What an utterly cunty thing to say. Just completely unnecessary. Possibly just badly worded, but it REALLY comes off badly.

(Do call handlers wear epaulettes?)

I think she may have meant she wouldn't be cook extraordinaire, best selling author, and saviour of the working classes etc. If it wasn't for her son.

Station Eleven is next on my list!! Well. After I finish this shitty one I got on Kindle Unlimited (it's like Divergent meets a caste system. It's dumb.)

Station Eleven is so good. I loved it. They’re making a tv adap of it (of course)

Ooh I loved the Divergent series.

[help i need some help!]

Yes ...

Much obliged.

To be fair my username is a bit of a giveaway. I don’t live in Motherwell but it’s the nearest town to me that non Scots know.

When I say where I’m from it’s like where?

So Motherwell it is.

I used to live in Hamilton a while back which is in the general area (Not a fellow Scot but lived there for a few years)...

I know what you mean by the where? My stock explanation of where I am from is "you know where Wales is? Well The lump that juts out the opposite side of the map on the east of England it there!"

@Readingismyhobby the other thing to do is Google the model, name and problem?

But at 16 it may be terminal:-(

 

[veryfondoftea]

Always babe. Mine too, love a post-apocalyptic fable! Hit me.

A second yes from me too please!

And the name on that card was Trevor.

There’s only one Trevor Carson

As the football chant goes.

Can anyone help with my oven problem?

Potentially the heating element/thermostat??

Because I am technically inept, I can I work out how to do links, but if you search for Jack Monroe mp and Southend Echo the1 May 2017 issue has interesting comments.

 

[elepal]

I think they do.
But what in God's name is she doing to her epaulettes that they need ironing?! Bet she travelled to and from work displaying them in the hope that people would assume she was a firefighter.

 

[skronkywildcat]

Haha. Yes, that's very familiar. I do it mid-sentence sometimes, because apparently some words/phrases need to be said in certain way according to my subconscious. I cringe inwardly every time I catch myself doing that particular trick.

If I think about my accent it goes one way or the other - either exaggerated S London or too RP. I guess normally it’s somewhere in the middle (with a lot of swearing). I had a posh primary school then very rough comp where I had to shed the perceived poshness Quick Smart.

Juniper is amazing, not just because of gin. And caraway is underrated by many, glad to see a fellow lover of it exists *fist bump *

Oh I love caraway seeds in one of my favourite Hungarian ghoulash recipe

 

[Into_the_tunnel]

@Into_the_tunnel snap!

You have written about this far more eloquently than me. I blame lack of sleep due to the students keeping me awake again.

 

[Motherwellgirl]

She was training to be a firefighter when she fell pregnant yes?

Possibly unfulfilled ambitions.

I don’t think she’s ashamed of it.

When I was 21 I was at uni. Living at home and my grant back in the day was 30 quid a week.

Don’t get me wrong I loved it. But there’s no shame in earning what she did at that age.

 

[panda_eyes]

Stuck a 5G thingymabob on my mast, didn’t I? Multitasking.

So has Jack gone to bed, dare we hope?

 

[Keegan]

Fucking YES. Thank you!
Are these recs for me or my son? Or both ? Apart from the gate to women’s country?

I tbink all but the Gate to Women's Country are appropriate for your son!
Some are YA, some aren't, but they are all amazing imho (I'm 32)

The apples are ripe,
The plums are red,
The pistachios are sweating in the fancy Smeg

(Was it just my school that sang that song? )

Tune!! Love that one

 

[antisocialmedia]

She’s like a chameleon, adapting her skin colour to whatever suits the situation

Like Meghan Pissing Markle! Are those two twats in cahoots?
