I thought Dyson was the engine of British industry, which is why there's poo poo in all the water and it stops working every couple of years.

I go to our local Spoons to use the conveniences which are somewhat nicer than the council conveniences 100m down the road.
I always feel obliged to pretend I'm looking for someone by looking around as I approach the stairs down to the required location.

It's also possible to buy 'radar key' copies for a few pounds on ebay/amazon that give you access to disabled toilets around the country.

As long as you clean up after yourselves, I have no issues sharing my shitters with you

I went to get some keys cut at Timpsons and the guy just gave me a radar key for free, he saw my wife was pregnant and said it might be useful if she needed the loo.

I've got one - it was my dad's. If my leg muscles are playing up, I find some of the long long staircases some of these places have up or down to the toilets painful and I can hear everyone tutting under their breath as I make my way painstakingly up or down, let alone sometimes the cubicles are really difficult to manoeuvre in with inward opening doors, sanitary bins, & sometimes so small you don't have room for your legs to sit down if you're more than 5ft tall.

Also I don't see the point of having a bog standing empty if there's a long queue just because no one in a wheelchair is around.
It should be read as "this toilet has fitments suitable for someone with particular mobility needs' (or some such words) not 'you can't use this toilet unless you have mobility needs'.

This might be a regional thing, all the ones I’ve had have been pretty acceptable! I think maybe some actually fry the chips and others just microchip it? The Benedict is indeed pretty alright. The steaks are absolutely unbelievably bad.

Christ, I already got my covid shots, how many microchips are they trying to put in me?!

e; me and a uni friend would go to spoons for breakfast on Wednesday one year because we had a class first thing and then nothing the rest of the day so we'd just eat and chat, he'd drop me off at home. The breakfast fry was pretty decent. Prime example of how someone can be a sound friend but also a tory knob, we ah, don't talk anymore lol

On the subject of alcohol a very good friend of mine who happens to work at a cat shelter in Sheffield remembered me telling a story of drinking cans of Faxe in university and giggling because they're so big it's like your a wee babby holding a normal can and they tracked one down for me for Christmas.



It's surprisingly tasty and holy poo poo a litre of lager. Why don't we do a maß of beer like Germany? gently caress pints.

There's nothing wrong with having friendships that are very circumstantial.
Most of us have different friends who meet different social/political/cultural needs, and I'd be impressed (and a little scared) of anyone whose entire group of friends agreed on everything.

Well yeah, but everyone has their boundaries and limits to what level of rear end in a top hat they're willing to spend valuable moments of their lives with. Most of the "you need friends you disagree with" discourse comes from bigots who are mad that people don't want to listen to their terrible opinions and/or have given up trying to debate them

Oh absolutely, but a couple of years after we finished uni this particular friend was banging on about how great the Cameron government was and how it was good they were going to start cracking down on lazy skivers taking welfare and how we needed to be much tougher on criminals. I should clarify when I say "tory knob" I don't mean a tory voter, or party member, I mean has been an elected tory councilor and is apparently now a parliamentary aide to a tory MP

I've just woken from a very stressful dream where a scammer hacked my various online accounts and then conned my family into sending 'me' money.

This is what I get for sharing tales of credit card theft before bed. Also, don't reuse passwords on different sites.

Have a password for family.

I had a friend change her whatsapp phone number from a canadian one to one from somewhere in Asia (where I know she has been travelling) yesterday, so I'm afraid she got the inquisition from me as to where I knew her from etc until I was satisfied she had given me info no one else would have known! (She wasn't asking for money though!)

My sister had her bank account emptied a few years ago because she used the same password on ebay as on paypal as on her online banking. A lesson learned the hardway! (I have never ever engaged with ebay at all as I know several people who have been essentially robbed from it - even when a friend abroad begged me to get her some perfume she really liked off ebay I point blank refused. We're still friends.).

Passwords should be complex, using a mix of lower case and upper case letters, and numbers.

Password123 is a good one, for example.

Friend did his uni years in Sheffield.
Went to the Forbidden Planet there nearly weekly, was a massive collector of graphic novels.
Became friends with the owner.
One day woke up to his bank emptied, all the money he needed for uni gone.
Reported to police, police traced it back to the owner of the Forbidden Planet.
