On ASMR, it also refers to a particular form of immersive, soothing sound design chiefly designed to exploit the capabilities of headphones with pleasing, relaxing audio texture. So you can get ASMR versions of damned near anything, from car maintenance to literary analysis of Also Sprach Zarathustra. I'm sure that ASMR porn is absolutely a thing.

Twitch shows a lot of AMSR done by women in bikinis.... amazing what a scantily clad woman can do with a flexible tongue and two microphones and still not be classified as porn. :shobon:

I thought you needed a TV licence even if you just use the internet in the UK?

Definitely not; you just can't watch anything 'live' (that includes live tv from other countries), Twitch & YT live feeds are fine (so far), can't watch BBC iPlayer either.

All of this may change in the future.

I stopped paying two years ago, got visited twice (that's run by Capita, the get paid for every catch they make and they are not BBC), said nothing, never opened the door to them and slowly accumulated a pile of annoyingly threatening letters which will frighten the unwary to a degree.

Pretty happy that i'm not paying for a service i don't use. :homebrew: :)

In a similar vein BOC just got in touch with us that due to the CF Ammonia plant in Billingham shutting due to gas prices, CO2 is getting a surcharge of GBP1540/tonne. Expect fertiliser, fizzy drinks, and loads of other stuff to become phenomenally more expensive over the coming months.

we had shots of vodka handed out on trays on the door in to my Glaswegian grandad's funeral reception

then we discovered our entire branch of the family have the wrong surname cos he did a fraud to claim redundancy from the shipyards twice so just changed his name

My family ended up with a similar but incorrect surname after a drunk doctor (in the 1920's) spelt my fathers surname wrong.

My father never bothered to change it during the war but my brother got the correct surname when he was born; this then caused a paperwork mess in the hospital so the rest of us got the incorrect surname to save the hassle.

Dad finally changed his name before he died, bit loving late for the rest of us though. lol

My incorrect name is easier for people to spell so i'm happy to leave it as is and i've got no kids anyway. :shrug:

Was watching a YT video where spelling wasn't that great back in the day for a lot of people including those making records like marriages and births.
Its why researching your ancestry is harder in Ireland and such, as they were more fluid with spelling.
So much the video said there was 5 family members who had 5 different spellings of the same last name.

Why am i not surprised, N.I. didn't get their best for countryside practices, especially pre NHS. :ughh:

The only person who said anything to me was a well dressed tory looking pensioner outside the chippy. When I mentioned that it was cannabis, followed quickly with 'don't worry, it's legal, it's prescribed', she then asked me 'does it help?'. It then turned out that she suffered badly with chronic pain from her lupus, and confided in me that she heavily used cannabis when she spent a few years as a hippy in the 60's... I left her with the details on how to sign up with Sapphire Medical Clinics with the full knowledge that she'll easily be accepted.

Not gonna lie... it feels good being able to potentially change peoples lives for the better in this way. My 1m volcano bag will be a fixture for every trip outside now.

Our dog is a Yorkie/JRT mix and the sweetest possible girl. She's also pushing 15 and needs help jumping up on furniture and such now.

A couple months ago mum was sitting in the garden and saw a blur, heard a squeak, and the dog had absolutely murdered a rat that was trying to sneak along one of the flowerbeds. Just shot across, one shake, done. And then we had to spend half an hour trying to comfort the dog that no, in this specific instance, biting is okay and fine. She was sure she'd been bad. :3:

This is her, just before a haircut, attempting to get my attention at 2am from my doorway. She can't come in here, you see, because the cat is a tyrant.


My aunt had a Yorkie that lived to 21... blind and balding but very much cared for.
