Ah. A clarification: I was walking about innocent people (who get told by the police that the caution will just wrap up the current matter and never come up again). Guilty people should seek legal advice.

PSA: never agree to police cautions. They're like mini convictions which will get brought up if, for example, you are a witness in a court case. Experience from a family member there.

Because she pays extortionate amounts for slippers and doesn't check her basket? The family should probably be telling her that.

You seemed to have got off lightly. In my experience, spectacular untidyness and lack of respect for other people's equipment was the norm for hall kitchens. I solved it by keeping my gear and a minifridge in my room. I *wish* I merely had to dance around other people's things.

I am today years old.

I know exactly what scene you mean. I saw it on mute on my bedroom tv as a child and had no idea what film it was from (or that it was rape). It comes to mind several times a year and now I feel I have closed some sort of chapter.

How big was your village so that your own toilet was of no use?

Speaking as the partner of someone who still has no closure of what happened to their cat 15 years ago: Always at least make sure the owner knows it's dead, even if you aren't brave/secure enough to be honest about how.

It's always worth flapping your gums just to check small shit like this, just in case.

It'll be interesting if you die unexpectedly and she decides she needs to sell it for the capital. You immediately become a lying bastard in her heart forever.

I'd have told him to get a proper console/PC and stop limiting himself to games you get on your phone. There's some proper experiences to be had in games that don't rely on Skinnerish dopamine hits.

I'm sure it'll shorten to Biscuits before too long. Great nickname.

Sorry, it was like that when we moved in and we can't afford to just buy a new door.

Yep. It's not even "Artificial Intelligence" they're pushing; it's just advanced statistical computation. You ask an "AI" to pull all the nouns out of a wikipedia article and put them in alphabetical order and it can't do it because it doesn't understand. It's not intelligent.

Are you sure it wasn't on the Granada Studios tour?

Hop on the bus, Gus.

If they wanted to go faster than you on a motorway then they would just overtake you, so they must just think it's a comfortable distance. When you slow down they would just overtake you and carry on their day not thinking anything remarkable had happened and not looking at you twice 🤷‍♂️
