Every night while I'm cooking the dog waits patiently in the kitchen door with a toy, so we can play when I've finished

None ever has so far, but I'm really dreading David Attenborough

I don't think I've ever seen a film that has a bigger discrepency in audience ratings between different movie sites

It also annoys me that they stack shipping costs, rather than just going with the most expensive

... although it seems I have prevariated too long for either 😢

I have made bread. I feel like a medievalist

It's rare that I'm making lunch just for myself, but I always treat myself to the same thing

If there are any Werewolves in Victoria Park, I've stopped briefly to take a photo

I paid for next day delivery you useless fuckwits. Now to enter a protracted, multi-month complaints process with countless dead ends in order to secure a £2 delivery fee refund.

I got almost all the answers to the book titles on the Big Potato jigsaw puzzle quiz. There were four that defeated me and I just gave in and checked the answers. Three of them were reasonable: this one wanted me to throw the puzzle out of the window in outrage.

Absolutely would. Sadly all the chip shops around me are run by snivelling cowards

/r/ukmonarchs are currently running a daily thread on the worst thing done by every British monarch, and I'm losing it at their summary pictures

I repurposed Jerusalem as a Dredd-obsessed teen and I had completely forgotten until it just popped into my head again just now for no apparent reason

Had to buy There And Back Again after someone commissioned me to cover it, as it's out of stock at wholesale. Good excuse to buy an older game I've long wanted to play that no-one is going to commission me to write about for the free shipping threshold

According to the GW paint app this flesh tone and that backpack shade are the same.

I don't remotely believe this is the case.

Anyone have any experience painting this kind of inflamed skin tone?

Okay so this is crazy. Reddit thread where people are collecting similar but not identical marking systems from British pubs. No one seems to know what they're for and now I absolutely need to know. There's a potential PhD thesis in this, surely
