I used to not pay too much attention to those sorts of crowdfunders, but Jack has made me wary of all of them (probably no bad thing). That said, 'airpods loser' never asked or suggested that a new pair be crowdfunded! It's a weird mentality that people read a post like that and think "I'll start a crowdfunder for this". I don't know why it makes me uncomfortable, but it does. Something something most deserving/charity/best use of funds. I dunno.there's some genuine well meaning people in that group, things can get messing like the group funding peoples credit card bills and airpods for some reason? (didn't understand that one) but Im sure it all comes from a good place.
I wonder if this is the same one who can be bang on/funny on some posts and then completely vile on others?!L
There are a few men (yes, always men) in that group who are insufferable. Always looking to pick holes or antagonise. There is one who is particularly bad but who I would have thought I'd have a lot in common with. He is certainly nowhere near as annoying on the Facebook group of a band we both like.
Completely agree. I'm so much more cynical about that kind of thing now, which is a shame as I'm sure most of it is innocent.there's some genuine well meaning people in that group, things can get messing like the group funding peoples credit card bills and airpods for some reason?

Yeah, this really worried me. I felt worried for the people emotionally invested in giving support. I felt worried for random people who weren't terminally online and would make an off-hand comment unaware of the wider context that caused a spiral. And I felt worried that the group really wasn't very good for them - it clearly was good day-to-day but in a longer term view... It all just felt a bit toxic and unhealthy.To be honest, when someone who is clearly unwell posts a lot about their illness and personal life on groups like that, it makes me feel uncomfortable for a few reasons. They may be given bad/unsafe advice (even if it is well-meaning). They may also become too dependent on the group as an outlet/counselling service - what happens when the group can't be there for them or inevitably give them the help/advice they need? They may also share information that should not be public or could be triggering. And what about if they allude to something like self-harm? What does the group do then? It's a minefield. That's why I tend to stay well away from any posts of that nature.
Hahahahah do you think?! They are very close... I know people raised it on FB and got shot down by the ethics police but I think it's ok to discuss here - I assume they're not on TattleOn topic: John is absolutely, definitely, without a shadow of a doubt shagging Lou Sanders, right?
It does seem that way. John's love life worries my mum and she's not even a PCD.On topic: John is absolutely, definitely, without a shadow of a doubt shagging Lou Sanders, right?
I think John has actually stopped drinking completely for the mo, he's been 'sans cans' for a couple of months on TMUW.Have you seen this? It's so funny (note how much they've had to drink at the beginning of the clip!! I think John has stopped drinking rum now?):
We'll know about it if they are on here, that's for sure! I'm absolutely convinced they are... just from the way he's phrased things on the podHahahahah do you think?! They are very close... I know people raised it on FB and got shot down by the ethics police but I think it's ok to discuss here - I assume they're not on Tattle
I always thought Coco was an odd match.On topic: John is absolutely, definitely, without a shadow of a doubt shagging Lou Sanders, right?
When I saw pics of them I always wondered what conversations they’d had about his outfit choice before they left the houseI always thought Coco was an odd match.
Those isolation tapes are some of the best podcasts ever made. Are they still a good listen 'post' covid?Oh Lordy, I had a dream I asked JR out last night(he was non-committal, lol).
Probably because of this chat, and then listening to an old ep to get to sleep. It was one of the isolation tapes - Elis is talking about r-rates and whether or not it was safe for the childminder to have the kids while he went to work. So strange listening to it - it felt like I'd gone back in time. I forget how grim it was at times. I genuinely think they made it a little easier with their extra episodes, though!
Yes absolutely@DinoCharge you might like it here. Our very own skip, some might say.

Thank you! As soon as I have caught up on the Other Thread I shall hop over here for a wee read x@DinoCharge you might like it here. Our very own skip, some might say.

It makes me laugh listening to old ones- Prod D sounds so much more exhausted pre-kids than he did after kids. He always sounds completed knackered, was obviously hitting it hard!I think it’s super interesting how it’s changed over the years. I like the xfm ones but John seems to over use the word ‘probably’ and pronounces it ‘probly’ which sets My teeth on edgeI
