- Comment on Happy birthday, peon 1 week ago:
I used to in a previous job. They brought in a thing where if your birthday fell on your usual shift day, you got it off at full pay.
- Comment on Uh. So how are the Maplin's in your area doing? 1 week ago:
Haha, okay, but they’re nothing special. I used to buy kits, but now I make them from scratch.
There are for my nieces. I’m currently making a game room for my mate, a full house and I’m thinking of making a mini vinyl shop too.
This was my first attempt at soldering too, as I couldn’t find any 3V LEDs prewired. Let’s just say it was an adventure, but it was worth it.
- Comment on Uh. So how are the Maplin's in your area doing? 1 week ago:
Yep, they’re great. I used them to buy some LEDs and battery holders for my miniatures.

That’s really great to hear!
- Comment on Vegan drink Oatly can’t call itself ‘milk’, judges rule 2 weeks ago:
Also, tinned coconut milk is actually labelled coconut milk just fine without a problem.
I wonder how many people might be be put off dairy, even if it’s just for a moment before putting it out their mind, if all dairy products were labelled mammary secretions.
- Comment on Good to see AAFES looking out for my health 2 weeks ago:
Awesome! Did it do what it said on the tin? Did you make the mental shift so that you didn’t want to smoke after? Or do you ever feel tempted?
- Comment on Good to see AAFES looking out for my health 2 weeks ago:
You might try Allen Carr’s easyway book, it’s meant to make you give up in a way that you don’t even want to smoke anymore, rather than fighting the urge. I’m a non smoker so I can’t give my personal experience on it. But it was recommended by some former smokers on the ukcasual community. I bought a used copy for a colleague, but I don’t work there anymore, so I’ll try to catch up with him sometime and find out how he went with it. I’m currently reading Carr’s other book, The Nicotine Conspiracy, and I’m finding it very interesting. (I have an ebook copy of his easyway book if you want it).

That’s okay. The GF actually stands for gayfriend.

Microwave for water?! I am going to spontaneously combust with rage, and you can use the heat to boil the water for your tea properly! 😡🥵🔥☕👍🏽

It’s not even innuendo, it’s just overt! “That’s what s/he said” comes up every five minutes!

Yep. Just watch any of Thunderfoot’s musk videos and you’ll see that clip featured at least once.
- Comment on This is you tomorrow 3 weeks ago:
That might be a bit awkward given I’m a woman!
It’s tricky, because I would feel worse if anyone asked if I was okay. I’m very much an introvert and would just reply with I’m fine, or just pretend to not have heard you. But other people might appreciate the offer of a tissue and a chat.

My therapist actually has blue hair though…
- Comment on This is you tomorrow 4 weeks ago:
Well, I mean, I didn’t do it on purpose. I prefer to go somewhere private if I need a good cry, but when that’s not an option, if I gotta let it out, I’m gonna let it out. I care less about strangers seeing me cry than people I know.
- Comment on Thanks for the warning I guess?? 4 weeks ago:
My android 6 tablet and my android 13 phone both do it when I have earphones in.
- Comment on This is you tomorrow 4 weeks ago:
You can get away with it in London. Source: experience.
You can cry on the tube and the bus, and the rule of “don’t make eye contact” means everyone just leaves you the heck alone and lets you get on with it it peace. I’ve twice cried while serving customers (after being bullied by a manager, two different jobs) and customers just try to get out of there. They might look at you a bit concerned but they mostly mind their own business.

What about blue whales?
- Comment on Solution for the Trolley Problem 4 weeks ago:
I knew, even as I wrote it, that a trolleybus was beneath their contempt.
- Comment on AAAAAHHHHH 4 weeks ago:
I used to buy mealworm for the garden birds, and I can confirm this warning is needed. I used to get told off by one bird if I took too long giving him his worms.

What if all the passengers were billionaires?
- Comment on Het Pijnstillersparadijs: Europese Zelfbeheersing vs. Amerikaanse Pillenfeest 5 weeks ago:
Depends, I guess. It does nothing for period pains with me, but when I burst my ear drum last month, it took the pain from excruciating to manageable.
- Comment on The g spot is in the ear canal 1 month ago:
I got my ears vacuumed the other day at the ENT clinic. Unfortunately I’m one of those people that gets a lot of wax build up. Copying the grown ups using cotton buds to clear the wax just meant I was constantly getting ear infections as a kid. As an adult, I’d get wax build up, I’d try olive oil as my GPs would always recommend, only that would make it clog up more and muffle my hearing. Then the only way to get that big plug of soggy wax out was either to fish it out with a bit of screwed up tissue or a cotton bud, or to blast it with the power shower to dislodge it.
I finally perforated my ear drum in September from an infection that went to the middle ear. Anyway, I got my ears vacuum cleaned on Thursday and was told by the ENT doctor to use a pharmaceutical grade olive oil spray (not drops) every day forever to stop the wax clogging. So let’s hope that works.
I think I was given peroxide based ear drops once when I was 12 or so, but it made my jaw swell so much I couldn’t even eat.
- Comment on Cycling will be more dangerous due to council clampdowns, say campaigners 1 month ago:
Yes! I was in Walthamstow last week and the difference between their cycle lanes and my area is like night and day. A proper delineated cycle lane, separate from both the road and the pavement. Compare that to my area where the cycle lanes abruptly cut off and are just a line of paint separating them from the pavement, therefore pedestrians walk all over it and I have to use the bus lane to cycle. Walthamstow is like cyclist heaven.

Man, that sounds rough. I hope you’re okay now. I suppose the rider got away?
Those delivery riders with their often illegal e-bikes are a scourge. They’re like that in London too. I’ve seen them on pavements with their throttle modded bikes, even though we have both a bus lane and a cycle lane.

I’ve been getting those warning emails for like two years, maybe more. Probably more actually. I just ignore them, my photos still work even if I don’t use them anymore.
