At the end of my in laws small 8mx8m garden is a freight train line, and honestly, you just don’t hear it anymore once you’re used to it.

My next door neighbour has a dog that just screams and wails all day. It sounds horiffic, but because it’s got food water and shelter and doing it in the day time when his owners are at work it’s ok (says the local authority).

As an autistic adult who successfully masks and is exhausted by conversation, about half of the interaction with my partner are sending memes back and forward because they get a feeling or point across in short format without loads of explanation.

It’s a very good communication format.

I work on websites and have carried out extensive user testing to get the right non-binary honorific, and it ended up being Mx.

Implemented it on every site I’ve worked on now.

It’s always fun to answer the door to JW when you’re a goth. They’re already in a state of panic before you’ve opened your mouth.

It’s clear you have never met a woman…

Also has a life because WOMEN CAN MULTITASK APPARENTLY.

From someone who once drank an ashtray on a pub bet, I’ve definitely drank some worse coffees.

I thought 500 quid seemed a bit light to be mending generational wealth accumulation.

This seems much more in line with what I would expect.

Note, I’m a statistician, but don’t do maths outside of 9-5 /s

Snap on asthma/heart/immune triad.

COVID sucked way more than I thought it would, people just don’t understand that some folks genuinelys till struggle with it. Hope you and pup feel better soon

It’s treating animals in a way that you wouldn’t treat humans because it’s wrong/illegal.

Keeping them as pets, breeding them, caging them (slavery)

Eating them, or using their products (cannibalism)

Wearing their skins (is there even a name for that?)

I came across it when I was young as a family member worked in animal activism and was horrified that I had a pet.

My old place was a cold, stone cottage and was a nightmare to keep heated.

The kitchen at one point was measuring 6°C and that was with the heating on in the winter.

We got out of there in December 2019 and I’m so glad we did, because with COVID, Brexit and the war, house prices went bananas, energy bills went through the roof and interest rates have increased massively.

We could never have afforded this place today. I really feel for young folks today, we bought our first home at 33 years old after years of saving and that was in the time of almost no interest - it would be impossible now.

Absolutely… someone at work was like, grab a coffee, see you in 5. Dude, it takes at least 15 minutes to make a coffee in this house.

I’ve got a £1000 espresso machine and that the cheap one. We also have all the pour over shite - scales, grinder, gooseneck kettle, Hario… It adds up quickly.

Sri Lankan chicken curry. Absolutely incredible meal.

Sounds like the one I quit in 2021

I’m autism diagnosed as an adult, but as the years pass I wonder if that’s really the issue or if it’s more likely to be ADHD.

There seems to be many overlapping features and mine are around poor social skills, feelings of being overwhelmed when plans change and long spells if decompression needed after doing almost anything.

I have high levels of empathy and have been a people leader for many years (highly rated) and I’m just not sure that autism is the right “sticker”.

Bufty.

Heard it frequently 20 years ago and now it’s dropped off the face of the planet as casual homophobia has become a bit less prevelant.

They drink in my local pub.

Jokes on you, I have an autoimmune disorder, so getting the cold puts me in bed for a week.

It’s a Fogarty duvet, absolute dream!
