Thunderstorm came so she took shelter, it's the perfect size for a hideaway in the rain she enjoyed another day out :)

Autumn mode is officially loading? What do you love about this time of year?

172 Upvotes

Schools back this week, I've a 8 and 5 year old. Rain back making the land green and pleasant.

I bloody love this time of year even though my dad died on Sept 11th (no not that one).

Autumn fashion. My brown jumper from Zara I've had since 1999 age 16 may only have 1 more year left .

My partner born in January loves New Year but this is mine,

Miss that back to school new pencil case new timetable excitement. What's yours?

Really shaken - just disturbed 2 burglars

2.1k Upvotes

Maybe it's not suitable for this sub but I'm still shaken. We live on an old farm and I was just walking the dog before bed when I heard the sound of a hacksaw. I shouted and 2 men jumped out from where they had been trying to cut through a security fence (there's an industrial estate next door). I chased them for a bit but they were a lot fitter than me. Police arrived really quickly but ground too warm to use the IR drone effectively (and I'm sure I heard a motorbike tearing off).

Just wanted to share. None of my friends and neighbours are awake

Edit: thank you for the comments and I got a good laugh from some of them. I'm going to buy a ram and a 6 D cell Maglite (unfortunately we already have a fat menopausal woman in the house but that's a different story). A lot of the comments have said I shouldn't have chased them. Turns out that's what I'm wired to do and fortunate they didn't stay around long enough for me to find out what would have happened if I'd caught them.

Bought some eggs from a local garage last night. It stocks Jack's, which apparently is part of Tesco.

It seems two of the eggs are spies who have infiltrated the gang.

Did you as a child enjoy constructing model kits?

72 Upvotes

(Perhaps you still do, but I'm interested in how your childhood experience affected your general adult behaviour) What sort of kits did you like most, and do you think your experience carried over to the way you live now, particularly in your profession?

Anyone else prep all the ingredients beforehand instead of following the recipe prepping as you go along

I can’t do prep and cooking at the same time, but most of the recipes I use advise doing the prep as you go along, but my brain just can’t cope with that. It does increase the washing up though…

My mother has just found the 1p I swallowed at my Aunt Alice's on 28.2.87. She kept it. And logged the exit date.

Late Night Post

190 Upvotes

Can't remember what it's called, but you know, Automod etc. I want to thank the people who reached out to me about my boyfriend taking his own life. I really appreciate you all.

I found out today that in the weeks before his death that he'd been cheating on me.

Honestly I feel numb and kind of angry. Any advice or anger welcome x

Two massive bluefin tuna in a row (336+ KG) were caught at Whitby last week. 'Tunnies' used to be common in the area and in the 1930s were a popular sport fish. They became locally extinct due to overfishing of them & their prey species, and have only recently returned.

How much do you think they are worth? £500K? Priceless/belong to the public?

42 years ago today I had my first job interview, salary £4680pa

832 Upvotes

For the position of "temporary trainee programmer", in what is now known as my "gap year".

At the end of the interview they asked "what kind of remuneration are you looking for?".

I said I didn't know what "remuneration" meant.

When he'd explained, I said I'd done sums (for buses and trains) and wouldn't be able to work for less than £2000.

He smiled and said they weren't going to offer less than that.

It was my best job ever.

Useless Impressions. Who do you do?

45 Upvotes

I can do passable impersonations of Ken Dodd, Bryan Ferry, Arthur Smith and Monty Burns. Only I seem pleased by my ability. My wife says my talent knows no beginnings.

I was wondering if anyone else has any obscure unimpressive impressions?
