You can comfortably fit a trolley between the two cars. Marvellous.

Corner shop win

808 Upvotes

My local corner shop has a reputation for overcharging when you buy quite a few items, hoping that you don't/can't add it up mentally. I will admit they have caught me out a few times when I have my kid with me and I am in a rush.

Unfortunately, they are the only shop open within walking distance after 5pm most days. I am a single mum and I don't have a car.

I just nipped over there to grab some washing powder and milk and bread as I had run out unexpectedly.

I picked up a few other items like cat litter and a few snacks and drinks. My total came up to £27.85.

When the total amount came up on the card terminal it displayed £2.78. I happily tapped my card and walked out without a word.

That should pay me back for the 10 months I've been here where they have been robbing me blind.

Hamzah Albar, then 23, was walking to the shops when he saw Hudson attempting to carry out the horrific attack. The Saudi Arabian student tried to call the police on his phone, but the battery died, so he bravely decided to step in himself.

Watched the Minecraft film in the cinema and it wasn’t horrible

2 Upvotes

I had some vouchers for the odeon which made the tickets £4 each and thought not much money lost if I go to see it. Booked it a week in advance and since then have been hearing how horrible it is and how teenaged have been ruining the experience for others.

Went and the film was actually enjoyable. Don’t know if it helped that I’ve never played the game or really been involved in Minecraft before. The only noise was stereotypical kids noises such as eating and loud whispering. Overall a cheap, enjoyable day out.

Logging in for work only to be told you're on annual leave

2 Upvotes

I knew I had booked off Tuesday-Friday this week, and was annoyed when I logged in this morning at how busy it was, only for my team manager to tell me I was off the whole week.

I had looked at my annual leave list and I'm deffo meant to be working today, so screenshotting the messages from my manager telling me I'm off.

I fixed an adBlu fault on my car

3 Upvotes

Yep, it's true! I have a Mercedes GLE250, 6 years old and 118K on the clock. One day I got "can't measure adBlu level" fault followed by "112miles before car will not start" (or something like that). Summed all my corrage and bought a second hand tank. Whole lot of fussing around and a week later... It works now! I am chuffed to bits. No faults on the display, everything working fine.

How would Black people and white women reenact the idea of the forbidden lover, sexual frustration/ cuckolding fantasies without white men

0 Upvotes

So in the Black Planet scenario white men can’t be resurrected there’s also no visual or physical media of white men as there’s no internet or computers. How would they recreate the idea of sexually frustrating / cuckolding white men and the excitement of cheating on someone with someone from another race?

What’s the best way to get rid of working class women?

0 Upvotes

In fact all of them. Phoning the Police is an option. You can register with the police text service by texting 999. Here’s the link:

https://www.gagb.org.uk/emergency-sms.php#gsc.tab=0

Also when they leave make sure you have all your stuff, devices, phones etc still intact and not stolen. I’m fairly sure what they’re saying about you is not illegal compared to what they are doing.

Had a takeaway left outside my front door

4 Upvotes

Heard a knock at the door so shouted “thanks, I'll come round“. By the time I'd walked round from our side door to the front, the guy was driving off.

We had no idea who had left us a succulent Indian meal, but thanks anyway.

We'd both just got back from work and were just starting to prep a meal, so the timing was perfect!

British success!

Crows are nesting in the tree in the middle of our cul-de-sac, so the dendrophobic neighbours who want it cut down can suck an egg.

4 Upvotes

I'm so thrilled! They claim the tree is unstable, but it absolutely isn't. It's not lost so much as a twig in the big windstorms the last couple of years, even when people's roofs were coming off. We know they're really just put out because it blocks their sea view, but it's been there for 40 years, since the houses were built. They knew there was a tree when they bought here.

And the tree helps mitigate echoing noise between the terrace houses and provides shade as well as being beautiful. (It's a Norway Maple.) We're in Portsmouth, which already has too few trees. But it's only us and one other neighbour who haven't signed the petition to cut it down.

We got out in front by contacting the council before they did, so someone came out to evaluate it. We haven't heard anything since, but we need to update them about the crows. (And the crows chase away the pestiferous pigeons, so they serve more than one purpose.)

Why are working class women so obsessed about other people’s sexual orientation?

0 Upvotes

The problem isn’t being stumped at whether somebody is LGBTQ or not, it’s what they’re going to do with the information, how or why it affects them and why are they so interested in the first place.

Working class people are immature children in adult form but seem to have the upside down reputation of being heroes which has been gifted to them to make their life more bearable. It’s an addition to their life not a medal. Middle or upper class will face subtraction in reputation but like a lot of fiction the reality is different.

The best examples I can think of are Scottish vs English reputation. Many countries will favour the Scots as heroes, rogues and renegades until they meet both in real life. Idk why Scots are painted this way, their life is so inert, dull and repetitive it’s masochistic.

Working classes aren’t dissimilar to everyone else. Most conversation with new types of people will centre around deconstruction, just there’s is more petty. If they can figure out if a person has had a leg up in life, was born into money or is homosexual they can rest easy and go back to wallowing in the class system they simultaneously despise and celebrate.

Idk why but I keep having this vision of a women with glasses as the archetypal working class creep, I wonder what’s holding them back?

I was the first in my street to put the bin out AND it was the right colour!

4 Upvotes

I put them out last night - took a gamble as I never remember and normally take guidance from my neighbours.

The neighbours all put the same bin out as me (black bins) but I didn’t know if they were following my lead.

I waited to post this just after the bins were collected just to make sure. As I write this my bin has just been taken! Happy days!!!
