Roseanne made a comeback a couple of years ago and it was still a funny series but then the actress/writer shot her mouth off on twitter and the TV channel dropped her like a hot potato. They made a spin off series called "The Conners" and killed her off.

I grew up in a small village and we had all kinds of vans come around, usually once a week - fish and chips, fruit and veg, video, library, general shop produce, meat, ice cream and also the coal man would deliver sacks of coal in a lorry.

I wanted to be the character harmony from queens nose and I wished that my name was that name she was very beautiful the girl who played her lol.
Harmony and Melody!

Where do you get your root beer and what brand is it? I grew up in North America where many brands were available. I miss it. I have found a canned version in Sainsburys, but it’s not very good imho.

Was anyone else obsessed with decorative stick on “bindis” as a child? I remember buying them off the rotating display in the Post Office. Clearly nobody had ever heard the term cultural appropriation A bindi on my forehead and Chinese fake tattoos, gorgeous combination!
