Seat68 Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 My brother in law once tried to embarrass me over Coldplay once. He posted on social media and tagged me about how I used to love Coldplay. Which patently wasn’t true. I saw them at a festival once, had their fierce panda single and bought their debut album. This was seemingly a demonstration of love for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decided it needed a bit of a refresh. Went to buy a tin of magnolia for the touchup job. Can't get it anywhere. It was like the Monty Python cheese shop sketch.

It should be a crisp, fresh white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turvontour Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 From January, we will need to pay £340 per month to have our two sons attend the afterschool club for an hour each school day. So £4k per year! I've got absolutely no idea now how people are able to afford to send a child or children to nursery right now it must cost about £800-900 per month per child? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many times I’ve wanted to buy tickets for various events and have been hunting around for someone who is on O2 just to get access to priority tickets. Even thought about taking out a cheap O2 contract just for this perk. They only allocate a certain number of priority tickets to O2 customers as well, the rest are sold at normal time to the rest of the public. Thought you’d written 02 so I came to write a post that it pissed me off, and now I can see that you did write O after all, so I’ve wasted my time which has pissed me off. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which fits neatly into something that pisses me off. O is a letter, zero is a number so when did (forever, I know) o the letter become part of number sequences.

Childcare, elderly care. Its a licence to print money. I know people who own both and are they are all filthy rich. You're basically charging enormous fees then paying for a few minimum wage employees to do the "looking after" My brother in law has his mother in private dementure care. Despit her being a very very bad case there is zero chance of any support. They money he's been charged is almost enough to employ 3 nurses on a one to one basis to provide round the clock personal care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had not a shred of signal when anywhere near the ground. Switched to EE and all good in there. I'm pretty sure Vodafone works too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
