I miss the days when the word trump was about eliminating a different kind of gas. Not in our house though; we called it a straight forward fart, or pump if we were being polite.

And now I can’t sleep through worrying about this. ADHD is a fucking curse, served up with a big dose of stigma, disbelief and expense. I really wish it didn’t exist. I’d choose to be without it in a heartbeat.

Wes Streeting is planning a Cass review for neurodivergency. We are the latest group targeted for public punishment in Labour's vain quest for rightwing support. Lives will be ruined and lives will be lost if they get their way. Please sign this petition. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/75...

Everything is terrible and horrible. So here is Ann-Margaret and Desi Arnez Jr. on the “Here’s Lucy” show in 1970 doing a dance number that’s been remixed to Prince’s “Kiss”. Ann-Margaret was hip AF! 🔥

been browsing this thread for the past day or two and it's really nice, some lovely little encounters, and some dickheads but mainly nice www.reddit.com/r/AskBrits/c...

MALVERN GAZETTE: Severn Trent finds Ken doll and wet wipes in sewers …and just look at him, the filthy devil. He’s loving every second of it.

I have Huguenot ancestry and think it should entitle me to a French passport. S’il vous plaît? 🙏

Yep, we were all hungry before we realised what a shit show corporate work was.

Is that it? Bizarre and embarrassing is your boss offering to rub goose fat and camphor oil on your chest, not asking for sum of 23 and 49. metro.co.uk/2026/03/12/m...

They should put a monkey on the £50 note and a pony on the £10 note to confuse the hell out cockneys.

This has made me happier than it probably should've done....

1/8 The idea ADHD's being overdiagnosed in society, I believe, is being driven by the rise of influencers who may or may not have been diagnosed with ADHD but share content pathologising every day struggles claiming it's because of ADHD - creating a perception its everywhere That's likely led to...

Tonight my brain decided sleep was a thing other people do. Looks like I’m pulling a random ADHD all nighter.

Labour MPs just voted to expand free school meals to half a million more children, lifting 100,000 children out of poverty. The Tories and Reform UK voted against. Only Labour will give children growing up in our country the best start in life.

Argh, got confused with a different will! He was a Royal Navy Captain, who retired in the 1890s through ill health. He sadly died by suicide 20 years later. Apparently he was very worried about the (First World) war and his inability to take part. #genealogy #ancestry

I found a strange request in a will by a Master Mariner, dated 1906, to make sure one of their pulse arteries is perforated & a basilic vein opened. Anyone come across this before? Is he in effect saying he wants to be embalmed? Or is he scared of vampires? #ancestry #genealogy

best wishes for Gary Retrograde to all those who celebrate...

My hairdresser and friend opened her business last week. Tonight it burned to the ground. This is devastating. I’ve set up a fundraiser. If you haven’t done anything for international women’s day yet, here’s a chance to support a women-run business in need: www.paypal.com/pools/c/9nhn...

Hey, I have a question for you, if you've got a couple of minutes to enthusiastically rant in my direction about something you love knowing. It's this: *What’s something you find amazing that you wish you could teach absolutely everyone?* Here's mine... 1/

Unbelievable. Despite promising to change their ways, Thames Water is still on course to dump record amounts of sewage this year. This can’t go on. Water companies and their regulators must do their part to clean our waterways.

They might also want to consider how British taxpayers are the ones that are likely to fund their rescue from their low tax situation.

My husband @mjowen174.bsky.social is very down and it’s difficult to see. He had a thriving writing business until AI came along but now he’s struggling to find work. Please repost this far and wide in the hope that he can find some writing work. www.mathew-owen.co.uk

Was oh so smug when I booked a winter sunshine break. When prepping last night I realised the accommodation I booked is rubbish, and the destination has a severe weather warning. At least I’m not going to Dubai.

Funny you should say that.

If you can live off selling your clothes, that might be where it all started to go wrong.

Now watching the Traitors New Zealand. The prize fund is currently at £4.29.

About a decade ago I found a website for BOLLOCK ENTERPRISES - a US kitchen worktops company, hence their website bollocktops.com - which caused much amusement to everyone in the UK I showed it to. Anyway, went to look again and FOR SOME REASON they now geo-block access from the UK

Dirty Business - the sewage scandal docu-drama - on C4 is staggering TV. Not only the cold rage of it, and the depiction of banal corporate evil, but the production methods and performances. Poo Chernobyl.

I‘m watching Dirty Business. It’s disgusting, infuriating and heart breaking. Justice should be done. Change should happen. www.channel4.com/programmes/d...

This was the first dance at my wedding. It was meant to be something else but the CD skipped the other song.

I have the same approach for cars that drive too close.

The danger is to think of Reform as just another version of the Tory Party They are so much worse They have taken the worst Tories - the most power-hungry, racist, misogynistic MPs - and empowered them to seek authoritarian rule They will decimate our rights and democracy They will rule over us!

A busy 24hrs of announcements. Here’s 11 bits of good news from our Labour government. Not widely available in our media without a negative slant. If at all. Energy bills down, EV costs subsidised, greater Russian sanctions, investment in social housing & GP access changes
