This is funny. Based on my true answers to the questions in quiz I could retrain as a cosmetic surgeon, a beauty therapist or an ornithologist....
Djokovic or Nadal? I don’t like either of them as they’re closing in on Roger’s record of slams. It’s not often I root for Djokovic but I am now to at least give Federer a tiny bit of breathing space....
This is horrible. I know there are worse things going on in the world. But students might not go home to see their families. They’re also being told not to socially mix with their fellow students. I...
Is anyone reading this/has read it? If so what do/did you think of it? I’m a big fan of Osman on tv, but if I’m honest I’m finding the book quite boring. It’s had good reviews and some big names...
I’m not a good maker of desserts. I’m OK at putting a decent dinner together, but my cakes are hopeless. Husband thought I can’t go wrong with an Eton Mess. So I’m going to try it. I’ve found a few...

Megalomania or a nice idea to raise money for charity?...
There’s a thread on Twitter about the above. Everyone finds it very funny but I haven’t a clue what it’s all about. Anyone know?

Just wondering if any ladies here can give me a word of advice. My GP has prescribed HRT for me but none of the local pharmacies has it in stock and can’t get it. Just wondering what to do. Have any...
There have been lots of stuff written by journalists and tweeters etc about the end of the ‘Book of Dreams’ - the Argos catalogue. [Faint sigh] I remember flicking through the pages as a child...
Today I had my roots touched up. While the dye was taking effect I was told to isolate in a little area surrounded by black screens. I was in there for an hour and starting to feel quite...
I’ve got some plums to use up. I’ve googled and found some recipes with loads of ingredients that I haven’t got and don’t want to buy. Has anyone got a very simple recipe that involves not much more...
I’ve got into playing cards online, thanks to Naomi’s mention of cardgames.io a while ago. While playing Hearts people often pop up the message ‘Play ja ja ding dong’. What does it mean? Googling only...
I’ve been reading a funny thread on Twitter where intelligent, book-loving adults realise they’ve been misreading or mispronouncing words. My favourite was the guy whose mum pronounced ‘unstable’ to...
Well, what a farce this is. The England team have supposedly been in a bio-secure bubble for weeks; not allowed to go home and see their families, but they’re expected to drive themselves from...
My mum used to cook whole lamb kidneys in bread rolls. I’d really like to try it myself. She’s no longer with us so I can’t ask her how to do it or for how long. Can’t find anything online. Anyone...
Just wondering if it’s something I should be doing. I don’t mean armpits. I mean your forearms. I’ve seen ads with women shaving them and wondered if I’m a bit of a freak because I don’t....
Watching Wimby highlights from years gone by, isn’t it great to see serve-volleyers coming to the net. Rather than the endless bludgeons of boring baseline rallies of the likes of Djokovic and Nadal....
The queue for the checkouts in my local supermarket has us hanging around the alcohol shelves, like chocolates and sweets were for children in the olden days (!) I wonder how many more bottles they’re...
