That thing is probably covered in dirt and grimeHow can that happen?
Is this thing for preventing this event (in German "Überlaufschutz") not standard in the UK? (see attached picture)
Or is their sink so muddy, that it doesn't work anymore?
And: @gossip_guy I loved the GIF with the girl clinging on the tree in the flood.
(also thank you, I learned a new German word today!)
why did I read roomba as bunda and I was sat here so confused about
A) where Rubys mum learned the word bunda
B) Why and how she set it off downstairs
Same here...I had to re read that entire paragraph because I also thought Roomba meant ruby and was very confused as to why she was talking about her daughter like that
Bunda means ass, right?
I know it is very, very off-topic, but, can anyone give me Netflix web series recommendations?

Ruby's mother is one of those women who used to read "Bridget Jones' diary" when it was serialised in "the Telegraph" back in the 90s. She decided there and then that being hapless would give her a quirk that would compensate for her wallpaper personality. She inflicted this sort of wrong brain slow think on her children - "wear a bonnet and go up a chimney, darling, that'll make you interesting."
I think she just could not understand the books when the plots are out touch of her experience... We all have difficulties to truely and throughly understand the complex plots and writers' complex feelings and experienes when they are too far away from our lives, but at least we get some kinds of sense from the writing and at least least know to show respect to the writers. But I think roobee just could not understand these books at all and feel too shamed to admit it and then just concludes that she doesn't like those books or feel disappointed about those books. Given her boring but wealthy and cozzzy life, she just does not understand other people's life and luckily she does not even give a tit at all haha. I just feel so surprised to see how a person's life and thoughts can be so irrelevent to what's going on in the world, the real modern world, not the victorian history. And her book review about the Art of War just accurately shows her arrogence and ignorance. And she's definitely not looking for true knowledges or sparks of thoughts when reading books. She is just looking for her middle-class values and thoughts and got obsessed with the description of the middle-class cottage life.
If this is the same t-shirt she wore when she was 14 (that still fits her at age 20) she needs to ask some questions.
To be honest I'm 22 and I still wear plenty of stuff I wore when I was 14 or even younger lol
It does baffle me occasionally how we get through so many threads discussing a family so boring...
Cathy is definitely the Blakeney to Clare's Ruby.

well since Roobmas doesn’t really work anymore, Roomba would make a good new nickname wouldn’t it?
Ruby’s mother is one of those people that buys those god-awful plaques in tat-shops that say things like ‘dull women have immaculate houses’, and who uses that as evidence that because the house is so messy, she must therefore be interesting.
I’m not trying to shame anyone here because I know there are genuine and often very sad reasons why a person’s living space might not be clean or tidy, but in this case I just think it’s laziness and cultivated incompetence. It just seems so sad (and disrespectful, somehow) that the family simply cba to look after their million-pound house, even down to not mopping up a flood and just hoping that it’ll ‘evaporate’. It also annoys me that when wealthy people live like this, it’s seen as charming and eccentric, and something to giggle and write a blog post about but if someone in a council house just left water pooling on the floor they’d be judged much more harshly. It does such a disservice to your kids too, to let them grow up not really knowing the basics of how to take care of themselves and their surroundings.
We need some more drama coming up, I noticed that she recently re followed the holocaust memorial charity… the day is coming up, wonder if she’s planning to take some more money off them in return for a promotion
I wonder if Ruby's mum knows that most of her blog post views are from exasperated Tattlers who think her and her family are a mess
Exeter term starts on Monday, let’s speculate!
Is she finished with her Dickens essay?
Is she actually taking the children’s lit module, or has she switched to whatever Blakeney is taking? (I mean Blakeney could be taking that as well, I have no idea)
Does she have a dissertation topic yet?
Is she going to actually stay in Exeter? Even if they switch to remote learning?
Above all, are we getting a new video in 13 minutes?

I have tried to think of a caption, but nothing is more hilarious than the post itself.
Wow, what a phase that girl had.
“as a dental hygiene enthusiast”… she literally said that in a video! Having clean teeth is a personality trait, apparently
Was the “I like dental hygiene because Hermione’s parents are dentists” the weirdest part of her Hermione obsession, or is there something stranger I’m forgetting?
Ruby is the Wonderland System of Tattle, because every day we reveal more weird stuff and lies. I've been here since thread #5, probably will see thread #50.
I initally thought Roomba was meant to be 'Rumba' and she was talking about playing music to welcome her guests.
I love Roomba as a nickname for Ruby btw.
