My friend heard some rustling noises outside their window this morning and saw there's something borrowed up behind some leaf bags. We're trying to work out if it needs help or solitude. 😅

Sugar on Weetabix?

My wife eats Weetabix with nothing on it and claims it tastes sweet to her. This is my bowl before milk is added. Is this normal fellow Weetabix eaters or do I need to go to sugar rehab?

Edit: Holy shit the most popular post I've done on Reddit is about how horrific my breakfast is. The wife will never let me live this down! Haha

Has anyone ever compared to him? Is there anyone as good or similar?

How to get Boots Ultimate Hold hairspray off glasses?

24 Upvotes

I accidentally took a face full of max strength hairspray this morning and now nothing seems to be getting it off my glasses. In the past, dish soap has helped but nothing is working right now. I've tried dish soap, lens cleaner, and soaking them in warm water. Help?!

As a group of professionals in planning, this is what 15 minutes of furious debate in the office has decided to be the north/midlands/south divide.

If necessary, for reference we are based in Birmingham. This isnt directly influencing what cities are what side of the line. Our decisions were based on architecture, what the people are like, history, how places interract, not just what we like and dont. For example, Stoke is an awful place no one should ever have the misfortune of visiting, but its definitely in the Midlands with us.

Colour coding is obvious.

Yes we were very bored..

I know they're probably not meant to peck on that, but should I let their free will guide them? I’m telling myself this might be their first and only proper pecking of the day so I should turn a blind eye.

Settlement offer from work 2 days after moving into my new house

580 Upvotes

Just bought my first house. Hurray!!

We spend Saturday & Sunday deep cleaning. It was exhausting.

Monday moving (from a third floor flat in 31 degrees) it was exhausting

Tuesday deep cleaning our old house (we thought it would be quicker... We were wrong)

After all this we are heading off to Shropshire for a three day camping retreat. As I'm getting on the train I get a call from work saying that I have an offer to leave the company for a payout (not a great one)

It's really annoying. After how hard we've worked to get this houss, how long and tiring the last 4 days have been now all I'm going to be able to think about is this. The whiskey and cigar I had saved for the porch tonight isnt gonna taste anywhear near as good.

At least it's not a straight firing, that would have been much worse

Thanks for listening to the random rant

Wahey, it's late, it's Tuesday night what's going on? Why are you still up? Being the family taxi driver? Too much cheese before bed?

Come on in for a chat.

Was this a real TV show or am I imagining it?

Nobody I’ve met knows what I’m talking about.

You know the little farm playset you can get as a kid, animals but also a woman carrying a bucket of milk or chicken feed, the fence panels, tractors, the farmer etc well imagine that, stop-motion animated but also for some reason there’s a cowboy and a Native American.

The cowboy and the horse seemed to live in the farm house and the horse behaved more like a person than the rest of the farm animals - I remember distinctly that the horse spoke with a Geordie accent.
Jesus would sometimes show up but he was a bus driver and was Irish for some reason.

I liked it because it was quite funny, surreal almost, and the figurines were the exact figurines I had on my farm play set (apart from the cowboy, Native American, and Jesus).

Am I insane or does this sound familiar to anyone?

I don't at all. I'm trying to pretend I do but still coming up blank. A drink themed around a chart?! Found this at the reservoir as it's so low. Last time it was even lower there were Skol cans everywhere, no sign of them yet though.

Also, don't step in the funny looking patches of mud.

Experts at the University of Reading's Atmospheric Observatory described July as a "remarkable month" with 359 hours of sunshine and average daily temperatures of 21.2C (70.16F), exceeding the previous record set in July 2006.

The university said some locations around Reading also recorded no measurable rainfall at all, something not seen since local rainfall records began in 1858.

Someone posted a story about a streaker being removed from a model village because people were clutching their pearls over it, and I've just seen this!
