheez which I might have to break out to see if itās chemically goodness they are missing.
i go through stages of Hollyoaks because sometimes between the ridiculous murder plots, huge disasters and cringy comedy moments , there is some genuinely touching bits . A friend of a friend was in it for a bit too so I felt I had to watch it then, even if I thought her storyline was a bit ridiculous.

oh and wrt how ppl perceive us, i will never forget on a school trip to france when i was 14, one girl said to me, "you know, when I heard i was sharing a room with you, i felt physically sick. but you're all right really"
thanks luv
thanks luv

I think this was like 2014/5 so not super early but not far off? And YEP re students!!! I think thatās exactly why this had happened - Iād been picked up from a friendās flat at 1am near QMUL and right by a pub which is probably why he took the job, I also feel like back then we had photos on our Uber accounts? Like if youād logged in with Facebook it had your fb photo which doesnāt feel gr8 now but from that heād have known I was young-ish I suppose? So when Uber contacted me - as back then there was no contact for them, funnily a friend in the US who was the only person I knew awake (then fiancĆ© wasnāt in the country which was further awful on top of this awful) called them there so I was speaking with an American customer service person who some how had called the police the police got in touch with me and said that they worry about the intentions of someone in that area where students drink so had put out a call to stop him. Like thank god I hadnāt been drinking and didnāt drink by that point, I was only at my friendās house for so long helping her with a spreadsheet for her business (lol) and eating a huge omelette with chips. But heād started the convo asking all about my evening which was like whatevs normal but then he explicitly asked about drinking which was the first red flag and it rapidly went downhill. Awful awful awful thank god for whatever higher power got me out safely.
But with that situ the police actually told me itās safer for women to get the tube at night than cabs which was probably why I went on the Uber break for such a long time! The tit thing then is the walk from the station back to ur house esp if youāre in non gentrified ends.
sorry for the huge me rail and story time but yikes at what tit we as women are still going through

Iām going to try and make Turkish lentil soup, Iāve peeled and chopped a carrot so today or tomorrowā¦

That sounds terrifying @heretoreaditall2019
I remember several years back getting a cab driver to drop me outside my local Sainsbury's because I knew they had exterior cameras and I didn't want him coming near my house. Luckily he stopped and then he specifically asked that I not mention how weird he had been to the cab company because he had to 'make a living'. Of course I ignored him and reported it. Like no I don't need to talk to you about if I have a boyfriend or not you bleeping creep.
I remember walking home several times because taking my chances down the still fairly busy, if full of drunks, prom seemed safer than getting in a cab.
Yes!! Good on you for saying something - women are socialised to be agreeable and compliant and to ignore our gut instinct. People whoāve narrowly escaped serial offenders have described having a gut feeling that they listened to early and bolted and that was their saving grace!
My overriding late night memory of the prom is the time I was snogging my then-boyfriend (a local) and his tooth fell out into my mouth.
There was blood.
It was grim.

I have seen some sights on the prom. People of both genders half (or more) naked, people having sex, fights, every costume you can imagineā¦ never someoneās tooth falling out in someone elseās mouth though!
Oh horrible creepy cab drivers 
. Luckily I only had one who used to keep asking me out. I was so tit at everything that I kept forgetting which cab number was him and heād turn up all creepy and not understand the word ānoā. Then Iād get drunk and oversleep and have to get a cab again to not be late and scrabble around for a card, think āthis oneās surely not him againā and Leo and behold there heād be. At least he never touched me.

I reported him, but was told āheās hired for his driving skills not his customer skillsā.

Well, yes, actually.
TW family stuff
I have two older brothers and things got a bit smashing at times, which is simultaneously funny and sad, because our father liked to swing his fists or belt around, and obviously we had some dodgy family modelling. Further, once I accompanied my father to spend time with my uncle/his brother and cousins. In a Saturday night, uncle went wild with the drink, lunged at my father as if to strangle him and I stepped in with a flying fist.
These stories are not good, but everyone's okay. Or dead, in the case of father and uncle, but not my fault, I assure you.

Liverpool used to (bet it still does!) have a pretty strong culture of girls fighting at school. I never got into one of those, Iām not an idiot! I like my hair and earrings attached to me, tyvm. Iām too much of a middle-class wanker to be fighting.
A few weeks ago I was on a bus and some school kids were sitting behind chatting. I understood they had both been on detention. They started slagging off their teacher. Well, the woman sat by me turned round and had a word - she was that teacher, and she said she was emailing the Head of Year about them!
I typed a message to her on my phone and nudged her ātell them theyāre in uniform representing the schoolā and she did! Sorry kids, you shouldnāt have stared on about her mum!
the passive-agreesive is mightier than the fist, is the moral of this tale.

Jumping in, sorry.ā¦.
Evening(!) all! Iāve just been for a night out (I really didnāt want to go but it turned out ok), and there was a few times I almost mentioned here. I wanted to say things like, āoh my friend in Australiaā, āmy friend really likes Taylorā, or āoh my mates eat Dreamies all the timeā and many other things.
My point is, you are all so lovely (even if my random examples arenāt about you specifically), that I think of you guys the same as like think of real life friends.
I REALLY like this corner of the internet.
ETA omg get well soon @MavisBeacon x
